The Star: Why is everyone leaving? Why some couldn't come back...

Why is everyone leaving?

 

Because of the star. They are following the star.

And behold, this is the story of the star. 

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 |

The prequel.

 

Yes, yes. They left because of a star. If the star wasn't the reason, then why would the response or lack of response about the star matter that much? And I wonder... How did they report the missing star? Hmmm?

AFFers only tweet @asianfanfics when we can't access the site. 

AFFers also know the difference between a chat moderator and a site moderator. A chat moderator do not handle site issues. They don't have the three letters (mod) next to their usernames. So those screenshots of comments are from chat moderators.

Keeper's account of what happened

 

It started when exobubz posted a link to nc17 fanart. Someone reported exobubz and the mod gave exobubz a warning but exobubz didn't comply. This resulted to a ban. Now, when exobubz' minions, clicked on 10080, what they saw in the user reports section were the plagiarism reports. They quickly assumed exobubz was banned for plagiarism and being the unreasonable and disrespectful blind followers that they are, thought exobubz did no wrong. exobubz didn't plagiarize. They were bashing Jason in twitter. To make it worse, exobubz never admitted to his/her offense at the time and played the victim card which riled up his/her blind followers more. Overlord nim, exobubz' friend, created a new account for exobubz here. So, exobubz posted his/her fics again and exobubz' blind followers gave exobubz karma and upvoted his/her fica again. They want to give back exobubz position in the popular author's section. Rank 7. Boss got wind of it finally gave back IT's account but in exchange, the new account would be deleted. He got annoyed with all the chaos they made.

However, Saturday came and exobubz fics in the new account got featured in both non-rated and rated sections. The algorithm had measured it even before the account was banned. But since account is banned, users can't access it. Boss changed the featured fics. Chanicki's Diva Central got featured again. It was previously featured in the rated m section but because she unmarked her chapters, the whole fic reclassified itself as non-rated, that's why the algorithm chose it as the new featured fic in the regular section. The mods saw that it should be rated so they put back the rating and the algorithm cleaned up everything, which caused her to lose her star.

Channicki and exobubz claimed contacting the mods and the admin about the lost star. However, it is only when I reported it that Boss found out what was going on in less than 24 hours. He asked his mods and they denied receiving such report. Perhaps they contacted the wrong people. Exobubz tweeted a screencap of a comment from 'moderators' when their usernames don't even have the [mod] next to them. Upon reading the comment, the user turns out to be a chat mod. OTL. Chat mods are different from site mods.

This is one mess they started. AFF is not to blame. We are not customers. And that kind of attitude is unacceptable especially from the people who caused it. Channicki lost her star on her own. Humility and patience would have helped her get it back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't hold it in anymore. Wahahahahahaha!!! I went to twitter and apparently, those two couldn't access the site. I don't know if the moderators changed their passwords and recovery emails or they pissed off a hacker (a number of users here claimed that their accounts have been hacked.) or they are being dramatic again. I thought they wanted to leave this "ty" site. Why come back?  Ka! Just leave!!! Ahahahahaha!!!! XDDDD

Huh? I'm sorry, I just found this post by reading one of my friend's post. So, some people are leaving AFF because of some person was accused or actually did plagiarism? And now this person's fans are harassing the mods for banning her for plagiarism? What story did she plagiarized?

LOL keeper the last part killed me XD.
Honestly Im just so glad they're gone. Neither of them helped to make AFF "half-decent" in fact they have been the source of so much in the past month. OTL

actually, she or he or let's just say those particular users (kkkkk) shouldn't have joined AFF from the first time. they should join winglin for all they care (but I doubt if they know abt winglin), if they called AFF all those bad names (and experience all winglin's /glory/).

/If/ boss and the mods have a long~ free time, I think it'll be great if they can do some 'major cleaning' :D

I dont even know this happened actually.
So she was mad bcus her star was gone & her friend fic was un-featured or smth.... well I am confused.
Who is she again? I dont think I ever read her or her friend story even if it was featured lol
So they are banned? HAHAHAHHAHAA
Since AFF change a few things here the attitude of some authors really put me off.
I have seen author threaten to stop writing altogether because she couldnt accept critics. Like... not even one bad thing wth. And she did this several times. I dont know if she's insecure or just... but might as well pack her stuff & leave but no... still here somehow. And not to say about those who require certain subscribers/comments until next update =.=
And as an LJ user for a few years, I think I would prefer AFF over LJ for fanfic resource. AFF is easy to access with all the direct tag, search bar & everything. LJ doesnt work like that. It needs community to spread thing around. & it's not like you can find EVERYTHING in just one community. & worst case scenario, authors lock post to friend only.
tbh even if I wasnt here that long, I found so many great authors who write without caring about the number of subscribers or getting upvote what more of a yellow star. And they are still under appreciate as of now. But do they stop writing? No. I still see new fic coming from them.
That user especially never deal with that great collapse July last year doesnt she? You only lost a star gdi. A star that you can ask for again but last year more people lost their own hard work. How is that compare to your resentment tbh?
I truly hope they leave for good. I think everyone has enough drama in the fandom itself we dont need bs because of fanfic writer who is being a brat.

Guys, I actually really like this. I mean, it's about time we did some cleaning around here. As much as I loved her stories, I don't think that she was in her right state of mind by acting so childish. >_> It's really infuriating and we don't need the childishness.

See? They should have left earlier. lol. I was wondering why even after the fuss they made themselves they still kept accessing the site. Does it take that long to delete stories and deactivate the accounts? xD
Anyway, I hope they wouldn't dare to comeback to AFF as new users. That would be too shameless. Though after their immature acts I shouldn't expect anything from them. OTL

Please leave for good those who want to leave. It's a good riddance. lol.

I couldn't be happier if they are leaving. I guess us, the remaining finally can have a party like we used to be! LOL. Wohooo! Shout out to the old users!

(I think she's also butthurt because she wanted to become a mod but she think the rules are ridiculous and she thinks she couldn't make cut.)

i am trying to get into the mindset of those people, to empathise with why the outbursts from their lost star. (And I am currently brain dead from uni work that I suppose I could play pretend for a while lol).

(1) They are young that their priorities are not quite ... right
(2) They associate the star as being crowned prom queen and being denied it after tasting that sweet victory was a blow to the pride, not quite understanding that having the star means little in life, like the title of a prom queen. Hell, I dont even remember names of all the featured authors and I have been here for a year -_-
(3) They are not in fanfic writing for the writing, or they have lost that reason/passion (which I then think they are boring and uninteresting, because passion makes the writing interesting)
(4) It was also 'fun' for them to have this new thing to rant about and cause sensation about
(5) young...
(6) ... and bored,
(7) with the 'look at me!' mentality of a 4yr old kid

I randomly conclude that scandals make people popular for the wrong reasons. I believe notorious and infamous are the words. Funny that I don't think people will remember them much. Meh. I won't be.
