Dear Anonymous

02/10/2009

Hello Bloopers,

There's something I have to get off my chest, and it is regarding the Dear Anonymous diary.

Where personalities clash, there will be problems. People will say horrible things and they will do horrible things. Dear Anonymous is like a magnet for drama, anyone that goes there because they enjoy reading the entries - you may not agree with the entries, but if you're navigating your way to the diary then it obviously satisfies some part of your personality. If you don't like drama, don't read that diary.

There are people on this website that I dislike and some that I even hate. What do I do? I block them. I avoid them. I send them anthrax. Just kidding. That only happened once.

I would like to eventually create sub communities of Bloop, this is an idea I've been toying with for a while now. Each sub community would have its own set of moderators, and that set of moderators would be able to kick people out of the community. If you have ideas about this, you should let me know.

But in the mean time. Please, if you don't like drama, don't come to my diary and complain to me because you can't control your mouse! Whether or not I agree with what Dear Anonymous does is irrelevant, because it's not my diary! Reading the diary and commenting the diary is fueling the fire.

Steve.

I think sub-communities could be problematic...like, kicking people out because a mod doesn't like them? Or would it be a more democratic? For that matter...What happens to someone kicked out?

Other: I love the messenger, yo.

agree'd

oh i just wanted a mention a bug that i've found. i dunno if it's still there as i have checked since, but you know how you can make reader passwords for non-bloopies? i tried making one, and it worked but it wouldnt submit a comment when i was testing it.... i have my diary on MO but my comments on "everyone" so non-bloopies can comment. any suggestions?

I have to say that I completely disagree with the sub-communities idea. What are we back in high school? This site is clicque-y enough without adding fuel to flame by allowing people to be accepted and kicked out of various communities.

But I do agree with you regarding Dear Anonymous.

[Mommy_BunnyStar|0 likes] [|reply]

so many times people are told to do just that but do they listen??? of course not

[My life My World|0 likes] [|reply]

People actually come to you and complain about DA?

Wow.

Just... wow.

*walks off shaking head*

I have to agree that sub-communities will just make more problems then anything. *shrugs*

[Meghans Follie|0 likes] [|reply]

well said! I like your idea about sub communities!

[Hannah Montana|0 likes] [|reply]

I don't really like the idea of subcommunities because I think that would give too many people power and there seem to be a lot of power-hungry people on here. But I completely agree about the Dear Anonymous diary. if you don't like what's in it, dont' read it.

[Lucky ♥ Lo|0 likes] [|reply]

i completely agree. i do not think the sub-communities is a very good idea though, i can see a lot of drama/problems with that

[The Mrs. {+1}Star|0 likes] [|reply]

Agreed about DA.

What I like about bloop is that I 'recognize' nearly everyone, even if I am not a regular reader of them. if we create sub communities, there's going to be some isolation from others we don't know as well, who are in other communities. how would we ever get to know them, then? I don't really understand what purpose it would serve.

divisions seem like the last thing the community needs. we may not always get along, but I'd rather keep the whole community atmosphere rather than separate it into various pieces. I would also say I see no reason for more moderators. what we have seems fine, and the more there are, the more problems are created with personal conflicts/decisions.

Unfortunately, I see this "sub community" system as merely another way to introduce the "cliques." If you remember "the fat club" and "the eff you club" and all the drama related to the "SA" and all that nonsense -- it's going to make things worse, more segregated, and less community oriented. I think this idea is really going to increase the drama, especially with the appointment of moderators, which will probably end up being much of the source of drama, additionally.

[AntikörperStar|0 likes] [|reply]

I have a feeling that the sub communities is going to be more drama than its worth.

[Eternal Reminiscence|0 likes] [|reply]

Agree with the DA thing..fun to read but if you don't like it, leave.

I also think the sub-communities is an awful idea. We already have that pretty much, but it's not modded. Allowing regular Joe's to kick Bloopers out of communities if they don't like them reverts us back to high school and will only leave people feeling like crap.

If you want to lose Bloop members that don't really fit in anywhere, then by all means create sub-communities. Otherwise, really, it's not a good idea.

[JaimeStar|0 likes] [|reply]

AGREED.

I only read it because it makes me laugh.

And it was YOU that sent me the anthrax. Thanks. Jerk.

I like that idea. But I think the Mod should have to put it to a vote that way its more democratic. Good points too. Makes sense to me. Have a good Tuesday.

Later Days!

I really think sub communities is a bad idea. Talk about setting up people to fight!

