Being a young age, not understanding how companies provide technical and user support and being selfish/ignorant ... @queen mango Its most often one of these that cause this

twin jacinth
#

This is a public discord, we're free to voice our opinion as long as it's sensible.

umbral reef
#

@fleet ice Then go to the email and stop wasting our time also ๐Ÿ‘

#

If you dont want to use the email- Feel free to block 99% of this chat

#

As people will keeping 'helping' you

fleet ice
#

i makes no sense to feel adressed if you are not able to give an answer.... do you guys need attention or what?

quartz basin
#

Yes, lots of attention.

twin jacinth
#

๐Ÿคฆ

umbral reef
#

But we did provide an answer ๐Ÿ‘
The exact same one the admins gave a few msgs later even-

#

I should quit using the clap emote ๐Ÿค”

glossy wharf
#

guy keeps asking the same question over and over after getting an answer
people repeat the answer for him

"do you guys need attention" 4Head

umbral reef
#

I need attention yea :^)

#

Im lonely

#

Send food

twin jacinth
#

People here are actually really helpful and can provide the same answer an admin can in some cases, and in most cases as well the users will answer instead of an admin ๐Ÿคท
If you can't deal with people helping you in a public discord you should, as mentioned above not post it here and take it via mail

quartz basin
#

taking a shit in a public place
ask why people look at him in disgust
still doesn't get it why people look at him in disgust

vocal shard
#

"people are racist ebcause they block me"

#

yeah, i'm sure that0s the only reason they block you.

fleet ice
#

i dont need answers i can get from standard forms, this is not the sense of giving questions on a support email

quartz basin
#

I don't even know what he means.

umbral reef
#

If its pure about the support email, then we also gave you the answer
As they do not handle anything that happened within the emails in here

#

If you want details about that send a new email

fleet ice
#

but nvm. end of topic

quartz basin
#

No! Don't go!

twin jacinth
#

My PaIn IS FaR gReAtEr ThAN YOuRS

#

Insert pain face

queen mango
#

Either you learn it the easy way or the hard way.
You definitely don't wanna learn the hard way, not in here.

vocal shard
#

it's too late

twin jacinth
#

^

vocal shard
#

you are sure that he won't get any help for a lot of active users around here

fleet ice
#

@vocal shard ok my friend, did you ever play with a knuckle avatar and were blocked instantly without an obviously reason?? THIS IS FUCKING FRUSTRATING, there are player they life in bad habbits, and this is a serious problem!

quartz basin
#

What? Using a knuckles avatar is a solid reason to block you.

twin jacinth
#

There's an obvious reason for getting blocked with knuckles avatars and that is they've been used to harass users and generally annoying ๐Ÿคท

fleet ice
#

@quartz basin are you kidding me?

vocal shard
#

i block knuckles avatars

#

don't use a trash avatar that 90% of people hate

#

or if you do, don't complain when people block you

quartz basin
#

You get triggered getting blocked while using the most cancerous avatar out there?

#

This is your fucking deal?

twin jacinth
#

Omega LuL

queen mango
#

That was 9-10 months ago. Yet it's left a sour taste

fleet ice
#

this is an mainstream opinion about people they used this avatar in the wrong way.. use your own brain you victim

quartz basin
#

#metoo

twin jacinth
#

Still does not change the fact that's it's a dead meme and 90% dislike anyone who uses a knuckles avatar

quartz basin
#

You are welcome to use another avatar which is more appealing.

dapper stump
#

People can block you for whichever reason they want to and you cant do anything about it, get over it

fleet ice
#

useless.. no more time for this racists shit here

queen mango
#

Plus, it's really generic

quartz basin
#

Yes, disliking knuckles is now considered being racist.

#

Knowing that I can finally sleep again

umbral reef
#

Pretty sure being a knuckle isnt a race GWcfcThonk

vocal shard
#

everything needs to be a race thing apparently

dapper stump
#

Love waking up early in the morning and start reading this chat, its such a great way to start of the day tbh. Very entertaining

vocal shard
#

hating a dead meme is being racist now people

umbral reef
#

Is sex a race? :^)

vocal shard
#

imma report you to the meme police if you hate on dead memes

umbral reef
#

Like is sexist racist? :^)

quartz basin
#

I'm just gonna clap twice and that shit is dead.

umbral reef
vocal shard
#

oh yeah of course.

queen mango
#

Alright, move it to random chat, people

modern sand
#

Can y'all move on ?

vocal shard
#

let the community deal with a angry kid but then yeet them out of a channel when the shit storm stopped

queen mango
#

Oh dear

undone perch
#

Someone get on the Voxel Tower world I wanna play Hide and Go Seek

vocal shard
#

Hoi

undone perch
#

hi

vocal shard
#

Love scrolling up to drama

#

Nom nom nom

lethal cedar
#

Is there discount on amazon on black friday?

rigid crescent
#

Yes

sterile drift
#

I always miss the fun ones. That Suiheisen guy LOL

#

He's still in here so I still have a chance

rigid crescent
#

Yeah, I like to imagine how they can even function irl, assuming they do. Being dumb on the internet is one thing, but imagine saying shit like that to an actual human face to face.

