Have you ever ragequit an online community?

[(Anonymous)]

Details please.

Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

[morieris]

I'm on my way.

I'm pretty sure the last straw was someone basically screaming in the vein of 'Not all men want to rape women' instead of holding the men who do or push up on women who don't want it accountable, but then again this was a Brony forum and i'm surprised I lasted three years on there to begin with.

I only pop in to check when the show is back.

ONTD. I couldnt stand the whole "WHITE PEOPLE ARE EVIL! MEN ARE EVIL! ______STAN! _______ THROWING SHADE AT ________!"

Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

[morieris]

This is always something I see people on FS talk about (Or someone who got their ass handed to them on ONTD for being racist or sexist) - what posts were all this going on in? I truly admit I am there mostly for animation posts and box office stuff, so I must miss all this, even if I track the racism tag.

I remember having to stop going to that site after I read one user's post calling slash fans "cunts" who had issues with their own bodies because these women were shipping Kirk and Spock instead of Spock and Uhura.

I used to love that site for the Trek news, but the fact that no one challenged this user really didn't sit well with me.

Gaia online. No big story there, I just got sick of the drama and the pedophilia.

Animeotk caters to my kink, but the attitude of some of the mods was revolting so I quit that place too.

Sorrt of. I ragequit an RPG group within a forum. To be honest I have a lot of regrets, because my friends were pretty upset about how I handled it. It wasn't my best moment.

Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

I threatened to a few times on LJ. But I kept going back.

Ironically when all the mods and admins started to give up on the site, I was the only one who tried to save it. Funny how that works.

A writing community. So what, I forgot to lj-cut my fic and the moderator just deleted my post! She was supposed to be my friend, obviously she's not so fuck her shitty community and her dictatorship.

Deleterius, though it wasn't so much rage as disgust.

Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

[(Anonymous)]

I normally don't get worked up enough about online stuff to ragequit, sometimes I get annoyed and I might slowly stop visiting, but usually I just stop visiting due to lack of interest.

I was part of a drama where a mod quit and then the other mod went crazy and started openly acting like a bitch and deleted everyone's comments when she did. Someone started a new community and I joined not because I even cared about what started the drama but because I didn't feel like dealing with a terrible mod.

Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

I wouldn't say ragequit, but I left the Mass Effect LJ community due to a number of factors (mostly personal reasons pertaining to work, offline matters, and changing interests at the time) that would have inevitably resulted in a wanky nervous breakdown, lmao. (And after seeing what happened with ME3, I'm relieved I stepped down when I did. Honestly, I was a poor mod to begin with, and the 'Retake Mass Effect'/Ending stuff would have been the definite end of my blood pressure.

Anyhow, I never went back to it and other LJ communities... because I ended up deleting my LJ several months later for unrelated reasons and moved on to other social networking platforms. =V

Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

[bigpaw]

Shoot I thought the answer was no at first, but I just remember some intense roleplaying drama from when I was like twelve. It was in my WARRIORS WINDCLAN guild on neopets, and I was a preteen and decided no one was paying enough attention to me, so I had my warrior cat get hit by a car and die trying to cross the road, and then I quit the guild. But then I joined again five minutes later because I was sure everyone was talking about me, and me and my irl friend who was also in the guild got in this huge capslock shouting match on the message boards, and then we made up and deleted all the posts and I rejoined like nothing happened with a new character.
Man, I miss 2004.

Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

[icecheetah]

Back in the days when I had four hours of internet access a WEEK, and had things to do then. I was part of several RP communities.

In one of them, I was unexpectedly made a mod. I was excited, I was a teenager and this was some huge compliment. But not long afterwards, all the other mods just... disappeared! And I was left to deal with all the new members applying for accounts and they were all complaining about how slow it all was. I didn't have time for it, I didn't want to spend the four hours of internet I had a week not doing fun stuff.

So I banned myself from the community.

Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

[dethtoll]

The forums at TTLG.com. 10 years I put up with their snobbery and abuse and general horseshit. 10 years I put up with their completely broken moderation system that literally had a de facto "dethtoll is always wrong" rule where when deciding who to ban for a fight, they picked me regardless of who started the fight because I had more infractions (mostly given by a moderator who disliked me -- I once got a monthlong ban because of a fight between two other people that I was completely uninvolved with.)

10 years I put up with Thief fans' creepy obsession. 10 years I put up with old school PC gaming elitism. 10 years I put up with being shit on because I don't like Planescape Torment. 10 years of dipshits deliberately trying to provoke me because they think it's funny.

I made friends there that I've kept. I had a few people I thought were friends, but not really. I've made a few enemies, of course, like the anti-Semite who made a racist joke that offended everyone except the resident troll then tried to tell me I was a bad person for calling him an anti-Semite. Or the guy who thinks women and gays are a lizardmen conspiracy, and constantly accused me of being "the most homophobic and hateful person on TTLG." Or the guy who spoke proudly of voting against gay rights while calling himself the Avatar of Tolerance, and posted very rarely (once every couple years) and every time he did it was to say something cartoonishly evil.

