Hi!
CherAmi is currently down, and TT is investigating as to why. It should hopefully be up soon, but a timeframe will be given if it isn’t looking as if it’ll come up in the next couple of hours!
We’ll be doing our best to make sure information is kept updated on the Tumblr from now on so joining the Discord isn’t necessary. Thank you for your patience!

ttmiyh really needs to hire outside help for carrion too. looking through the websites code there are dozens of hygiene issues on data storage and infinite unboundeed loops if elements dont load. a very maximal security policy that allows p much everything from privacy sensitive content to fingerprint enabling or security impacting elements all to enable ads. all similarly broken because ads allow redrects without any proper verify. easily compromised data that would fuck over users on a supposedly privacy focused website. also some common sense stuff. css renders elements presumed safe without proper sanitization. css does not mitigate svg xss so imgs can balloon to huge sizes. no custom landing page or exit page on decline for age verify just redirects to google. this will fuck performance over as clutter p much becomes unmanageable and expensive on nyetwork resources especially for shittier devices. deprecated tags and elements like the marquee tag. obsolete. will cause accessibility issues. lacks any plan for future support. undefined variables are referenced which just defaults to transparency or more unbounded values. cache lifetimes are totally inefficient. all in all. website programming is hard. dont leave it to the ai fangirl slicking it to llm slop imgs lol.
yikeees this all sounds really bad. I'm glad I've not made an account despite the temptation just to see what they all doing over there.

So some first impressions of cherami.
-“What is cherami?” Doesnt tell you what the site actually is. Good luck using cherami if you aren’t familiar with cherp. Some one-time popups explaining things like lucky dip or psudonyms might be helpful
-oddly heavy emphasis on alternative accounts not being allowed. Uncertain as of why it matters enough to be a concern. It can’t be ban evasion, because moderators still enforce this if your original account is unbanned and will not terminate your original account if caught. It cant be prompt timer avoidance because if a duplicate-post filter is put in place then it wont be an issue, and if the filter isnt put in place then users could duplicate prompts on their original accounts anyways. Odd rule to be heavy handed about when the crime seems harmless, but it’s not experience-breaking i guess
-if there is a user block function, I cannot find it. Good thing strangers on the internet (especially ones you roleplay with) are always Kind and Normal and you would never need to block them. ❤️
This blog does not have an official stance on the new web site however as all mods clearly love drama and gossip, we have an official stance that the chaos on the discord server has been fun to do dramatic readings of.
I always love the paragraph of justifications that come before someone outlines what they're looking for on Cherp. "I don't condone this irl I just like messed up power dynamics this is obviously very very wrong blah blah blah etc" like shut UP it's literally fictional. We know. You are very sorry you like fictional content and you now have moral permission to RP guilt free, because you acknowledged that this fiction is Bad and would not be OK if it were not fiction. Does that help? Can you move on, pure of soul, and RP these characters having weird sex now?
I was wondering if when you asked for their discord or when you exchanged discords, they were also verified? Cherp rules are kinda confusing and contradictory in certain parts like when it says you can’t move off site unless all are verified, but then the next rule says no discord exchanges or any social media exchanges. So then how would we move off site? Is it even okay if all are verified, but then you can’t even drop your discord handle without being banned?
lmao thank you for reminding me abt all that shit with Cherp it's been so long since i checked up on it. For the record it's still the only place (online or irl) I've ever been permanently banned and I think it's a really funny example of how you can take an active IP with a built in user base and still manage to fuck it up by being so deeply unprofessional and toxic that you're not worth putting up with. Twitter wishes it could blow up like Cherp.
If you think the rules are confusing and contradictory now you should have seen them back in the day, Throughout Cherubplay's entire existence there was never a ban on off-site promotion or exchanges and Cherp's rules about when/how interaction are acceptable have been showing up piecemeal ever since. At the time i was permanently banned the website had recently updated their rules stating that exchanging information was liable for a week suspension. Another user and I (who told me they regularly requested discord usernames with no issues and was not suspended when I was) exchange discords, I log in the next morning, my account has been permanently removed.
I join their discord group and learn that in the discord they decided the rules are changing now and all information exchanges are a permaban, if you weren't in the offsite discord to know that then tough shit, you're still gone.
I went through most of the important people on the mod team trying to discuss this, most seemed pissed that I dare question their supreme judgement Reddit mod style. I'm not exactly surprised the types of personalities who ran and ruined old-school RP forums still exist in lots of nerd spaces. I remember specifically bringing up that at the time the rule I'd been perma'd for still showed up on the website as a max 1 week suspension, the response was "we can decide to ban you for any reason, go away."
Like yeah! You sure can do that! It also just makes you a raging asshole and the last person that should have a customer facing position in your team.
One day someone's gonna do a YouTube essay deep dive on all the random bullshit that happened with their donations/ID verification/etc. but my brief experience with the whole team made me feel like they were the last people you should trust your personal information with. Also I'm not saying I'm a cyber crimes expert but either the problems the site faced w the FBI were unique (in which case, what the fuck) or they were trumped up to cover their asses when they faced public pushback (in which case, what the fuck).
idk dude all i can say is that i hope one day the nerds get the roleplay site they deserve
me, writing a long paragraph about M/Cs overwhelming sadness and feeling of loss on cherp

Just announced in the server, Steve has parp.
