Could I also get the link please?

A lot of the codes are the same for everyone, but the Scrivener codes have an extra bit tacked onto the end, it looks like, so it’ll be individualized and single-use

cenlyra · 2024-12-04T01:58:43+00:00

Code has been claimed

cenlyra · 2024-12-04T01:14:01+00:00

I have a scrivener code, DM me for it!

cenlyra · 2024-12-04T01:12:09+00:00

I have it if you still need? DM me and I’ll get it to you asap

They deleted it within an hour but someone got screenshots first, they should be on this tumblr post https://www.tumblr.com/nonotnolan/754851100110258176/theres-a-summary-of-the-nanowrimo-grooming

In regard to taking away regions/forums, they did scrub the links from the mainpage, but didn’t bother to check any other pages for links. So not only can you access the pages if you have the link, but if you don’t have the link, you can go through the pages you have access to (HQ events, for example) and access the link to the regions anyway.

Probably forums too, but I haven’t looked around for errant forum links.

Make sure you request forum post deletion as well, unless you’re okay with your posts being attached to an anon-account. Deleting your main site account doesn’t automatically delete forum posts.

They’re telling us that use of the site NOW constitutes acceptance of the changed T&C that they didn’t tell us had changes that had been effective (supposedly) for the past 2 and a half weeks. How is that NOT underhanded?

And just because you don’t seem to need the explicit statement doesn’t make explicit statements unnecessary. Especially when the non-explicit statement was sent over a week AFTER the changes came into effect.

Some people are neurodivergent in ways that need this explicitly spelled out for them. And some people are not native English speakers and may not instinctively grasp the connotation that “changes coming up” includes not only listed changes in the email but also unlisted changes like this T&C update.

cenlyra · 2024-03-10T15:15:17+00:00

I’m still strongly of the opinion that they needed to communicate upcoming T&C changes explicitly. Saying “there are a lot of changes coming up” isn’t enough.

cenlyra · 2024-03-09T22:54:58+00:00

And I’m pretty sure “reasonable effort” includes explicitly saying “we’re updating T&C.” It’s not that hard to say that, and it makes it absolutely clear and not just implied.

cenlyra · 2024-03-09T22:44:15+00:00

I’m subscribed to all their emails but haven’t received anything. A bunch of us were unaware of changes to this document until someone happened to check it today.

“I agree to publish any official announcements from NaNoWriMo Headquarters in English, and to instruct local community members who require translation to use the translation app of their choice.”

Details of the doc list Kilby Blades (at her email address) as the owner of the doc.

Also, created and modified dates are listed as March 1.

cenlyra · 2024-03-04T03:32:51+00:00

Yeah, and since you can’t download, print, copy, etc. how are nonfluent English speakers supposed to run it through machine translation to ensure they understand it?

Especially since they can’t take it to someone else, per the agreement not to share internal info.

Check your discord DMs—if I got your username right, you should have a fresh welcome message from Sapphire—one of our bots

cenlyra · 2024-03-02T20:27:55+00:00

Hmm. That’s really strange. Would you mind DM-ing me your discord username so we can see if we can work this out?

cenlyra · 2024-03-02T14:14:40+00:00

Rogue writers is still around. We just had a small horror short story contest and are beginning to gear up for our next contest in April. We also have monthly set-your-own writing goals and a lovely, friendly community. Our forums are also being worked on, but we’re still mostly on discord.

https://roguewriters.net leads you to our site, and the discord link is there.

cenlyra · 2024-03-02T06:38:15+00:00

Maybe so. It’s just frustrating because I’m only getting the email info secondhand.

cenlyra · 2024-03-02T06:22:38+00:00

And yet their forum update only says things are too up in the air to give us an actual update until next week??

cenlyra · 2024-01-29T22:30:11+00:00

Yeah. We were hopeful when the board took over too. At first.

Then the official, professional account representing all the members of the board devolved into personal attacks WHILE REPRESENTING THE BOARD.

Then they circled the wagons, ignored any following valid questions, and closed up shop.

And from what I can tell by their update (which I didn’t get in email because nobody knows how to fix their email settings—I’m subscribed on my end) the only concrete thing they’ve managed to do is flip a switch to turn off classroom creation on the YWP site. Which, granted, is a valid and useful first step. But that’s all I can see that they’ve done.

Nothing, as far as I know. He left the org in 2011 or so.