#

In real life. How can you even live after saying something like that unironically to another human being lol

vocal shard
#

they don't talk to "normal" people IRL i guess

#

normal people would just laugh at his face

sterile drift
#

Lol

#

I mean I would laugh too, and I'm not normal

vocal shard
#

a Knuckle getting angry because people are blocking him OMEGALUL

tacit plank
#

"Block avatar" would be better, unless he's also doing the knuckles voice and you don't wanna listen to it

vocal shard
#

i only block knuckle if they do the old routine

#

"do you know de wey" and what not

#

otherwise i can just ignore them

tacit plank
#

I don't think blocking just the avatar gives a penalty... At least it shouldn't. It's used a lot in the murder game map to make avatars show as they turn invisible randomly

rigid crescent
#

Blocking most likely doesn't either.

lethal cedar
#

discount on everything?=

rigid crescent
#

Blocking likely has next to no impact, if any.

#

No.

lethal cedar
#

i hope they will make the 1070 cheaper

gleaming patio
#

would be fun if maps were allowed to force avatars but it'd require a lot of thought

rigid crescent
#

Not really, just a script

#

or whatever an udon thing would be.

tacit plank
#

I think blocking has an inpact

rigid crescent
#

a noodle

tacit plank
#

Otherwise, how is the troll rank achieved?

vocal shard
#

blocking an avatar shouldnt do anything

#

since alot of people are blocking them for getting more FPS

rigid crescent
#

Well, you msut need to be blocked by more than 250 people for it ot have any impact

gleaming patio
#

what i mean is, about people who like to be at a certain height or have full body @rigid crescent

tacit plank
#

That's also a bad system though, because you will get that sooner or later if you play long enough

rigid crescent
#

Oh, they just won't have a choice while in those worlds

gleaming patio
#

forced avatars should be full body compatible just in case

tacit plank
#

Say, 2000 hours, slowly getting more blocks

umbral reef
#

Caff- You ok?

rigid crescent
#

Could be x blocks in X time

#

there's definitely more than one way to make sure that doesn't happen

umbral reef
#

You honest to god think all blocks just add up and even if you are the highest rnak BOOM ezpz untrusted?

gleaming patio
#

how long do you have to even play to get the gold rank, i havent played for months until like 2 weeks ago

rigid crescent
#

you can't , there isn't one

umbral reef
#

@gleaming patio No set ammount-

vocal shard
#

1500 hours

tacit plank
#

I don't think so, but it's a possibility

vocal shard
#

2500 for platinum rank

umbral reef
#

Tl;dr No one knows shit about this system beside rumors and guesses

vocal shard
#

4000 for diamond

gleaming patio
#

i think as an introvert i might be disadvantaged ๐Ÿ˜›

rigid crescent
#

also I'm 2k hours and only have about 20 or so people blocked, and about 5 or 6 are old room-crashes where they'd blcok the whole room to make sure they onyl crash one person

gleaming patio
#

thought its also based on friends etc

twin jacinth
#

the rank beneath purple?

rigid crescent
#

"it's a possibility" so is everything

umbral reef
#

It cna also be its just pure RNG

gleaming patio
#

i am currently, uh, "user"

vocal shard
twin jacinth
#

i have 300 hours and i'm known

gleaming patio
#

i kinda just want my custom shaders to take effect

vocal shard
tacit plank
#

I just wanted to mentioned it in case they had designed it like that

gleaming patio
#

i mean i set up my avatar to work without them just fine so

#

i dont look freakish apparently

rigid crescent
#

Well, I know a user with 2k hours and about 200-ish blocks, so i doubt it lol

tacit plank
#

Because knowing VRChat, some things are just poorly designed

umbral reef
#

Then you play a diffrent VRC then i do

#

As they do dumb shit

rigid crescent
#

and as far as I've heard peopel talking here, everyone with the nuisance deserved it and it was immediately apparent why they had it once they unmuted them

umbral reef
#

But not retarded things

rigid crescent
#

but that's obviously only counting the "WHOA I SAW A NUISANCE!" posts I've seen here

gleaming patio
#

i wonder really if things like getting friend requests from trusted users could also have an effect, like the more seasoned user friends you, the more you ascend or something

#

that it basically acts like a magnet

rigid crescent
#

Friends have too much weight on the system to be honest.

