Snooze Cruise posted:is there anyway to get name remove rn or is it just a thing of i need to wait, im fine with the later but it still bothers me to have stuff in there that misgenders me, sob sob So I know you can log into your VF account and fix your pronouns. To kill Aliases that you hate, you have to go to View Players, search for your SA name, and click on that page for your profile. THen just x out any aliases you never want to see again.

You should be able to go in and claim the account that exists, you'll have to do a short song and dance with your SA profile but then it should be linked up again?

Sandwolf posted:Would you be willing to be a point of contact outside the community for people who have issues within the community to come to? We will also have some in-community folks but it's not a bad thing to have a higher authority to be able to go to. Yes, absolutely. I haven't asked her but I'm certain Antivehicular! would too, and any future TG/TGR moderator, and any SA admin. This goes for everything that happens on the forums, and anything off the forums that is happening to/by forums posters, or related to on-forums stuff.

Not going to bother echo chambering the stuff (it's true) but I agree that you should come play with us! We always give newbies a warm welcome. Sometimes with words, sometimes with vigilante shots...

I generally avoid betrayal games after some uh, let's say embarrassing experiences with Diplomacy and the computer game Dominions. I'll lurk a game and if it seems like a thing I'd enjoy then perhaps I'll join in the next time!

Sandwolf posted:The biggest in-community issue we have these days is rudeness. Scientastic posted:Yes, there’s not enough of it! It is incomplete to portray Mafia as being just a game of social deduction. It's also a game of social manipulation. There is an overlap between tactics of manipulation and tactics of abuse. There IS real potential for harm here. In the years I have been part of the SA Mafia community, I think I've mostly seen the people I personally think whose play is most potentially harmful have drifted away, so I am speaking mostly in potential rather than condemning current community play. But we have had games where people, including myself, have been negatively affected. -- In regards to self-policing Podima has been an issue for a while. We have two Mafia discords, and feelings around Podima were part of the impetus some people had in desiring a new one. Multiple people were shocked and upset when Podima then also got Mod roles on the new server. Shell wasn't initially willing to unmod Podima when concerns were expressed, though, to be clear, I don't think the extent of this history was made clear to them at the time. I was pretty unhappy that those concerns weren't being given what I thought was appropriate weight. I was the person who volunteered to ask Podima to resign from that position:  Really a lot of interesting parallels.

Rosa, we immediately unmodded him when we were told about how people in the community felt about him being in a position of authority. People still, then, did not give us any real concrete details on what happened. We did not entirely understand but we removed his authority very quickly once we saw folks were not happy with that decision.

Literally all I knew was he was a mod. Multiple people PMed me, too, and he did get demodded in a matter of hours. I'm not going to raise a ruckus, tho, I was rather confused and didn't react in the exact second, so that one is on me. But also, lol, if anyone wants to take over the Discord y'all are more than welcome to, I'll give it to whoever wants it. It was literally a task no one else wanted to do.

I think the big thing that happens somewhat regularly (or did when I was regularly playing here, mostly 2-5 years back) is that people will press others too hard and it will prompt an emotional rejoinder, especially when the person pressing is doing so in a way that seems unfair or rude this is usually sorted out by someone leaving the game or conversation cooling off and people taking a break, which is an explicit option under every ruleset and never needs to be justified, but sometimes the person pressing the other is the one being a dick (rather than he person attacked needing to opt out of an emotionally affecting situation) and things can get tricky this is a tone issue for the most part and I like to think people being warned for being too rude is a thing that happens, but it's worth mentioning because many game runners may be hesitant to interject when things are borderline

Also, it was, and it is, a Discord literally for people who wanted to organize and talk Mafia stuff, and for a lot of reasons, people did not want to use the older one. It's not exactly official, nor linked to SA in any way, anyone is free to make theirs. We did think having the (then) forum mod as a mod was a good idea, turns out it wasn't.

My understanding was (to Podima's credit) Podima was unmodded from the new Discord only after offering to step down. Which I'm glad happened. If that wasn't the way it went down, cool. Ultimately it did get resolved. But since Podima is at the center of this conversation, I think that is an episode that needs to come up.

And being kind of lovely to Shell in the process.

Shellception posted:I'm all for this. If we need names, and apart from the mods themselves, I actually think Voodoo, Hal, Grandi, Opopanax as players that have been here a long time, know basically everyone around the old and new community and are reasonable, levelheaded people can all do a great work on that front. For newer, active people, Cloacamazing!, wologar and HyperCrabTank all started playing in the last year and all are also extremely reasonable people that can be trusted, IMO. Thanks for the vote of confidence! I'll say that I have found this a pretty understanding community in general, and while it's become very obvious over the last days that it hasn't always been this way, it currently feels like a good place to be. If anybody needs someone to talk to about anything, issues with people, mafia burnout, etc, feel free to contact me here or on Discord.

Honestly if someone is being a weirdo and/or sex pest it should be loudly reported in here. We're a pretty progressive group and that would likely be the end of it. If they aren't comfortable then sure they can PM me and I'll do it

Recommend making a separate post in TGR with this explicitly as a post title or something. Feels like a good way to improve process transparency? Since it's just IK maybe do it at the same time since low-stakes, but would be useful to use some of the generally good suggestions that have been thrown out in recent SAD threads.
