come take a look before fallin at my feet. all i'll ever know is life up on a throne
I'm always always playing League so I dunno if that counts since I've never left it lol nothing riot has ever done has really made me want to quit. The game being patched and evolving is just part of it and what keeps it interesting to me 

Overwatch I play occasionally. This is the one my fiance goes back and forth on so whenever he's feeling it I'm down to play.

But I go back to GW2 for nostalgia and then play for a while before I get sad that all of my friends haven't logged in in years. I even tried a new account for a super fresh start but it just doesn't hold the same feeling ):

What it boils down to is: respect the public setting of a chat and respect peoples' boundaries. Some people aren't comfortable with being flirted with, others are probably in a relationship irl, and then there's some who don't believe in online romantic relationships. On top of that, public chats are, well, public. It not only reflects on you, but it reflects on the site as a whole, giving the impression that the staff is fine with something like that happening.


^^^ This is honestly how I feel about this. All I'd on to this particular point is also that if you're actively flirting with someone you're in a relationship with in a public space where other people are trying to talk to one another/be in the conversation, it's just not cool. Go talk to each other in your own private chat. I've RP'D with a boyfriend before and while we'd flirt a little in chat, it was nothing more than playful banter you'd do with your friends that you knew and nothing more than a few lines. Taking over a cbox or discord is disrespectful to everyone else there. Take it to a personal chat. Even now, I'll be in raids/game groups that include my fiance where we're in a public space with other people - if I wanna say something to him not game-related or flirt, it's done in whispers. It's disrespectful to insert your relationship into places it doesn't belong.


AS FOR the original post. I have actually dealt with this as the person who was getting flirted with and made it clear that it was not reciprocated and not welcome. I think it is DEFINITELY defined as harassment and I think you handled it well and appropriately. I think if it happens again, a temporary ban from the server is perfectly acceptable.

In my case, we had met on the site and did most of our talking on the site's cbox. He added me on MSN (wow im really dating myself here) and his conversations started to get more flirty and unwanted. I told him no/this is unwanted any time he would say anything too flirty or inappropriate to me and it continued to happen multiple times. I started ghosting him in private chats because of it. He started talking like that into the site cbox whenever I was around and one day the head admin happened to be there. She saw me say something like "please don't talk to me like that" or "you're making me uncomfortable". She immediately hopped in and said something like "this is not appropriate behavior. you did this even after she said this. do it again and I'll have to issue you a temporary ban." She also then IMMEDIATELY followed up with me on MSN to ask me if this was a common occurrence and check to make sure I felt ok. She wanted to know how often he was bothering me, what kinds of things he was saying, and to please let her know if it happened again. Apparently, he had been bugging other female members on the site too and making them uncomfortable. So it's not always people not knowing "how to read a room". It can definitely happen intentionally and I think to treat it that way after a first warning is entirely within rights as an admin. Your site is supposed to be a safe space for people to be in and your discord server or cbox is an extension of that. If a member is being "flirted" with and doesn't want it and makes that clear, I feel like it is the responsibility of the staff team to help fix th situation. Sure, the person can try to fix it privately - but if they've already made it clear it's unwanted in public the situation probably isn't gonna change in a private chat - and they can also block them (which isn't available in things like shoutboxes or cboxes). But that person will still be there and around and just their presence can start making people uncomfortable if the behavior isn't checked.

nose boop..............

hi there i'm lychee!!! i've been around as different aliases for a loooong time but life has been super crazy stressful for me the past couple years so i've only been a lurker. everything has chilled out a bunch recently though!! so i am back and ready to terrorize around.

i'm 22 years old and i live with my fiance and our doggo in northern NY. i spend a lot of time outside with my baby girl because she likes to sniff every 3 inches. even if we literally just walked by there.... she's gotta sniff again... what if it changed?? if i'm not on the computer tagging people in dog pictures it's because i'm outside with her, with her on a puppy playdate, or at work.

i like to spend my time watching the food network, sleeping, making icons i'll never use but forget to post (i swear i'm gonna post them when iconic opens...), or reading.

idk that's me i'm bad at intro threads who wants more of my dog instead

some when she was a pupper


it's been too hot here