umbral reef
#

Again- No one knows
All we can do is guess and theory craft

#

So its imo pointless to do

tacit plank
#

If your arms are too short, it's difficult to hear other people

vocal shard
#

I think it's a bit of a combined of the initial request... And how long you spend with those people. Regarding friends

gleaming patio
#

we all know as soon as it owuld be known people would be aiming for that

rigid crescent
#

Friends are one of the things you can absolutely tell has a lot of weight.

tacit plank
#

That's how VRChat works. So at times I go "you didn't design it in this way, right?" to remind the staff in case they actually did

rigid crescent
#

How do you know that's ever worked

#

or mattered

gleaming patio
#

i hope the system ascends me soon enough

tacit plank
#

Friends isn't everything though, iris doesn't have the last API rank and she got enough friends to break the menu iris

rigid crescent
#

It's enough that people purging have immediately lost rank

gleaming patio
#

wait, so deleting friends descends?

rigid crescent
#

Multiple people have said they've lost rank while doing it, or while deleting avatars.

vocal shard
#

again

gleaming patio
#

:Kappa:

vocal shard
#

we dont know

#

anything

#

it's just speculation

rigid crescent
#

I mean it's not really speculation when it's happened...

gleaming patio
#

well this seems to be proof that it affects it somehow

umbral reef
#

Because we totally know if nothnig else they did effected anything at all

tacit plank
#

It is, but if you delete friends and lose a rank, that's a pretty good indicator that it's a factor

gleaming patio
#

i think they should have done it that if you unfriend and refriend someone, it doesn't do anything at all

vocal shard
#

yeah and i heard some people gaining rank by removing friends so ๐Ÿคท

umbral reef
#

This system totally has one varuable that can effect anything at all ๐Ÿ‘Œ

rigid crescent
#

Oclac, if they're losing it immediately as they're doing it, it's probably it

gleaming patio
#

removing toxic friends maybe?

tacit plank
#

Interesting, did they delete low ranked ones?

umbral reef
#

So when that one thing changes for some users it and a result happens its 105% because of that and not other things

gleaming patio
#

oh it's all social credit haha

vocal shard
#

no

rigid crescent
#

Two people have come in wondering why they lost rank while purging their friends list or avatar list.

vocal shard
#

other known or trusted

tacit plank
#

Also they redid the system a few times

rigid crescent
#

Immediately after doing so.

vocal shard
#

some users too

rigid crescent
#

Not a few hours later, not a few days later, immediately.

tacit plank
#

User is low rank though

umbral reef
#

And plenty have done it without any results ๐Ÿ‘

vocal shard
#

user is average

umbral reef
#

I know dudes who removed everyone for the shits and giggles to see if its true

vocal shard
#

the fuck you talking about

umbral reef
#

But lmao nah

gleaming patio
#

i guess it's black magic and it was not enough to break the rank even then

tacit plank
#

Most of my friends are known or trusted, I ahve very few who're below

rigid crescent
#

same

tacit plank
#

I've played with them for a while though

vocal shard
#

i only have known and trusted friends i believe

#

i'm known user ๐Ÿคท

rigid crescent
#

It's just 'natural' that trusted users gravitate towards one another. Even in public worlds I've kinda found myself mainly socializing with known/trusted even while their ranks are off.

vocal shard
#

got demoted in the middle of the week when i wasnt even playing like 1-2 months ago

rigid crescent
#

It sound silly but you can almost tell just by talking to certain people.

umbral reef
#

@vocal shard Nah you got me

rigid crescent
#

Like even joining a friends of guest, it'll be full of people with rank off that you definitely know are trusted and will even turn rank on if you ask

gleaming patio
#

yeah i think the system is aimed at gravitating people into social caste

#

of some sort

rigid crescent
#

It's definitely not

vocal shard
#

what rank are you oclac?

twin jacinth
#

When you mentioned it Svel i mostly only have friends that's users and up

rigid crescent
#

It naturally happened before we even knew what ranks were.

gleaming patio
#

right but what if it still is

rigid crescent
#

It's not.

gleaming patio
#

i cant know of course

#

maybe there's some way of recommending rooms to you with people of similar participation score

umbral reef
#

Pretty sure im the basic user rank unity_chan_dab

rigid crescent
#

There's not

umbral reef
#

Or well the rank you need to upload shit

vocal shard
#

new user

twin jacinth
#

That's blue

rigid crescent
#

blue is cute

#

i like it almost as much as purple

vocal shard
#

blue is best color tbh

#

probably half my friends are blue..
O.o

gleaming patio
#

youll stay blue

twin jacinth
#

i don't like the known user color lul
I'd prefer red but that's reserved for admins :(((

vocal shard
#

jamie hanging out with the trash lul

gleaming patio
#

not serious

#

i guess i am leaning out the window too much anyway

rigid crescent
#

Basically, a lot of the more established (as far as time played together) groups of friends found they were mostly all veteran/trusted when the beta hit