Why did I go to this shithole again? I don't even remember anymore.

Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

[(Anonymous)]

I totally flounced out of an RP once because I really didn't like the way things were going, and one thing triggered me a bit. The way I handled it was immature ad I regret it.

Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, a Narusaku one. I got sick of them calling Hinata a shitty character because she had big boobs and was 'fat'. They also used a victim of domestic violence, a real one, as a hamfisted way to insult SS shippers and I got so disgusted with their hypocrisy I just left. Soured me on the pairing, too.

Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. A friend who was moderator of a chat room insisted on running it like it was her own clubhouse, but the "rules" for what was acceptable varied depending on her mood... and she was bipolar. So one day, you could say anything and it'd be cool. (I'm not talking about abusive racist stuff, just banter with friends because we all knew each other.) The next day, she'd be feeling sensitive and you couldn't say a damn thing that wasn't "nice".

But here's the kicker: she had a real problem with talking shit about people in private chats, but pretended she didn't approve in public. One day she banned me for refusing to agree with her on an issue. I didn't disagree; I simply stated that I didn't want to talk about it and would not get involved. She regretted banning me later, but didn't have the ovaries to contact me private and ask me to come back, so I never did.

Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

Oh yeah. I didn't make a big thing of it in public or on the group, I just left. It was an online community that did crafts and swaps and some of the people there were absolutely fucking terrible. We're talking women aged 25-65 who are all sweet and into pictures of kittens, but you scratch the surface and you found religious anti-vaxxers who thought you'd go to hell if you weren't Christian and oh yes, porn turns men into sick sex addicts.

Steam. Not because of the community in general (because let's get real, most online gaming communities are shit) but because I'm not fond of the whole deal where the games you buy from them, you technically don't own. They just grant you a license to the games, but they're not yours. It's right there in the Steam agreement. They once broke a game of mine with the Steampipe conversion, and Steam support was of no help to me in trying to get it fixed. So done with Steam and PC gaming in general.

I quit a fandom after everyone accused someone of being a date rapist because they didn't like him.

Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

A community for self-published people that was full of novices (some had never written fiction before at all) who just wanted to get rich quick and hated the vendors and customers. There's nothing wrong with writing in a lucrative category like het romance to pay the bills while you work on your passion projects or work toward other career goals, but if you actively hate romance, look down on the audience, and are unwilling to do any research, maybe try something else. You're not owed sales because you're so much better than the 50s-stereotype housewives you assume are the only people contributing to this zillion dollar a year industry. Especially when you spend most of your time at home yourself and openly complain about your crappy, stifling marriage. My irony meter blew up a few too many times at that forum. The weirdest thing was when they couldn't wrap their heads around readers expecting physical descriptions of the characters. It's not fanfic, we don't know what anyone looks like. And even if we did, these are stories where two people become physically attracted to each other, not just emotionally. Put in a few details to help us understand why the people are attractive. Just a few. A couple of them tapped into popular subgenres at the right time and made enormous amounts on debut books, then tanked afterwards. Bad reviews tend to deter repeat business, who knew.

AVEN.

The straw that broke the camel's back was a thread basically stating that pedophilia was a legitimate sexual orientation that should be defended, and that pedophiles were an oppressed minority. There were several victims of actual child abuse in that thread who were deeply upset by it.

Apart from that, there was a lot of... I guess, it almost felt like pressuring people to ID as asexual right away.

That, and inventing a million and one labels for every little thing. Last I heard they had stuff like "lithromantic". IDEK man.

Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

Two places:

Place 1: A lot of drama went down and everyone was really stressed out about it. I eventually decided to take a break to cool off a bit, then tried coming back a long while later since I didn't feel right just bailing on everyone, and one particular member just continued treating me like shit so I said to hell with it and left for good. I left a lot of good friends behind but I honestly could not deal with the constant harassment from that one person. It's been a long time since then and everyone involved is probably more mature now, but it's healthier for me to just stay away and keep to myself.

Place 2: Kind of similar to a post above. The community was chat-based, and some of the staff members got power-crazy (or they were incredibly lazy and didn't do their job). One of the admins made her girlfriend a moderator without consulting the main admin, and said moderator had some kind of personality disorder and just caused so many problems (banning for no reason, messing with parts of the site, arguing with the main admin) that a lot of us, main admin included, left. From what I've heard the place went to hell after that.

I sort of ragequit Magistream. I love the creatures, but I can't deal with the community. Too many teenagers whining about their RP partners not being online and 'baww school'. I just didn't want to deal with their complaining.
