PROBLEMS/SUGGESTIONS

[enablemeplz]

If anyone crosses the line or there's some other issue or suggestion you want to leave, comment here.

NOTE: I live in PST. On Saturdays I sometimes work day shifts or do things when I'm off, where I don't get home until a pretty reasonable time of 5-6 pm in the evening. If I don't get to the post before I go out, I will make sure I post it when I'm home. If it's a rare day I work evening shift, and don't have time to post it before my shift, the post may go up super late (in which case I don't mind people poking to make sure it's going up.)

I have a recurring entry on google calendar that sends me reminders to do the post. Guaranteeing a set day but a flexible time the post goes up will allow me to reliably post EMP basically forever, regardless of my RL situation. As such, I will no longer be answering "will the post go up?" questions unless it's past 10 PM EST. After that, I'll let people know what's up if I'm running late. (Or act on the reminder if I forgot).

Can I suggest migrating the time of the month that EMP gets posted?

These days, most TDMs seem to be going up about midmonth, and apps are either nearly closed or closed by the time EMP goes up on its usual schedule, which means trying to lure people into games where there's a month's wait before they can hope to play in game.

I sincerely hope I'm not bothering you, but I'm a little new to this community. Is the July meme going to go up soon (close to the 2nd Saturday like it did last month) or is it going to go up on the last Saturday like it says it will in the community info?

This person has left 3+ replies that are a copy/paste of a word for word ad. I've seen them do this on previous EMPs. It's gotten to the point where I know at least a few people uncomfortable posting FF7 muses up because they know they'll be spammed with this spam that isn't individualized at all.

Hello, I hope you're doing all right! Will EMP still be going up this evening? No worries if you have IRL stuff to attend to, of course, the fact that you're doing this for the DWRP community at all is much appreciated.

Could we maybe not refer to games as "ADHD games" in ads? I feel like poking fun at a disorder like that is in pretty poor taste.

[(Anonymous)]

If I can make a suggestion - can there be a category for 'invite only' games?

Running late?

hello! is the meme going up tonight? or will it be next week since it's so early in the month?

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, just checking if the post was supposed to go up yesterday or if I'm just dumb. Hope all is good!

[(Anonymous)]

Hope I'm not being a bother by asking if you forgot or not!

It's Sunday now, so I'm wondering when the November EMP will go up.

Hey EMP Mod, there's a situation that might be worth bringing to your attention about a player called firebenderjess @ plurk.

She was banned from Bakerstreet and another anon did a much better post collecting pastebins than I could there: https://bakerstreetmods.dreamwidth.org/438.html?thread=493238#cmt493238

Hey!

Could we please ask players not to use coding like this?

Thank you.

Hope all is well, just checking in since it's nearing midnight est and it's one of those weird months where the 2nd Saturday is early. Take care!

hope all is well!

I'm not the anon who mentioned it in the thread, but could we severely limit or ban this kind of over the top coding here? https://enablemeplz.dreamwidth.org/49199.html?thread=12670511#cmt12670511

Hey, will the meme be going up today? I know it's an early second Saturday, so I wanted to check!

Hey mod! I wanted to make a suggestion about an alternate category for PSL ads. I think it would be pretty cool to have an option to post them by interests rather than by canons.

As it is, the current way of things puts a heavy emphasis on canons. But wouldn't it better if the interests and rp preferences were the emphasis? Finding someone who wants to play the same kind of stuff as you can be so much more exciting than finding a castmate who has zero interests in common.

This new PSL Offers thread could have [Desired Tropes] / [Desired Types of Scenarios] in the header, and then as usual people can list what characters they have on offer in the ad itself. I'm not suggesting it as a replacement for the current system, but as an alternative for people who do not particularly care to find castmates. It would also be a more friendly way for people who primarily play OCs or obscure canon to advertise for PSLs, as the current system isn't very friendly towards them.

I hope you'll consider the idea, and thank you for your time!

Thank you for doing this every month. It's such a valuable service for the DWRP community. Who even knows how many thousands of stories and human connections you've facilitated by maintaining this.

My suggestion is to take a moment to reflect on how many lives you've touched simply by providing a place players can find each other. ❤️

sorry to be a bother! but i'm curious if emp will go up tonight?
