I joined an RP called outforblood-rp because it looked interesting and I wanted to see how John would grow being around all the characters. Despite what I heard I thought I’d give this rp a chance and not let anyone elses opinions cloud my own before it had formed.
At first it was a good rp. Not the most active but decent. Then I started to get anon hate. Some of the stuff they said was cruel and I would not say that to anyone or hope anyone to recieve it. ALL THE POSTS THIS/THESE ANONS SENT ARE ON MY BLOG AND MORE IN MY INBOX.
It kept coming and at first didn’t make a big deal out of it but then I noticed I only got it when I posted in the PRIVATE ooc chat, a side blog which is invite only and password protected by admins.
It was a player in the rp.
So I messaged the admins halebentderek and ressurected-reyes. Jan, who played Erica, I messaged on the main paige and did not seem at all bothered. Mell tried to blame a seperate group who I have no contact with and disregarded any and all evidence I showed her and then became nasty and short with me.
With nothing being done I traced ip to Orlando, New York and Germany that sent the hate and what happened when I told them?
I was kicked out for breaking the rules.
In this rp breaking the rules is trying to stop bullying and asking the admins for help.
I never once believed the bad things about the rp outforblood-rp , I never even cared for what everyone else (including some current members) told me but to see that you tolerate bullying and punish the victim only leads me to believe that the admins where involved in sending it or at least knew of it and just did not care in hopes to get me out.
I also just wanted to point out that the screenshots posted on the main look extremely doctored. They’ve been edited to hold three screenshots in one row — strategically downsized to make it harder for you to read. Not harder for you to read the conversation, but rather the text in the red.
Do you see this? It says Skype at the top. Even though they said that these are the kik screenshots. (x)
At first I thought this meant that the screenshots had been transferred through Skype. But it seems as though they used some sort of template incorrectly since they didn’t realize that the Skype watermark at the top was left twice in some screenshots, and once or not at all in others. In the screenshot above, I’ve shown the one Skype watermark caps. Here are the two and none watermarked caps.
Additionally, there is a black border on the side of the caps, but at the top (as posted by the main) the red runs along the entire 3-panel cap. This proves that there was at least some form of editing to at the very least place the screenshots next to each other.
This inconsistency is highly questionable — combined with the fact that the admins are depicted as friendlier and kinder in the screenshots posted from the main in comparison to those posted from the player in question’s blog.
Besides this, all 20 screencaps were taken at 9:15 PM. That’s a lot of screencaps for a maximum of 60 seconds, and there’s a 1/60 chance that they actually started taking screencaps the minute it turned 9:15. Just to break it down for you, 60/20 means that they took a screencap every 3 seconds. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried screencapping a conversation on the phone, but it definitely takes more than 3 seconds to scroll and stop where you last left off and begin again, and it’s even less likely that you can do it consistently 20 times in a row. What I’m trying to say is that the chances of the screencap’s timeframe being modified as per a template on Photoshop are more likely than being able to take 20 screenshots in a row at the right place on a kik conversation within 60 seconds (once again the chances they started capping as soon as it hit 9:15 PM are 1/60, so it’s really likely they had less than 60 seconds to take all the caps).
So yeah, just some things to keep in mind.
P.S. I just want to apologize for the low quality of these screenshots — I took the screenshots from the main, cropped them so that I got the individual cap, and then enlarged it to 300px in width so you can see the Skype watermark clearly.
Besides this, though, the admins had no right to kick out a member for receiving anon hate. They kicked out the member for “reaping the consequences of not following the rules” (x). After that, the admins say that the member “was not bullied in the roleplay” (x) although the numerous posts on the member’s blog (constantinejxhn) and screencaps prove otherwise.