#

It had nothing to do with the system moving people around or this or that

gleaming patio
#

i guess people on the same level just flock together as always

rigid crescent
#

Almost all my friends list was trusted/veteran along with a lot of other friend's lists, it's just how they set the weighting at the time

#

and my list is basically still all trusted save for a few here and there that don't play as often

gleaming patio
#

most of my friends who i like talking with are trusted heh

umbral reef
#

Might explain why i gravitate to playing with trash :^)

gleaming patio
#

yet i am green

#

reg user

vocal shard
#

Is messed up tho... Like I have 300 hours, and am trusted, while my friend who started the same time, (Oct 2017) with close to 1000k hours and tonnes of avatars is known...

gleaming patio
#

which points towards there being a weighing mechanic

twin jacinth
#

It's just a rank does not really matter if you're grey, purple or green tbh

meager solstice
#

^ true

gleaming patio
#

i just want enough rank to be able to show my creation

#

tbh

vocal shard
#

nobody should care about ranks, this is true

gleaming patio
#

dont want to annoy anyone

twin jacinth
#

You should be able to rank up to blue pretty quickly which is the rank required to upload stuff and make it public

rigid crescent
#

Yeah it doesn't matter, just an observation

fleet ice
#

@sterile drift do you wanna more stuff to laugh about?

umbral reef
#

No one should care about ranks GWcfcThonk

#

Then why the fuck are they a thing

vocal shard
#

^

gleaming patio
#

i am "user" rank and i can upload stuff, uhh

#

what color was that

sleek bone
#

Russians and Public Instances

#

ugh

rigid crescent
#

No one should care about them as a social standing

#

Obviously they mean something.

gleaming patio
#

i think they're to ward off people who create accounts to be toxic

rigid crescent
#

they already can't upload

gleaming patio
#

and nothing else

twin jacinth
#

But in the end a lot of people do because it's a way to show off that you've invested time in the game

Visitor=Grey
New User=Blue
User=Green
Known User = Ugly af color
Trusted User = Purple

gleaming patio
#

right, but they could before

#

a while ago

rigid crescent
#

a long time ago at this point yeah, before ranks were a thing

gleaming patio
#

i dont know how "being able to upload" and the rank system are related tbh

#

if there was a lock before the rank system

#

now people have to gain the trust of the system and of people before they can upload, and then before they can use more potentially annoying features

twin jacinth
#

The system has always been here just not visible to us in ranks
you've had the trust system since 2017 i think? not sure when they implemented it

gleaming patio
#

i dont know either

rigid crescent
#

THey already had to do that Sin

#

months ago

umbral reef
#

nah not 2017

vocal shard
#

The ranking system has been in place for a long time. It was just hidden in the API. They just made it public knowledge in this update

umbral reef
#

far from

rigid crescent
#

the trust system was from like may-ish?

umbral reef
#

But it was a few months before here- just hiden and shit

gleaming patio
#

well i had like a 4 month hiatus a few weeks ago

vocal shard
#

Not 2017.. yeah

gleaming patio
#

or more

#

it was def more

umbral reef
#

Only new shit from the update is being able to block shaders and animations from peeps

gleaming patio
#

i'm just not up to speed when it exactly appeared

umbral reef
#

As the rest of the settings dont matter

gleaming patio
#

for me it's still new

rigid crescent
#

It was May or June when they implemented it I think, just not visible.

vocal shard
#

may i believe

rigid crescent
#

Blocking shaders, animations, blocking single avatars, particles, sound...

vocal shard
#

still think it's funny how the in game ranks are named one rank lower than the actual API rank that shows in the system

umbral reef
#

I have still to find someone use shit sound or particles when they dont have a toxic material/shader

rigid crescent
#

I block all avatar sounds except friends

umbral reef
#

And if i want to no crash just disable all animations ๐Ÿ‘

rigid crescent
#

until you get hit with that shoulder mesh

#

lul

#

toxic shader/material ecks dee

gleaming patio
#

i like that you can at least block certain things an avatar can include

umbral reef
#

Yea because everyone runs around with that shit GWoooKarenSugoi

vocal shard
#

shoulder mesh?

umbral reef
#

Totally a realistic thing

rigid crescent
#

I just don't want to hear their music or gun or avatar audio at all

#

it's less to do with cancerous sounds for me

gleaming patio
#

i dont even have audio on my avatar

#

never really went into it, people suggested me to add something for some override i have but i didnt do it

#

i'm really afraid of annoying peolpe tbh

#

being a nuisance is really the opposite of what i want to do

rigid crescent
#

it can be an interesting gimmick for a time

#

"hey i can make this little version of my avatar dance on my hand while this song plays" but that's really the extent most of the time

