This is such frickin' crap

Rhyste · Post by **Rhyste** » Fri Jun 20, 2003 9:30 pm

I have seriously hit my limit about how much I can take here, people. ~_~ If you can't TELL, I'd rather NOT get PM's from people [namely: Ashitaka the "I don't get it" retard, BlackRoseLover the dumb spammer, and AlphaAndOmega the no-sense maker, amungst many others] saying, "I want to be your friend." I don't like or appreciate people Pmming me and trying to become my friend because I'm "famous" or whatever when it comes to .hack. This is such crap, and you have to lack serious common sense and general respect to be able to PM someone and ask them that. Not only is it pathetic and desparate and STUPID, I've had stalkers before and thus do not even find these remotely FUNNY. I have a closed buddy list for a Reason. I have a new email address every other week for a reason, and you people do NOT help with that. I'm getting annoyed by getting all this crap: leave me the hell ALONE, if you can't take a HINT from my freakin' PM's. I have friends here at this board, and I'd rather NOT have to change my identity or leave or something because a bunch of immature little brats who think they can be Rhyste's friend keep PMming me or just in general being creeps and dumbasses. ~_~ And do you know WHY it bothers me? Because it happens all the time, and it's dumb, and it's not cute, and it's not funny. Stop using my name, stealing my personality, pmming me for friendship, and asking for respect. You don't just go up to a person and go, "I want to be your friend" IRL, that's just stupid and rude. Am SO tired of getting it on the internet. ~_~ If you want respect or whatever, maybe you should show me some first: JUST a frickin' hint about how the Real World will typically work too, BTW. And if you think this is an act of "drawing attention to myself" or WTF ever, then why even bother to reply to this? Just freakin' move on and go be stupid elsewhere.

Hahaha! sounds like me and people IMing me because my blog is 9th in the Google search for Evanescence.

This is a good notice to everyone, especially newcomers. While it's understandable people would probably like to get to know others better on the board, there is such a thing as personal space and privacy. None of the people on this board want to be harassed. This board is for informative purposes only. There's a chat channel for a reason (even though I haven't gone there myself, but that's besides the point). I've heard cases of PMing for 'I want to be your friend' reasons to Moderators aside from the board-goers. This is -not- a way to get on the good side of Moderators, in most cases you're probably getting on their bad side by bugging them.
PMing is for inquiries.... not personal questions and personal hook-ups. ...and while I'm at it, I'll add this too- requests to be a moderator are -not- going to be tolerated. ~_~

Thanks for your time.

I concur with your views on this, Rhyste. I have also received unwarranted (and utterly pointless) PMs that had nothing to do with anything except getting my attention. I certainly don't think I've gotten nearly as many as you have, however.

Another thing, while AIM is certainly conveniant and fun, I purposely do not give out my SN here (or on other boards) to the general public. I'm aware that many others also practice this cautionary measure.

I'm curious, is there a way to block specific members from being able to PM you? Or perhaps the best way to deal with this would be to forward these offensive emails to the Mods, and Bear.

I haven't have problems with PMs just instant messaging and e-mail which I will soon make anti public... I just can't deal with getting three forwards from a board member I haven't heard of before....

YashaOokami · Post by **YashaOokami** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 1:43 am

Ah..I feel the same as well,I keep getting PMs all the time,some in which I can handle and are mainly small minor requests that I willing take on with the use of my own free will and time.But there are some PMs that are getting on my nerves,its just...dumb.Luckily,all I have to say is a few simple words and they are gone,thank gawd u.u;I also do agree,that I dont put my aim name and just my yahoo name on there,because of this,I hardly go on my yahoo name at all,and I've had a few people from this board either IM or put me on their buddy list,without even asking...even so,I also agree with Rhyste's case;in the real world,you dont just go up to say,"Hi,I want to be your friend!" Get it through your thick skulls...not everyone in the world is like that,not everyone in the world is going to hold your hand and sing along in the circle together -_-;

I'm sorry for rambling,but I wanted to also contribute to this thread about some of the PMs going on lately.

Flattering, yet annoying. The worst.

I have somewhat of this happen at another forum [because I'm admin], it's hella annoying.

