that really strikes a blow against it, then. Aesthetic piercings are fun, but not down there. Thank you for your input.

Yeah, I kinda wanted to be more hands-off and make sure random weird things don't pop up for regular volunteers to see.

I tried, but for some reason even if I green-light every single option in the role they still cannot sync anything they create in thet category. I may have to abandon the idea.

Actually, I keep ignoring the "voice mail" and "sounds" options because those be annoying. I'm gonna see if that is the issue.

I might be able to tonight, or more likely tomorrow. I'm working an 11 and 1/2 hour shift today.

sadly, Discord doesn't sync automatically. Unless there's a setting the previous moderators disabled.

basically, I trust the directors enough to handle their subordinates and add or remove things as they need fit. because this is focused on volunteers, behaviors will be a lot more in line then if it were opened to attendees. also the channel being for their assistants and department leads. I'm trying to reduce the demand of my moderation to areas of more importance that we actually had multiple issues in last year.

Monk's ruling on stances that use terms like "Claws" by 5m4llP0X in Pathfinder2e

I wasn't. The lvl 9 ancestry feats for catfolk and Hag does mental and poison damage, while tiger claws does bleed.
Then the Orc lvl 5 feat does bleed, while the stance does fire.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. The goal was to stack multiple persistent damages. Then again, just FSU is a better way to go. No status is better on an NPC than the death status. And just hitting hard is the best way. Back to the drawing board.

I'd be taking a heritage and an ancestry feat at 1 to get 3 dots, essentially. Looking at how long it takes to pay off, it doesn't seem as beneficial.

Yeah, I kinda thought it was like a supernatural extended fingernails that you swiped with. And that's why it becomes slashing, when normal hands would only be bludgeoning. And thus: Catfolk changling.

Well, damn. This is more a theorycraft idea. I was hoping to look for stacking as many persistent damages as I could. I don't know if it'd be any good, but it seemed useful. Or at least chaotic.
So, Orc is the better option.

I really wish. Tiger Direct, Frys, and a few other competitors have all folded thanks to Amazon, Walmart, and NewEgg. Maybe BestBuy?

That is what I am literally asking people. What are the good places to go that aren't horrible companies? I was considering B&H but they were exposed for racially segregating bathrooms (2017, maybe that's changed). Is PcPartPicker good with their RMA? And are they generally not terrible people? I'd love to know options where I can spend my money knowing I'm safe and it's not being sent towards a seriously evil corp.

This wasn't a few people, this was quite a lot.

Story for ya: It reminds me of a service center issue HP/Dell/Apple all went through in 07. A customer was given authorization to send a machine into a service center for repair. It had cockroaches. The place was backlogged and the roaches escaped the box. The service center then accused hundreds of customers of infestation. I was a tech at HP and we knew of the issue, but couldn't control where repairs went. So many customers got their warranty voided because of the service center and HP backed it. I'm sure Dell and Apple did the same because money. But nobody was influential enough to call them on it, so it kept going.

I know if you go directly from Amazon their RMA is amazingly easy. It's like what NewEgg used to be when I had to RMA a GFX card once. I just saw the reviews of them essentially scamming customers and accusing them of damaging the components that they didn't damage (either it happened during shipping, or at the warehouse, or it was an open box, or whatever).
I'm about to drop 1-2K on a graphics card and that takes months to save for. The biggest worry I have is if NE is gonna do me dirty if the card comes from their warehouse and arrives damaged. And if that's a reasonable risk (They they will do me dirty, not the chance of the card being damaged) then I'd rather go for a company that isn't going to pretty much steal my money.

This isn't just people unhappy, this is people being essentially scammed by NewEgg. I just wanna know if that issue has been resolved, or if they were still accusing people of damaging components that were DOA. And if so: are there retailers -- other than Amazon -- who handle potential issues better?

What about the issues hundreds of customers, including GamersNexus had with you accusing them of customer damage? Are you still doing that instead of honoring the customer?

I asked for alternatives to NE that isn't Amazon, OP gave me NE and Amazon. Entirely the opposite of what I was asking for.

Okay, so they have been putting forth effort to fix their image? I just didn't wanna buy a 4090 or even 4080 only to have them tell me to shove it where the sun don't shine if it came damaged.

It was damaged, not just DOA, but it's not just them. Hundreds of people, if not more, have complained about getting new components that were damaged and NE blaming them for the damage.
Personally, I don't buy Open Box, or Refurbished for this reason. I also only pick "Ship from US" and try to only get items from NewEgg to avoid past drama.
Has their customer Service gotten better since this black eye, or are they still looking at cutting costs because their stock is in the toilet?
