hi everyone ! a now-deleted strongly worded anonymous vent was sent to the vent blog , sincerely-krp , along with screenshots of members’ personal conversations . i’ve asked sincerely-krp if i could be provided the source of this vent and these screenshots but was denied , as is their right under their blog’s rules . as such , i will give the sender of this vent and these screenshots until march 20 , 6 pm kst to come forward with proof that they were the one to send the vent otherwise i will take down the directory . i will absolutely not tolerate drama in a group that i run . i do not want to cultivate a culture among writers where you have to be wary of who you talk to , and afraid entire private conversations will be screenshotted , taken out of context and spread around without your consent . i do not know if the sender is still in the group , and i refuse to pour all the effort i do into a group where i have to constantly worry that someone has so little respect for the community and myself that they opt for hateful anonymous venting instead of seeking constructive solutions to help their community grow ; where i have to constantly worry that i’m leaving members vulnerable to being subject to this kind of behavior by having them stay in a group with this person . i want to thank the vast majority of you who have contributed positively to the group . it is because of your kindness, understanding and helpfulness that i’m compelled to take these measures . i want to continue running the group and see characters’ stories develop , but everyone’s safety and well - being is my priority . i refuse to subject any more members to the unnecessary stress this has caused to those involved , and i want to do all that i can to protect the positive atmosphere that the majority of members have worked hard to maintain . thanks for understanding .
hello! we are providing extra context just to clarify our part in this, and correct a few points we think are necessary for the krp to make their decisions with! 😊
the admin did approach us, and while we told them that we would not disclose any identification to them, we also told them who the original poster was not, in response to a mun's name they mentioned first when approaching us!
this is important, because as part of us making a timeline of the proof submitted and the events in the krp, we noted that there was only one person removed during/after the timestamps of the events (according to the tumblr itself) and before we received most of our proof (in various dms, with timestamped conversations). this person was cleared when we could verify they were not the original poster, and so as far as we can tell, the involved anons are either still in the group, or have yet to have their removal be announced! in this instance, since there is only one account that could be referenced that would no longer be in the krp in relation to this situation, we think that it is misleading to present information this way:
i do not know if the sender is still in the group , and i refuse to pour all the effort i do into a group where i have to constantly worry that someone has so little respect for the community and myself that they opt for hateful anonymous venting instead of seeking constructive solutions to help their community grow ; where i have to constantly worry that i’m leaving members vulnerable to being subject to this kind of behavior by having them stay in a group with this person .
when the admin is aware of the fact that the sender must be in their group. this language has the potential to be quite harmful! it would be very easy for the current krp members to assume that it is the single account that has been removed that submitted the angry anon when we have definitive, identifying proof that the original sender and the member that left are different! if there are more candidates unlisted on the blog leading to the admin's concern, it would be important to add that it is due to the fact that they have yet to post more removals, so that the heat is not on the one member that they know is not the sender.
to add context as to why it is important for us to make this clarification, it is very clear from the volume of proof we have been given that members in the krp strongly feel that the narrative is that the removed member submitted the original message to our blog, but that is simply not true. given that this is clearly a strong theory, to the point where the admin mentioned this mun to us when approaching us, this post from the admin will only serve to further bring baseless hate on the removed member. we can't personally understand why the admin would not seek to clarify the obvious opinion that they are aware their community has when we have told them that it cannot be true. this, to us, contradicts the admin's point about the culture they wish to cultivate, or their strict stance on avoiding drama, as they continue to allow their community to have misconceptions that have already had consequences.
the original poster's main point was also unrelated to the circumstances around the departed member's situation, and only used the krp's current situation to vent about their issues. for this reason we think that this post can send baseless hate on the removed member for simply being removed at the time they chose to leave, with nothing else tying them to the post sent to us.
edited to omit the [strong language], the privated post:
the admin is [being confusing]. they said ooc if an ic pair did something against canon (the krp has predetermined roles and endings etc for each muse, ur goal is to play the chara not build it) then it would have ic fallout. but then the members did the thing anyways, which is allowed under the admin's rules, and then the admin [reacted to it harmfully*, involving most of the krp]
*harmfully is the best way we think we can articulate the anon's feelings, these don't represent our opinions! if nuance is being lost, someone else is free to provide a better way to word this, as we are not trying to change any part of the post's meaning!
