Hello members and lurkers. First and foremost, the admin team (Katie, Jade, and Hails) want you to know we truly work towards having an RP that is diverse and inclusive. To our members, we continue to encourage you to come forward off anon if you have any issues with another member or how the admins are running the RP. Like with any RP, it's hard to create a discourse for change without fully understanding a situation. We as admins are not above anything, and are open to any and all constructive criticism as long as we can have a conversation about it. If you feel uncomfortable talking to all three admins, or even just a certain admin, you can always message us on our characters just 1x1.
As admins, we're also tasked with making sure all members are comfortable here. When we received multiple, off-anon complaints, that members were uncomfortable with a character, we investigated the situation with the information brought to us by those members, and took the action we felt was necessary for the comfort of those who reached out to us. Whether or not you agree with that action, it doesn't erase the fact that multiple members of diverse backgrounds were uncomfortable with the situation, enough so that they came forward to us. Please know, we will continue to protect the people that came forward, whether you believe us or not.
We’d also like to reiterate that the removal of this muse had absolutely nothing to do with his sexuality. And everything to do with the multiple complaints, within a short span of time. We investigated each claim that came our way, and felt that it would be better suited for the continued comfortability of the RP to ask him to leave. We’ve prided ourselves since the day we opened on being inclusive and loving to characters of all backgrounds, race, gender, and sexualities.
Also, we know Vesta is a little different than that other RPs, so we want to make sure we clarify any confusion there may be when it comes to the rules. This is a no pre-plotting rp. This does not mean no plotting all together. It just means do not plot BEFORE the muses have even interacted. From that first interaction, you're able to see what kind of dynamic naturally forms. We also do not accept connections for active relationships (ie; boyfriend/girlfriends/best friends) since these relationships cannot be developed organically.
Yesterday was Vesta's 4 month anniversary, so some characters and muns who have been around for months, have created connections based on chemistry, and what you see unfolding on the dash is a result of that. If you feel that someone is breaking this rule, or if it's unfairly being enforced, please let us know off anon. You also should never feel afraid to reach out to the muns of characters you’ve already interacted with! In an rp as big as this one it’s easy to feel like your character isn’t seen, but our members are very understanding and happy to work with you.
