Thankfully I missed the worst of it, being AFK, but I was present through a little bit of that (mostly when silliness was going on, rather than trolling). And I can honestly say, it just felt like I was getting a constant spam feed from the shell. I do understand it's a social shell, but there is a difference between social and spam, and also, I believe not long before this conversation, a new member was welcomed to the linkshell? What kinda first impression was that?
In any case, I ended up muting the shell, problem solved, but that was before I found out just what I had missed, and upon learning, I did get pretty angry. I was rather close to leaving the shell. Seeing an online friend - especially Miyuki - treated like that just makes me appauled. In fact, if this happens again, I probably will drop out of intermission.
I'm still relatively new to the community. I've been here, what, two weeks? I do know that there are some really nice people here, and intermission was helpful in finding Aes Sedai Tower / Corvus Cinis, which is a pretty nice linkshell with some fun RP going on. But some of the things I've seen in intermission so far have balanced it out with negativity. It really is damaging my opinion of the RPC itself, and I really really don't want to believe that this sort of thing is typical here.
Now, I know the whole point of the linkshell was to be a social community-driven shell without strict leadership so that everyone gets a near-enough equal say, but from what I've seen, a little bit more policing needs to be done. There is a difference between community and anarchy, and occasionally, the shell does fall into the latter.
I'm not often one to complain - let people be people. However, if the happiness of someone I consider a friend is threatened, I will not sit quietly and idly. Before this, I was content in just letting the shell do its thing, no matter how much the language upset me personally. The shell needs more moderation, to help make it a safer, more friendly place, and also to make it that I don't have to use the profanity filter whenever I have the shell visible. Right now, it does not seem friendly. I do not feel safe, even with the profanity filter. And now, I feel I need to keep an eye out for the sake of my friends as well.
