A call for feedback: Events selling 'services' on the RP Event Calendar

We've been getting a lot of push back over the years about events that exist to charge gil (or offer services for discord boosting) for host services, etc.  There is currently a hard ban for legal reasons on charging for ERP services as well, and we're getting more and more reports of 'services' being 'ERP services'. We've been asking about a number of RP communities and based on feedback we've been getting are considering removing events selling role-play.  ex:  (500k gil for a 30 min private RP session) and letting the calendar focus on things that are role-play for the sake of role-play.

However, I don't want to make this change in isolation as this will be the first actual change in policy for the event calendar in the last 3-4 years.  Any feedback would be welcome.   Either reply or email us at [email protected].

Holy shit I do not recognize this website anymore... is xKit still a thing?

If Kaito ever looks at you this way - fucking RUN.

I finally achieved my dream of owning a Cintiq, and this is the first drawing I've finished on it, a commission for my friend Ra'mele.

Finished my gift for @hannishrogue. Happy anniversary, babe!

My old person trait is that I think a website should work in a web browser and not try to open an app

The one thing I'll miss about Twitter is the fact that likes matter. I had the most engagement on my art ever over there out of any other social media platform. Still not a ton, but more than I've ever had here.

Anyway sorry to be a whiny bitch. I do really appreciate reblogs of my art though as I try to rebuild my social media life back over here.

i never left this website but in like a hotel california kind of way

hi xiv blogs, if you're new to tumblr here's some site etiquette tips to make you feel more confident posting:

you can turn off reblogs. you can do this by default or stop posts if they start to escape your intended audience. to do this, hit the top right cogwheel when editing the post. you can disable comments here, too.

the above is where you can alter the format of the post to make the font smaller or use gradient text (this has to be done through html).

community labels are the reason we have a slightly more lax nsfw policy now. please use the labels (the "everyone" tab is found next to the "post now" button).

we have tags and replies. please dont add your comment directly on the post, it's considered extremely rude and people will reblog around you for it.

tags are less reliable than twitter but they do work. muting tags also works.

turn off visible likes. go to your settings to access this and disable it.

blog rolls are a trap. no one is obligated to know your follows or likes.

block liberally. tumblr's block is really good and it's less invasive than twitter. curate your space and try to focus on the fun ok byeeeeeee

[akaruta-kaito]

OH NO THEY'RE HOT.

There have been many posts like this but my two cents for people coming here from twitter and who've never used this hell site (affectionate):

Reblog content, likes or replies don't do anything to spread the posts because there is no algorithm for your dash (THANK GOD)

You can make as many sideblogs as you want if you want to separate your interest so your followers from the hello kitty fandom aren't subjected gore and body horror (this is entirely up to you tho, there are both the people who throw all their posts on one blog and the people who have 4729 hyper-specific blogs)

Use tags for your ORIGINAL posts to show up in searches

You can also use tags to help organise your blog (you can search by said tag on blogs) and so people can filter them if they need to (ESPECIALLY triggers and spoilers - for these, try to use a generaly accepted tag and not something unique to you to make other people's lives easier)

Also put compliments and just ramble in tags if you want, overwhelming majority of creators read them and they make them stupid happy

On desktop, @new-xkit-extension is your best friend

Pornbots are tumblrs "looking for a part time job?" and they're a part of the package. Just report, block, and ignore

You can hide your likes and who you follow from people visiting your blog in user settings

You can also manage filtering, set if you want to see "sensitive" content (marked with community labels), notifications, if you want people to see if you're online, manage your blocklist and a bunch of other stuff in user settings - I recommend you take the time and look through everything in there

There is no spoiler/blur image option but you can use the read more/keep reading function (on mobile, just put :readmore: on it's own line)

One nice thing about coming back here is seeing the friends I’ve made in FF popping up. Idk how much I’ll use it, maybe I’ll try actually writing again like I was for a while back before I dropped Tumblr for Twitter.

[hannishrogue]

Oh dear sweet merciful Poseidon, how the fuck do I use this hellsite…

[malvalen-ooc]

Yeah I’m still trying to reacquaint myself. Idk what to even do here now.

[akaruta-kaito]

Might as well post my Kaito art here since we’re back to this.