#

there's the purring and other various animal sounds, but most of the time it's just gimmicks, interesting ones sometimes, but usually nothing I feel left out by not hearing

gleaming patio
#

since i am a full body dumbass i tend to try to dance along if someone starts a song that has a beat to it lol

vocal shard
#

i have some animations that relies on sound to "feel" better

rigid crescent
#

if people are clamoring around something that could be interesting I'll turn them on, usually not though. I don't think most people are like me in that regard though, more people probably have them on.

vocal shard
#

Basically, I got user from my like 30 ish hours in the game (I got it before I hit 30, a little before that) and my time and my friends I've made

#

I also spend little to no time idling, try to be not annoying

#

Basically, just being normal

rigid crescent
#

I got New User on an alt after a few hours and just stopped using, it's so weird how people spend 40+hours not getting upload priveleges

sterile drift
#

Wait I got a ping from the fool LOL

inner cape
#

@sterile drift (1)

sterile drift
#

OOF

#

Ya got me

inner cape
median basalt
#

@rigid crescent I played for roughly 5 days straight on an alt account before getting upload privileges

#

This was before the trust system though

#

I also friended like 20 people in that time

vocal shard
#

I just friend people I find cool

#

My alt got new user in 4 hours

#

ANd i find a lot of peeps cool

sterile drift
#

But yea @fleet ice you pinged me an hour later about something I said, which proves you're trying to find people who are talking about you to provoke an argument. Sorry, not having it. unity_chan_dab

median basalt
#

To me, it seemed like there was a minimum account age. I got nothing after 5 days. Logged in on that account a week later, had a message with upload privileges

sterile drift
#

The man had to like

#

Scroll up

#

And sift through

rigid crescent
#

I've mentioned it before, but I've got 5 hours tops on the alt, 1 friend (my main), and never spoke

#

i got it on the 2nd or 3rd day.

sterile drift
#

To find a message of someone who didn't even participate in the initial conversation

median basalt
#

Some people use selfbots to alert when their name is being said

sterile drift
#

Eh probably but

median basalt
#

And some people just scroll up for something to argue about lmao

vocal shard
#

Yeah...

sterile drift
#

Yea but again he like

umbral reef
#

Gotta waste ya time on something

sterile drift
#

Had to sift through to find me anyway

#

I doubt he had a selfbot

vocal shard
#

I just scrolled up to add something about the new system

#

The rank system

#

...

fleet ice
#

@sterile drift that's an interesting analysis, i did other stuff and didnt feel to take a look on this chat the whole time and now u give up

vocal shard
#

stop trying to start drama again for no reason
ruuubick said to move on from this

#

yikes

subtle prawn
fleet ice
#

until one of your favorite avatars will be abused by idiots and everyone starts to block everyone with this avatar, i'm pretty sure then the time of your crying will come

vocal shard
#

if your favorite avatars is a knuckle, you should really start to have better priorities in life

fleet ice
#

instead of hating knuckles, give me arguments against it

round bluff
rigid crescent
#

"one of your favorite avatars" huh? You mean the ones I make

#

typically no one is using those lol

#

I'll bite though, i love the bait.

#

Most all of the people I see using it are annoying people who are trying to do the old Knuckles bit. It's annoying, so I block. E Z

fleet ice
#

but that is not my fail, so where is the reason to block me?

rigid crescent
#

Because most people using it are doing the bit.

#

Saves me the trouble of having to hear it.

fleet ice
#

i dont care what most user do, you have to differentiate

median basalt
#

I don't block knuckles on sight, but I do block them if they start doing the same routine

#

Knuckles are a very mixed bag. I've seen some really bad ones, and some really good ones. There's rarely an in-between.

umbral reef
#

If you hate being blocked why not just be something else?

fleet ice
#

your only arguments are the bad behaviors months ago.. thats everything....

rigid crescent
#

"months ago"

vocal shard
#

so we can't hate any nazi anymore since it was years ago i guess ๐Ÿคท

rigid crescent
#

they're still around. I blocked two yesterday doing the bit and couldn't block 2 others i saw later because i was testing something involving my headset while my headset was off

#

i block if i see them trying the routine, it's old

#

possible before they even talk to me if i heard them do it across the room

fleet ice
#

if i ask you again, what is the reason to block me... your answer is the bad behavior of other ones.. but this has nothing to do with me

vocal shard
#

i'll block you if you do the knuckle routine

#

otherwise i will just ignore you

rigid crescent
#

it's not even bad behavior to be honest, just annoying

umbral reef
#

Suik- If i dress like an spefic group that is known for doing X or Y
Im dumb for thinking the average user wont put me under the same group and expect me to do X or Y

ruby needle
#

People do that because they personally decided they dont want it, just like you decide that you do want to use a Ugandan Knuckles avatar.

