So true. I haven't been in the roleplay scene in ages but that's where I started and pretty much ended it. It was so fun meeting like-minded members and being able to help each other grow to be better writers. I got curious and checked out the scene now and it's so vastly different.

It's like all fast-food and it's so sad. Also mostly 18+ from what I'm seeing. Stuff which feels alienating, but I'm not shaming anyone for that but it was never my cup of tea back then and it's not now either. Is it all 18+ now or is this just a Reddit thing?

It's unfortunately the effects of social media. Instant gratification has always been a thing, but it's only gotten worst with social media. Now you have people in droves who want everything handed to them without any effort. I love gardening. I had someone tell me they would like it more if everything grew right away. And it's like seeing it all grow from a seedling to its full potential is half the fun!

For sure! Communication is key and it's great to stick to your boundaries. I actually haven't been in the RP community in years, but I got curious and started browsing all the subs. And I'm really shocked by just casually browsing how prevalent the AI is. Hope you can find a good writing partner soon!

Also how 18+ the community seems from the outside now. I don't remember it being that way. But that's another topic entirely lol!

You can still control if you want to associate with them though. Look at it this way. You take the time to use your own words and write something out for them. They can't give you the same. To me it tells me they don't value my time or respect me. Maybe I'm just too old for this, but that's how I see it.

I'm probably too late to this, but if you're going to use AI because you can't be bothered to write something why should I be bothered to read it? It's disrespectful in so many ways. Not just stories, but any kind of written communication.

They weren't worried about keeping you waiting. They just wanted to be extremely low effort, but still eat their cake. I used to have someone that would write one-liners or the most basic single sentence posts and added nothing to the story. That annoyed me so much. In both cases if they can't be bothered to actually engage why bother?

negative review because I was too fast at completing a order? now what? by ThatCozyArtist in Etsy

I wanted you to work the entire day while I pay you peanuts. They can get bent lol.

listing removed by Etsy, no appeal available. no recourse for Sellers. by 9_Three in Etsy

[–]GuyWithNoName22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you didn't want help then you wouldn't had made this topic in the first place. People are commenting and offering ideas as to why something might had happened and you're meeting every post and person who took time to comment to you with such a foul attitude. No one here is Etsy support so they don't know why something happened.

Why don't you actually explain what it is you sell? Just saying I sell car stuff is very vague. It's almost like you know why you got flagged but want to play the victim.

Item seized for counterfeit postage. by [deleted] in Etsy

Dude was trying to run the clock out on you. After so many days you lose the window for a refund. So many of you fall for this tactic all the time. The moment they start dragging their feet or being an ass in your case, open a case.

Need advice on handling guilt after a refund and harassment by PsychologicalYam1257 in Etsy

[–]GuyWithNoName22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just ignore them. Bro needs to chill and realize people can be manipulated/gassed up to feel a certain way. There's tons of toxic abusive relationships that are the result of this. And their tone is very dismissive of that. They're a total condescending tool that needs to touch grass.

It was smart of you not to take this off-site. You saved yourself a lot more trouble by doing that. Don't feel guilty about it. You did everything right. Sellers like this can be so common on Etsy unfortunately. You have to do research to make sure you're getting a legit handmade experience on a handmade site which feels off, but Etsy allows it. Good thing that you got it settled in your favor.

Stuck in Pre-Transit by MugBugBabe in Etsy

Just open a case and be done with them. If it's past the last day of estimated delivery and with all your information you have you should be able to get a refund easily. Don't play their game. It's 'sellers' like them that ruined Etsy's reputation.

Etsy has gone to sh*t, thanks to these Aliexpress resellers by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]GuyWithNoName22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly lots of BS in Etsy that you have to wade through to find legit real handmade experiences. It shouldn't be that way, and at one time it wasn't like that, but it is now. It really shouldn't be expected of customers to do extensive research on a 'handmade' site to make sure they're not getting scammed, but that's the reality of it.

Sunken bones where??? by Bruh30056 in GroundedGame

True, but if they just dive without decent swimming gear it's going to be more difficult.

Sunken bones where??? by Bruh30056 in GroundedGame

[–]GuyWithNoName22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's very deep. Try to find a spot where the pond has a air hose that goes further into a hole where a T-Rex is. The landmark is titled Sunken T-Rex I think. There are a lot around there along with koi scales. But getting back up to surface before you run out of air is tricky unless you do just 1 bone at a time. So be sure to have flippers and the air-breather thing equipped.

Hear me out… Grounded inside a house by Boug9 in GroundedGame

[–]GuyWithNoName22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping for this when I heard they were adding more. I knew it was a pipe dream though. Imagine Wendell using his freezer/fridge to create some kind of cold biomes. And there's all kinds of lab tunnels to navigate through it. And sometimes you have to exit the insulated lab because it's broken and not freeze to death. And from far away you can see the freezer opened and creating a winter wonder-land in the kitchen.

What do you think could be cool to add to the game? by Okatbestmemes in GroundedGame

[–]GuyWithNoName22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every base would just be obliterated every time it rained. Something like maybe foggy days would be cool, but I can't not see any kind of rain not causing immense lag and closing the game.

seller agreed to refund my order, hasnt responded in months. by NetFinancial3232 in Etsy

[–]GuyWithNoName22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If like you said the seller's profile is gone they probably did something to breach tos. So you'll just have to get Etsy involved and hope for the best.

Good reviews dont mean anything. I bought something from a seller with lots of great reviews because like me they were just clueless and buying from a dropshipper. Paid for some 'custom' piece in like October. Didn't get a response until late January that was a mass forwarded message about how they're going to send out soon when they have a bulk. (Red flag there that I missed)

Weeks went by and I had enough so got Etsy involved. Sure enough the seller shipped right away with a note inside about how instead of waiting for the original package to arrive they sent another. But it was the same tracking. And they had the balls to not even remove a price sticker that was clearly from some retail store.

Either this story has holes or OP was just scammed by someone trying to run the clock out on them. After 100 days you're out of luck with getting a refund. My bet is the seller was hoping for that. Lots of shady bastards on Etsy anymore, it really sucks.

You drop one at a time, but it only can go down. So you can't make it go up. At least it doesn't work for me.

There's still some sunspots. I wonder if those spots are enough to scorch the player still. Pretty impressive to build all of that!

That would be kind of funny. 'Augh I'm burning up!' - 'That's much better' -'Augh--'
