I was under the impression that once they got a certain number of complaints, they were passed on to the player, and if said player didn't take said complaints into consideration and make changes and kept getting complaints then... I think they take them away?

Idk, I do suppose they could be clearer about what happens when people complain, but- The fact is, the thread is there for people to do the complaining, so that the mods can do something about it.

Of course, people can always IM a mod for more info so- yeah I'mma stop tl;dr'ing now D:

A poly member?

[identity profile] slutty.livejournal.com 2007-12-10 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

I uh... am assuming you were asking if I am, right? D:

[identity profile] snapple.livejournal.com 2007-12-10 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm just curious as to how many complaints are needed. If the fandom and/or group of characters is small, and one is wildly OOC, then I'm not sure what's done about that.

I know, and it really should be used. I've already filed a complaint about a character and am pondering one or two more, but I'm simply wondering how long/how much action is taken, you know?

I'm about to do that, actually. XD ♥~

[identity profile] slutty.livejournal.com 2007-12-10 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhhh, no idea. D: That's a good question though. I... would want to think it's more than one, because one could just be... idk, a grudge against someone or someone who think a char should be played a certain way or something, but multiple complaints would show the mods that the char could definitely be OOC.

Pondering a couple of complaints myself, but- Lol, laziness 8D Just... gotta get myself over there. I think if players knew more about what the mods did once they get complaints, they might be more inclined to use the thread but- DUNNO. :/

Alright, alright~ 8D ♥~

[identity profile] snapple.livejournal.com 2007-12-10 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I just asked; it's three.

Yeah. I think a bit of clarification on that thread would clear things up a lot.

:D

[identity profile] slutty.livejournal.com 2007-12-10 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
GOOD TO KNOW. Thanks for passing that along~ ♥

Ah~ If you didn't suggest that to whomever you spoke to, perhaps I shall pass that suggestion along?

[identity profile] snapple.livejournal.com 2007-12-10 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure thing. ♥

I actually forget if I did or not... but more people in agreement couldn't hurt, right?

[identity profile] slutty.livejournal.com 2007-12-10 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Right~! I'll go hit up a mod about that~ I'm sure they're having lots of fun with talking to people right now, but- |D

After a number of complaints have gathered [said number is relative to the size and popularity of the fandom / crew / exposure, and of our personal deliberation ] , we will compile them and send the player of the allegedly OOC character an e-mail with the following information: number of complaints, nature of complaints and suggestions. At no times will the player who you have deemed to be portraying his / her character badly have access to your identity.

This means depending on the fandom, it's going to be minimum 3 complaints.

(Anonymous) 2007-12-11 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
As someone who has made use of the complaint thread the main issue with it is the number of complaints it takes to get the player's attention. And even if they don't adjust their characterization it takes another good 6 complaints to get the character taken away.

It's also impossible for a player to know how/if their input has any effect. It does get to the point where it can be frustrating. Even if a complaint thread exists not everyone feels comfortable using it so even if a there's a character that is generally considered OOC not a lot of people will use the complaint thread because they're either intimidated or think it's useless.