Knuckles have a generally negative reputation due to how they where used and how spread it was. And that is how it is and i belive wont change.

fleet ice
#

again, it is not my fault if some russian kiddys abues this still with do you know the way shit.. be smart and differentiate

umbral reef
#

Its how all humans work ๐Ÿ‘
You asumed we knew jack shit about moderation just because we dont have a fancy color
You are prejudge people so...

rigid crescent
#

Man way to generalize, russians aren't the only ones doing it.

umbral reef
#

And again- If you hate it this much, why not swap avatars...

rigid crescent
#

you're using it knowing the consequences, and continue to do so despite people here voicing their opinions oni t.

#

Why do you care if people block you?

#

They're strangers.

fleet ice
#

i dont care, you guys generalize the whole time

vocal shard
#

if you don't want to get blocked that much, don't use that avatar

#

it's pretty simple.

#

with how you act here, i'm fairly certain that people would have other reasons to block you

best answer.. feeling forces to dont use an avatar because of mistakes i never made... you are soooooo damn smart...

rigid crescent
#

OK so, why do you care if you get blocked

#

why have this argument

#

No one is forcing you to do anything.

#

use whatever avatar you like as long as it's within the TOS, which Knuckles is.

#

Why are you even upset if you don't care? why talk about it? what does the conversation solve if you don't care to begin with?

umbral reef
#

So you want to prove a point by using the avatar?

fleet ice
#

the fact is, besides bad behaviors of some random player, you dont have any good argument against knuckles... the player behind a knuckle could be your best friend but because of an habbit you just block him

subtle prawn
umbral reef
#

Well, knuckles are a forced meme that resulted in plenty of bad light for the game and the community
The original creator of the avatar even wanted it to die down at its peek because of that

#

Its just prejudge- Its the same what you have against us or the russians GWnanamiLaceShrug

fleet ice
#

but i dont block russians instantly, that is a difference

bold parcel
#

wait so let me get this strait. Suiheisen was blocked by mic for useing a knuckles avatar and did not have any bad behavior pertaining to it. he then later complained on here about being blocked on VR chat by a random stranger?
I mean I have my clay potato looking knuckle abomination and get blocked by random shubs all the time but I dont really kick up a fuss about it. I just shrug and move on

rough pulsar
#

Consider what the overabundance of knuckles felt like to the existing VRChat community at the time.
From my personal experience, it felt like a hostile invasion.
From that you can further understand why people react to it the way they do.

rigid crescent
#

". the player behind a knuckle could be your best friend but because of an habbit you just block him" that would literally never happen

#

ever

#

So, one more time for you Suiheisen. Why do you care?

fleet ice
#

yes, because of your prejudices

rigid crescent
#

why would I block my friend? I know their voice and username

ruby needle
#

thats how a reputation works @fleet ice

#

This model has build up a negative reputation with a lot of players and currently still is often abused for meming and the like.

#

And thats just how it works.

umbral reef
#

Also- I love how you blame us for doing the actions

#

Meanwhile everyone here said they dont insta blcok anyone for just using an avatar

bold parcel
#

if someone is so repuled by a dumb jeelybean looking knuckle avatar that they will block there friend over even clicking on a knuckle, then theres an even bigger issue at hand

vocal shard
#

@bold parcel nah

rough pulsar
#

@fleet ice In your own words, what do you think of knuckles avatars, and the meme?

vocal shard
#

random people blocked him

fleet ice
#

i didnt say you block your friend, i said you would never make a person that is using a knuckle to your friend, because prejudices

vocal shard
#

cuz he was using a knuckle avatar

umbral reef
#

@bold parcel I guess you never played before the knuckle or even during the boom?

vocal shard
#

and he is not happy that people do whatever they want

bold parcel
#

Oh I did, but I didnt think much of it honestly

rigid crescent
#

Before I started blocking them and even had a "prejudice", I did not befriend a single Knuckles user whatsoever.

#

I found them annoying for the msot part, but didn't like blocking people back just just because, now I genuinely don't care.

bold parcel
#

it was the driveing reason for me to make my own. mostly to look like a nightmarish imitation of them and then mock them to there faces with a monument to there "dead memeness"

umbral reef
#

Then you got lucky or are fairly denying of other users...
Because being unable to talk for a few minutes every hour you play in public rooms because a raid of knuckle happens is boring AF and gets hate made quickly

#

And then being spit on GWoooKarenSugoi fun times fun times

bold parcel
#

instead the squeeker knuckles hated me and the older ones loved it

rigid crescent
#

also the only people dumber than knuckle users are the "DEAD MEME DEAD MEME DEAD MEME HAHAHAHA" people too.

bold parcel
#

^

umbral reef
#

So you bullied the knuckles Well- blocking them is just as bad then...