the post mentions nothing about the situation that (from what we are able to understand) isn't common knowledge. from the polls on the tumblr, there seems to be general discussion about the future path the krp will take in result of the event that occurred. these decisions will affect every member in the krp so it is not a far reach to say that there could be a disgruntled mun in the krp venting on our blog about the way the situation was handled, and that this larger discussion involving all of the krp is what the anon is discussing as opposed to anything that involves the removed mun. we bring this up as we also told the admin that the anon whose submission we privated had issues that were mainly unrelated to anything involving the removed mun. so despite us telling them explicitly the removed mun is not the original sender, and that the original ask was largely about the rp itself and not any specific incident involving the mun that left, the admin's post here doesn't absolve the removed mun but continues to implicate them!
there are two additional removals posted, and neither of those blogs match the original anon's blog for hqrise (they sent an off anon ask to us from the blog to prove this to us from the beginning), so as of us writing this post there is no removal posted that is the anon that originally spoke to us! this means that, provided the admin is not behind on removals, the anon that submitted the original ask is still in the krp!
we do not make posts about the situations we deal with unless there is substantial reason to do so. we simply allow conversation to continue on the topic, or choose not to post those anons depending on what the outcome of our sorting is. we really think this called for our clarification however! while we understand the toll this can take in a krp, we have still not sorted through all the proof sent to us, and as such, haven't made a firm decision on whether to allow the conversation to keep going or not. once we do, we will move along!
we would like to reiterate that this post is not us taking a side on either situation as that is not our job, and we have not fully come to our conclusions about the matter to be sure of what is the objective truth. this is only to add necessary parts of the story that the admin is omitting, and that we think can be very harmful as a result!
here is our only correspondence with the hqrise team! as of this post being written, the admin has not asked for us to help clarify any part of the events that occurred! we were not aware of this post either, and simply had good luck meeting to work through the proof we had received when we saw it.
here is a portion of our conversation with an involved party (the mun the admin referenced when approaching us and we blacked out in the above screenshots), telling them we were okay with them disclosing to the members in the krp and the admin that the original anon was not them. this was done after we had seen proof of their accounts and blog and could confirm it was not the same blog as the blog in our inbox, and not the same account on discord.
additionally, the post was made private, not deleted, as we were being presented with a lot of proof to go through! we decided it was for the best to private the post and only unprivate it or delete it once we knew if it was valid or not and could see if it was harmful in context or not. the admin had no way of knowing whether or not the post was deleted or privated, we are only mentioning this as it might confuse those we are speaking to who were told we privated it!
feel free to correct us if need be, these are simply our conclusions, backed up by our observations and the proof given to us! we would have liked to have more time to present things more cohesively, but as there is a time limit on this post with very big decisions hinging on it, we did not want the krp to close and for everyone to blame people we know should not be blamed simply because of the admin's choice of wording! 😊 please note that this situation cannot accurately reflect an admin's personality or character, nor are we trying to force people to think a particular way about anyone involved in this matter. as we have seen time and time again, those who are on one side in a certain scene can be on the other side in another.
i know the member who submitted the ask was still in the group instead of being the ex member you claim i'm trying to attack. i believed this ex member when they said they weren't the one to submit the ask, because i know no person in their right mind would go to the lengths they did to prove they're innocent if they're not. why do u think i gave current members a chance to come forward? i am an adult with a full time job. any small amount of free time i have to spend on rping i wanted to dedicate to writing and helping people with character work. i have no time to sit around playing kpop rp sherlock because one person in this group doesn't want to grow up and talk to me. asking you and giving this member a chance to step forward was the quickest and most direct way to the truth. i wanted to give you the chance to be responsible for what you said. i didn't lay out these details for everyone because i wanted to shield everyone as much as possible from all of this. i'm not stupid
u guys can believe what u want. u know exactly what kind of admin i am and have been to every single member of this group. if u think i threw away a plot i spent half a year writing, threw away hours i spent helping individual members with detailed character work and answering anons in extensive detail, for the sole reason of bringing hate down on any ex or current member/s then u can believe that. if u think i wanted anything but the best for a community i literally started then u can believe that.
at the end of the day none of this would happen if vent blogs didn't exist. vent blogs are a parasite to this community that bring more harm than good. whatever accountability for writers and admins u encourage is immensely undermined by the resulting environment of mistrust and invasion of privacy you create. allowing anyone to say and submit anything, allowing people's private conversations to be spread without their consent for any reason, far beyond the borders of a community they elected to join, cancels out and far outweighs any potential benefits you claim to bring to the community.
i do blame you for rise closing along with that one member who decided anonymous hate was worth a dozen other people losing a community they worked hard to build. i let a lot of things slide and ignored a lot of unkind messages while running this group, but this level of ooc drama is one thing that i will absolutely not put myself through.