[mrs mandy mooStar|0 likes] [|reply]


Hehe 'just once.' xD

I think Bloop is more attractive the way it is now - one larger community, as opposed to a few smaller communities. If anything, drama will be more prevalent in smaller communities, because everyone will know everyone else.

[lithium layouts.Star|0 likes] [|reply]

Sub communities would make it worse. It's bringing everyone back to highschool and having cliques.

[|stripes|Star|0 likes] [|reply]

oh, bless you steve, for stating the obvious. lol.

everyone has been telling these "unhappy" folks this for quite some time now, yet they don't seem to get the hint. maybe now that the "almighty steve" has spoken [haha], they'll listen.

then again, they probably wont.

besides, where would bloop be without the drama, yo?

take care.
love,

Yeah but what if people say "Did you read DA and see what they said about you?" I just don't see how a diary like that is good for a diary site.

I did not even know there was such a thing...

[ceruleandolphin|0 likes] [|reply]


I DON'T REALLY GET THE SUBCOMMUNITIES IDEA, YO. LIKE PEOPLE CAN ALREADY MAKE COMMUNITY DIARIES AND ACCEPT AND KICK OUT WHOMEVER THEY PLEASE - IT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO ORGANISE. OR ARE YOU PLANNING ON MAKING A DIFFERENT SORT OF FEATURE? I'D THINK IT BEST TO JUST LET PEOPLE MAKE THEIR OWN SUBCOMMUNITIES AS THEY PLEASE, WITHOUT YOU OVERSEEING THEM. PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEMSELVES - THEY ALREADY SEE YOU AS A SORT OF DADDY/HEADMASTER FIGURE, IT SEEMS, IF THEY ARE COMING TO YOUR DIARY AND CRYING ABOUT DEAR ANON. OR DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A MORE PATERNALISTIC APPROACH TOWARDS BLOOP, SINCE YOU'VE CHANGED THE MAIN PAGE TO SUGGEST THAT IT'S MORE GEARED TOWARDS TEENS?

dear anon is ridiculous, which is why I don't read it. It's pointless.

And please, for the love of all you consider holy, DO NOT go forward with this sub-community thing. Like many before me have stated there is going to be MUCH more drama if we decide to segregate anymore.

[Beautiful LiesStar|0 likes] [|reply]


^^ HAHA - IF PEOPLE SAY 'DID YOU READ DEAR ANON AND SEE WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT YOU' IT IS PERFECTLY POSSIBLE TO REPLY 'I HAVE NO INTEREST IN DEAR ANON, NOR WHAT SOME ANONYMOUS PERSON SAYS ABOUT ME'. GOSH, YO - EVERYONE HAS THE CAPACITY NOT TO READ IT!

^^ I don't waste my time worrying about what people I don't even know have said about me. I care about what people actually have the guts to say to me... that matters much more!!

[SteveStar|0 likes] [|reply]

I don't think it would be a good idea. Some people would power trip and kick people out for the hell of it. Some fairness needs to be put down.

[Kyle's MomStar|0 likes] [|reply]

Steve I don't like the idea of sub-communities. I think it would just cause more problems and mayhem than we all ready have. Lets keep bloop WHOLE because that's what I love so much about it!

I think it would be a bad idea. we all need to learn to just get over it and deal with eachother. I don't like most of the ppl here but the friends I do have count and we shouldnt be divided over communities. the last thing we need is everyone going on a power trip because all of a sudden they think they are important and enforcing stupid ass rules and kick ppl out left & right. while its a cool idea. it spells disaster here at bloop.

[JuJu.Bean.♥|0 likes] [|reply]

would we all still be able to read everyone's diaries outside of our sub-community?

[StaRRyEyDSupRizStar|0 likes] [|reply]

^^ Starry eyed surprise: yes!

[SteveStar|0 likes] [|reply]

The whole community thing sounds cool but it might get out of had. I cant speak for everyone but i know some people who use bloop for personal reasons, just so they can rant about stuff that people they actually know shouldnt hear or dont care about. If you start moderating what people write it might get kinda hard to say what you are feeling.

[~~Purple Skye~~|0 likes] [|reply]

Having sub-communities is an interesting idea. I'm not sure if there are enough people on Bloop to make that work effectively though. I'd actually prefer some kind of segregation. We are all so on top of each other anyway - I actually think Bloop would benefit from some ''splitting up,'' but if factions form then that would sort of defeat the purpose.