#

Or atleast tauned them ๐Ÿคท How ya wanna call it

fleet ice
#

@rough pulsar my opinion about knuckles is the same like in my world i created "fluffles paradise" it is still an avatar you can be very creative with, and the most of our knuckle community dont care it is a dead meme or not, and we are not a part of annoying assholes

rigid crescent
#

So you all just happen to use the knuckles avatar and don't do the routine whatosver

#

why is that so hard to believe ๐Ÿค”

compact river
#

I have not seen a raid of any sort in a long time oddly

fleet ice
#

@rigid crescent prejudices

compact river
#

And i dont mind people using the avatar for knuckles

rigid crescent
#

Prejudice? quite literally all but two knuckles I've ever met have done the routine

umbral reef
#

@compact river Because the users often get hate for doing raids like that GWnanamiLaceShrug

rigid crescent
#

Call it what you'd like, but if 100 people with a Red and Green Striped Had spit on me, I'm not gonna trust the 101st to not do it as well.

#

oh by the way

compact river
#

Iven seen lots of knuckles that are chill singing in the pug

rigid crescent
#

It's based on reason and actual experience

fleet ice
#

how often i have to repeat myself until you understand that it is not my damn mistake when randoms player abuse this? i saw enough player with a modified version of the admin avatars and they crash or annoy you very often... and know i have to block every of these or what?

bold parcel
#

I would say taunt or messed with. still do. and in my case. I dont do the click, or the spits. I have had a giggle from time to time by buding into a conversation when I hear the W word. and go with a retarded voice rather than the mock african accent while also holding perfectly normal conversations

and my other monster that looks like if donkeykong was wearing a set of ugandan knuckle skin spandex gets a voice akin to a dieing hippo and spouts the meme as I try to sound as pained and in agony as possible

rigid crescent
#

you don't, it's your CHOICE to block them

bold parcel
#

^

fleet ice
#

.......

rigid crescent
#

Just like it's my CHOICE to block Knuckles.

#

You're free to not block them or to block them, it's a choice that you're given in VRChat.

fleet ice
#

you missunderstood the topic, the topic was not to have a choice, the topic was to get blocked instantly and losing a trust rank because of this

rigid crescent
#

you won't lose trust rank

fleet ice
#

I DID

rigid crescent
#

How do you know that's why?

bold parcel
#

what are the ways that you lose trust rank then?

umbral reef
#

The admins told you ya didnt ๐Ÿ‘

#

Stop being so dense my dude

rigid crescent
#

they've said "you might see a fluctuation in ranks while we mess with the numbers"

#

it's in the patch blog thing

compact river
#

Getting block a lot does move you twards nuisance im sure that was the whole point of that rank

fleet ice
#

after random block, the next day i was back to known user, and i'm trusted user... and now trusted user again

bold parcel
#

Then it was just an unhappy coincidence

rigid crescent
#

It was most likely a coincidence.

vocal shard
#

you are trusted user

umbral reef
#

@compact river They stated in this chat before that just being blocked does not harm you- The system is made so it cant be abused

vocal shard
#

why do you complain lul

rigid crescent
#

People have witnessed ranks changing, if that one block is what did it, you would've immediately changed rank.

compact river
#

Then how do people get nuisance manually assigned

rigid crescent
#

so, now that your one reasoning is blown out of the water, what now?

umbral reef
#

@compact river Ask the devs GWnanamiLaceShrug As only they know

#

All other users can do is guess

fleet ice
#

because you say it's coincindence without knowing it 100% you think it is blown? lel

vocal shard
#

but it is blown and we know it

rigid crescent
#

and you say it's related without knownig 100%

vocal shard
#

since ruubick confirmed it

#

๐Ÿคท

rigid crescent
#

are you saying that Ruuubick is wrong?

fleet ice
#

then neither nor, but still nothing is blown

bold parcel
#

Sui, chill. this was all a misunderstanding, just check through the update logs

languid beacon
#

Knuckles meme will always be special to me - wouldnโ€™t have found VRChat without it

rigid crescent
#

Suiheisen, an admin told you that you were wrong

#

it's blown

umbral reef
#

Its the reason i stopped playing really lul

fleet ice
#

but in general it doesnt matter, it is still a damn behavior of people to block someone instantly

rigid crescent
#

OH it does matter, trust me. you're wrong and don't want to admit it

compact river
#

Wat?

vocal shard
#

that's not your problem if they block you tho

rigid crescent
#

Yeah, why do you care this much if an absolute stranger blocks you?

vocal shard

Good afternoon

The system prevents that kind of abuse, so it was something else"

now what?

