Growing concerns with Telegram as the primary chat for SE community

[BlanketEffect]

Wow. What a nice way to say f* off we run it now. I don't see a reason for opposing an official room provided (that is, if you want to have a civilized discussion).

This thread's OP has no history with Caitlyn or A1. And only A1 now seems to hold a grudge since you guys keep repeating it and RS has never mentioned any history between us up to this point in this thread.

And above is not an RS member's point of view.

Okay, it's a non RS point of view - a view that basically says it's Cat's show, and if you don't like it there are a million free rooms you can create.

It's not about saying "fuck off". You guys wanted Jack shit to do with Telegram when we wanted to get it rolling, and instead, went off and did your own thing with RS. I bear none of you any animosity for that, as I'm sure anyone who's ever heard me speak on the matter will attest.

However, we DID then revitalize the SE online community from a cobweb-ridden chat platform that is almost never active, and because of it, dozens, if not scores now regularly chat and interact.

It's a private room, hosted by a private person, joined individually by the members of said community. They always have the option to not participate in that unfair room that they joined of their own free will in the first place.

Someone has to moderate what little amount of moderation should be done. Perhaps Cait's room is too strict for some people's tastes; I don't fault them - they are free to start their own Telegram (or IRC) channels and get 150+ members to join up. Have at it and good luck.

The only reason anyone has anything to complain about the way the Telegram room run is because it was GIVEN to them to use in the first place. Feel free to give it back. In case you hadn't noticed, there IS no official Wulven anydamnthing, let alone an official mod for ONE self-promoted and grown chat application room.

We get it, some people didn't like it. When droves of members start abandoning the SE General Chat room because they don't like the way it's administered, I'm sure Cait's smart enough to respond appropriately. Until then, this is the whiny and frivolous complaints of a VERY tiny minority.

Hey, that sounds familiar, now that I think about it... Meh, worked last time

Most people left cause they didn't know how to turn off notifications. I find this hilarious.

If you aren't clever enough to figure it out, or at least have the sense to ask someone how to do it, there's no love lost. This is the age of Google; you literally only have to type in "how do I turn off notifications in Telegram". Can't do that? Then there's no hope for you; make way for your grandchildren.

Don't know how to work your phone? Prolly shouldn't have that phone; same reason you don't buy a 16 year old a Ferrari - they don't know how to use it. Don't buy a Galaxy S6 when you really need to be getting fitted for a Pantech Breeze.

Wulven has promoted the Telegram group, but we don't run it or moderate it ourselves. Likewise, we sponsor player-run tournaments but leave it up to the tournament organizers to handle the details.

However, we do run and moderate these forums, so be sure to follow the Code of Conduct here. Play nice, pups.

Seriously, we have one obnoxious kid, one rude guy, a couple of bad breakups and a handful of cheaters.

We're tamer than a 1994 posh English boarding school 8th grade class book club. The week they read a Babysitters novel.

hey, we are motivated enough to video the movement of tectonic plates using a high speed camera. want to make sure we catch all the action.

...I think it is a pretty good thing that the community is that peacefully. And TG helped a lot increasing the interactions - making communication more "comfortable". I just have doubts TG will stay like this and not take the same route as FB eventually...

Troll alert.

Perfect example Mrs. spit
Your point being what?

I was agreeing with your in a sarcastic way. I'm sorry if you felt I was trolling you that wasn't my goal
