F!S Anon Meme (the ??th!)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff. If you want me to link your thread up here, drop a link in the first comment!

List of threads:

Favorite FSers
Your diehard fandoms
NSFW confession thread
Topics you wish FS would stop wanking about
What do you want FS to talk about more?
(Pan)fandom discussion post
General opinions
Fapping material?
Random rants

Fandom Fests bring out the worst in people

[(Anonymous)]

Leave me alone. Please. Dear god. I've never run a fest before. And now I'm regretting volunteering to run our March thing. Because there are some anons in this fandom who are just really rude. They keep messaging me, demanding I do things the way they want. One person really wants porn and thinks non-porn likers don't contribute to the fandom. Another person really doesn't want porn and thinks that having even a bit of it is awful and that porn is ruining the fandom. I put up a poll voting on theme. Morbid March won out, but prompt fest was a pretty close second. So I'm doing both so there is something for everyone. Some people are offended by this, either way.

I'm really trying to be nice and reply politely to everyone. But honestly I just want to tell them all to go away and leave me alone.

Perhaps a firm line is in order. You can't please some people, and if you've been polite about it, it's time to tell them your decision is final and you won't talk about it anymore. They can bitch about it to their friends but they'd do that anyway. It should be fun for you too.

Here's what you do:

Make a public post saying that due to recent nasty anon comments you are considering making the events named-users only. That should stop the comments.

If it doesn't make good on your threat and ignore the messages.

Seconding.

You may have people leave because of it, but I can tell you from personal experience you'll also have people who are appreciative that you stood up like that.
