adminnie: hey everyone, how are we all? there have been some mega changes if anyone has noticed! you don't have to, just really proud of how everything looks. it's been a pretty relaxing couple of months despite a few situations along the way.
there are some changes to how i run this bot, as i have said to some people, the constant need to be here daily is rather draining honestly so if i'm not around... it isn't really a big deal. if you need me, you can have my discord or there is my admin account but otherwise, there will be days where i come and go as i please because we aren't paid to be here and it can be rather taxing. as some of you know, i am a full time uni student who also works and am a writer as well so living on bot isn't really something i can do.
there's also an issue with anons that i will address here and make it very clear: if you send hate on anon, you will be ignored! if you are over the age of 16 and send anonymous hate, you need to rethink your life choices. i know that i am not the only person who deals with this and we all just let it go and sit quiet rather than speaking up about it but frankly, this is getting to be ridiculous. if you have a problem with me, please just block me or tell me who you are so i can block you. simple.
anywho, onto the changes and notices! this post will be placed in the 'important notices' post for future reference.
tag list: the tag list will get updated at the start of every month. if you do not interact at all over that month or always blank reblog then you will be removed from the tags and not placed back on. this is because i do not want to clog up your notifications with things you don't want to see and while blank reblogging sometimes is fine - always makes me feel like i'm annoying you. also likes will not be counted as interactions as some people have mains that aren't bots and i don't know who you are. if you want to be added or removed (also not tagged in nsfw posts) or tagged in a specific person's posts ONLY, please let me know.
selective interaction: something i have noticed is that people will tag a heap of bots but then only choose to interact with a select few or have made their bot for someone else. while i don't mind, people can do what they want, and do like to create friendships - it is a little frustrating when you interact with someone who ignores you or find a bot interested only to find out it's made for someone else. please do not tag me. this is purely to not waste either of our times and so i do not annoy people with spamming their notifications.
discord server: i have made a private discord server for bots to talk outside of rp and for casual style talks. this is optional for people if they want to use it as it is a good way to talk and learn about each other outside of dms and dash/asks. you can opt in and out at any time.
relationships: these do not develop overnight and take time to grow, some muses more than others. while this bot does have poly/open relationships, this does not mean you have to force yourself to date someone if you are not comfortable - there are chances where the muse may change depending on certain situations. also, open relationships mean the muse will engage sexually with other people after discussing rules with a confirmed romantic partner; if you are still in the interest level then the muse may (or may not) be talking to other people but this does not mean you need to speak to the other person or need to be aware of them until things progress. you are allowed to end things at any time but so am i. poly relationships simply mean that they may have more than one romantic partner, you do not need to be romantically involved or even talk to this person. all relationships are 1:1 and exist outside of each other as time moves differently on bot and the only time it may co-exist is during a plot which is often discussed with people involved.
time does affect things especially if you are gone for an extended period of time as i will only put bots who are in monogamous relationships on a semi-hiatus in which they spend that time with their partner so it doesn't affect their relationship.
interactions: dash interactions are important to me and my muses to develop relationships but i do try and work with people. if dash isn't overly important to you, please let me know so then i can adjust but if the muse you talk to posts and you do not interact, it will reduce the amount of posts they put out. i do try and send asks when i can especially if people also rely on dash for developing relationships but if dash isn't important to you or you don't reciprocate then this will affect that as well.
dms: i do have a schedule for dms but i will state this - i am not going to be able to reply all the time. that is just a general idea of when i will respond and sometimes i might respond outside of that. putting pressure for me to have to reply when i may not be in the right headspace or pretty busy to do dms is unfair and i wouldn't do it to you so please don't do it to me.
hiatus: if you are going on hiatus, please let me know via message. while i don't mind at all - a heads up is always nice.
now, i understand that's a lot to take in so again, this post will be put into the 'important notices' post but i do want to make clear that these are important!!!
for those who i currently have a chat open with, i have messaged earlier in the month. i will be messaging again on the 31st (my time so 30th for most other people) to figure certain things out. if i do not hear back from you within a week of this message, i will check to see if you are on hiatus - if not, then a message ending the chat will be sent. if you want to restart - message admin within a week to discuss otherwise you will not be able to get things back at all.