Sora · Post by **Sora** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 4:17 am

Hmm.

I had no idea this was happening. Rhyste, if you PM one of us if it happens again (forwarding the message you got, as well), we'll be happy to take care of it.

This goes for everyone else as well. If you're getting harassing or annoying PMs, first ask the person to stop in a polite and informative way. If they still persist, let us know so we can DO something about it.

If you take no action, it won't stop.

We're here to moderate, and this is part of our job, so if you let us know, we'll do something (yes, I said this three times or so, I know, but it's important).

Thanks.

I used to be like that... annoying & looking for friends online... but I've gotten better, & that's why I feel liked here.^^

But people who do that just need to grow up, & stop kising ass. :\

this is what I sent Rhyste:
I can't post things like you would get along with BT. Anyway you seem interesting enough, what's up?

Now I asked a question namely, what's up. I didn't ask if she would be my friend, i didn't ask if she would be cool enough to talk to me because she is famous. And i didn't bother her again when she told me basically to go to hell. So someone please explain to me why that's harrassing. It may be annoying, and that's why i stopped because i feared i was annoying her, but it is not harrassing in any way. Looks to me like Rhyste can't take a compliment. I called her interesting, not that!!! That's such a horrible thing to say. And since when does this fall under the general discussion of .hack? It should be moved to "I'm crying because someone wants to talk to me." This is the point of a message board is it not?

by the way Rhyste when you call someone a "no-sense maker" and then "amungst" directly afterwards it's more than a little ironic.

You still engaged into a conversation she may had not wanted to be in, or had carried on, possibley. As she said before, she gets annoyed & bothered by alot of people, & That's more than likely the way it starts off. Plus, most people come to beleive that if they respond to you, they're your friend, & will constantly want to talk to you.
it's weird, & sorry if I came off rude to anyone.

I think Balmung and Sora already stated the reason..this goes out for everyone,both newcomes and old members,Rhyste is only telling you of what she is going through,not just because one person,no,but with some of the members at this forum.This topic may not be a topic about the anime,the manga or the .hack games,but its a topic to this forum itself.
I find it very sad and disappointing that it leads to a type of harrassment in a community such as this..

AlphaAndOmega · Post by **AlphaAndOmega** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 6:21 am

It's true she may or may not have wanted to talk with me, but i didn't know that, and there's absolutely no need to cry to the moderators about it, she simply told me to leave her alone in her own sarcastic way and that was the end of it. This is a message board, where does it state that messaging someone isn't permissible? Give me a break.

Rhyste wrote:If you want respect or whatever, maybe you should show me some first

Just scanning brief posts, you show no one respect on this board Rhyste. Besides the only kind of respect I advocate is mutual respect, I'm not gonna kiss your ass to get respect from you. If you don't like the fact that I messaged you that's fine. Here are a few of the choice things that you say to people and then think they should show you respect:

Rhyste wrote:... Yasha I would appreciate it if you ALSO didn't spread useless nonsense.

Rhyste wrote:Holy JESUS Christ: I've been telling people, "**************" since... before this board opened.

(**'s are spoilers and as such are bleeped out)

Just to name a few. Yes these are quoted out of context, but serve to show that you show absolutely no respect to others Rhyste, and deserve none from me.

Even on your website you whine about content being stolen. You seem like a smart person, maybe you are naive, but I don't get it. Don't you know that people steal things off the internet ALL the time?
Have fun being negative and hostile to people you don't even know.

YashaOokami wrote:I find it very sad and disappointing that it leads to a type of harrassment in a community such as this

I find it sad that I'm typing out this long post which will be ignored. I guess your definition of harrassment and mine differ.

Rhyste wrote:JUST a frickin' hint about how the Real World will typically work too, BTW.

You don't know what my world is don't seek to comment on it. I never commented on you and didn't personally attack you until you attacked me. Go cry to someone else because they dared to ask you a question. The world has ended because Rhyste is angry.

Elk · Post by **Elk** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 6:28 am

Ryste actually does show respect... Why do you think she's so well respected here?
All she's doing is asking to be left alone. No need to rage at her.
