I was there during the entire discussion. The conversation was respectful and there were no personal attacks. There was only one comment by bronko regarding a in-game avatar. I am posting a comment by killjoy with his permission below, which I agree.
Readers can decide if this is in any way personal attack or not.
Rosie, now I am talking to you directly. We typically don’t call something “favor” when the party is asking for money. We call it service. When there is a service there is a price associated with it. The consumer decides if the price is right or not. Then the consumer can choose to purchase the product, or not, or can negotiate a lower price. That’s how real world works.
In the discord conversation that’s how the discussion went. If you like to disagree be my guest. We are used to discord drama and hive blockchain drama.
Totally agree would love to know why Rosie is trying to play a victim. She should've quoted and provided screenshots of where she felt she was being personally attacked.
People were just giving honest feedback about the proposal and she couldn't take it it seems. I guess the way they said it could've been in a better tone and maybe not sound so brutal? Anyways I'm sure most people know the feedback was for her to improve and refine her proposal not sure how she took it as a personal attack.
im feeling bullied by you when you writing a comment and i need to read it while having this profile-Picture attached to your account! it discriminates all other profile pictures that don't look so great.
dont we have other problems? 😂
Exactly!
And it's not just you. Many people feel bullied the moment I start writing any comments. Even if the comment is "thank you and have an excellent day" :)
🤣
ouch, hence I feel guilty - not in that case but probably during 50% of my conversation with ladies - might be a US thing to feel sexually harassed pretty soon right? pffff - that is kindergarten or totally a new culture to me then - confused indeed even I like the thinking of the proposal
I kept my mouth shut in mav even with temptation to talk shit. If that was offensive, then the internet is not a wise place to be as you will probably be miserable.
Also, every time I play Roblox with my kids, it bugs me how ever avatar on there is obsessed with wearing shorts or skirts so short that in real life they would be exposing people. As a parent, I teach my kids dress their avatars respectfully. It is a game for children.
I would respond with this: I think there's a reason you don't have many women talking in that Discord. I don't see anyone else talking about their looks in regards to a proposal and whether or not someone's wearing pants. It had nothing to do with the proposal and was unacceptable. In the Roblox world, you are banned from the gaming platform for that behavior. Here it seemed to be acceptable. I don't have to stick around and take that kind of trash talk. I'm a lady who deserves respect for taking the time to put out a proposal and I should have been taken seriously, not addressed about my pants. It's just immature and silly.
That post, however, was actually NOT the only time there was harassment, but I'm not going to find it for you as that would be foolish on my part and opens me up to more criticism. If you're that interested, you'll take the time to find it, but you're not, so no worries.
As I've said in the post above that perhaps you missed because it is a long post, it was not the harassment as much as it was the lack of stopping it that astounded me.
As far as about how customer and service works, etc. I'm a businessman's daughter. We live by a saying: "The customer is always right." The thing is, you're not the only customer. You are definitely allowed to say you won't be voting for it. However, to then go personal and say you will make sure no one votes for it is very petty. If you do believe that the customer gets to decide, then let the customer decide without feeling the need to bully them into deciding. Why feel the need to DEMAND no one votes for the proposal? An open discussion would have been much more fruitful and beneficial, regardless if the proposal passed.
I fully expected a discussion regarding the proposal. I did expect people not to understand the Roblox side of things, because they are limited in their experience but it seemed to trigger people that they didn't understand it so then a discussion wasn't possible. Rather, they were aggressive and rude instead of inquisitive.
Another point to consider is this: the customer is always right, but the business owner has the right to close shop as well. I would have been working day and night to accomplished what was asked and I would have happily done so for the customer if that customer wanted it. I definitely don't take it personally if the customer doesn't want the product. That is their choice and loss in my opinion. Please feel free to find someone else who would have as much heart and soul to spread the good news of Splinterlands for as little as was asked.
If I was the only one saying this proposal was a good idea, then maybe your response would have more merit, but as you can see, there are others who also agree with me, and I didn't use the weight of my money to entice them to say it, and I didn't bully them to say it. They have the freedom to speak their mind as you do, but to discount other people because they disagree with your view means no discussion is happening. No questions are being asked. No learning is occurring. I believe every day is a day to grow and learn to improve one's self.
Good luck to you and your ventures. I hope you will come up with some good ways to get Splinterlands known in a positive way with 1 billion impressions for less than 100K. :) This proposal isn't about me-- it should be about the success of Splinterlands. People wanted to make it personal and as I also wrote in the blog, I am a single mother who will not be stalked or attacked. I just exit the conversation. I will support any proposal, even one that is different than mine, if it is getting eyeballs to Splinterlands and building a positive community. It's clear we need that. Again, we all win here when Splinterlands wins.
If you are a business, you are free to close shop at any time you wish. You are also free to not allowing someone within your premises.
You see I can call this a personal attack to me. But I won't :)
Here is a fact. In the US, and elsewhere in the world, there is a thing called lobbying. I am a majority stakeholder. Not only I can vote the way I choose to vote. I am allowed to influence others on how they vote. This is very transparent process and public knowledge. If you are unaware, I am making you aware. This is the way decentralized governance work. It may or may not be your cup of tea. In that case choose NOT to participate.
it has to do with the proposal, it is your avatar in roblox, with the avatar with which you have built the supposedly existing community. the avatar with which you would promote splinterlands. you want to promote splinterlands in a children's game with such a half-naked character. and freak out when you say something about the character ?
it doesn't get much more unprofessional than that. there would be heaps of bad bad comments if you were to advertise the game. if you freak out at a question like that. how would you then chase away potential customers....`
do i need to remind you that you even made a post about symbols in tower defense? but talking about the avatar you use to promote splinterlands is taboo? 🤣