umbral reef

He is going to deny the photo

rigid crescent

nah he's gonna say it's not a real answer

vocal shard

or it's not proof enough

#

or it doesnt matter

rigid crescent
#

yep, he's that kind of individual

vocal shard
rigid crescent
#

The announcement flat out said that we should expect to see changes in the ranks basically randomly.

vocal shard
#

doesnt matter

#

it's racist, man

rigid crescent

lol racist

#

yeah i liked that one

undone perch

I'm here and I made actual popcorn this is great

compact river

Y'all have ptsd

fleet ice

hm why ruuubick was not able to say something like this in my emails? why i have to start is again here until he said different words? weird

rigid crescent
#

Not really.

undone perch
#

In english please

rigid crescent
#

You got an answer, correct? Yes or no question.

compact river
#

Because they do t want people to know the systems so they will say all sorts of things

rigid crescent
#

and that answer tells you that the blocks have nothing to do with your rank change, correct? another yes or no question.

compact river
#

Than are generic af

fleet ice
#

yes, but this don't explain to me why i was 4 days back to known user after blocks

rigid crescent
#

Because the ranking fluctuate

vocal shard
#

anyone have probleme with Standing animation looping with the new sdk ๐Ÿค”

rigid crescent
#

The announcement says that much

umbral reef
#

@fleet ice Why didnt you accept his answer when he gave it GWcfcThonk Same question

vocal shard
#

@vocal shard nope

compact river
#

I have not used a newer sdk in a long time its 2 much work replacing them

rigid crescent
#

You don't need an explanation of why you gained your rank, it doesn't change the fact that the block had nothing to do with it.

vocal shard
#

deleting a folder and reimporting an asset is too much work ?

umbral reef
#

^^

rigid crescent
#

I legitimately know someone with a minimum of 180-ish blocks that had Veteran status. Blocks do not matter, for the most part.

#

or at all possibly

vocal shard
#

i know a dude with 2500 blocks

#

personnaly i jusut downlaod the new sdk and my animation dont work anymore on vrchat

#

still trusted

rigid crescent
#

exactly

compact river
#

Mine is working and im not testing fate

umbral reef
#

@vocal shard Legacy animations?

vocal shard
#

yeah

umbral reef
#

IF so- That aint because of the SDK

fleet ice
#

by the way, befor you start laughing because of the word racists, just look for the definition and compare it with the behaviors of instant blockers

umbral reef
#

But you not reading announcements ๐Ÿ‘€ As its explained somewhere in there

rigid crescent
#

"a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another."

vocal shard
#

legacy animation stopped working since september i believe

#

i never seen that annoncement

rigid crescent
#

You're not another race.

vocal shard
#

OH NO

#

PLz

#

Dont tell me he remove it

umbral reef
#

Its gone gone ye

vocal shard
#

yes

#

Omg

#

legacy animations are gone

#

whyy ??

#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

fleet ice
#

"prejudice against people" is everything what you need to know

vocal shard
#

cuz people exploited it to fuck up the game

#

that retard personnaly

#

no

rigid crescent
#

LOL NO

vocal shard
#

it's a good thing that they removed it

#

the exploit was pretty bad.

#

i use it to just make move myu tail and some object on my character

rigid crescent
#

If someone is racist towards me for the color of my skin, it has massive societal impacts. My whole life can be changed due to people being racist towards my specific ethnic group. I can never EVER change the color of my skin, I can never be another race. There's nothing I can do, and I'm basically stuck with way and have to deal with people that are racist towards me as long as I live.

vocal shard
#

you are supposed to use animators for that

twin jacinth
#

You guys gonna get Ruubick'd again

vocal shard
#

that doesnt require legacy

#

sorry, to bud in... But didn't Ruubick say to move away from the knuckles topic?

rigid crescent
#

on VRChat, if someone blocks me because of my avatar, I am free to change it. there's no societal or real world impact

vocal shard
#

wow rude jamie

rigid crescent
#

Equating knuckles "prejudice" to real racism is actually really rude

vocal shard
#

personnaly i can just see my animation with (lagacy)

fleet ice
#

nvm. this is a fight of different opinions what can never solved

rigid crescent
#

No, you're literally just wrong.

vocal shard
#

if he have a other way show me it lol XD

rigid crescent
#

but whatever

compact river
#

If you wanna be an ass hat changing avatars will not stop people from blocking you tho

#

๐Ÿค”

vocal shard
#

@vocal shard check the #animation channel and look at the pins to switch your legacy animation to normal animation

rigid crescent
#

Absolutely, but at that point it's not based on your looks, it's based solely on personality.

vocal shard
#

Teenosaurus rex

#

@vocal shard if you want to make your tail move for example, you will need to put an animaTOR component on the root of the tail and animate it like you would do with a legacy animation

fleet ice
#

there is nothing wrong, you stopp being social because of prejudices.. this is can be the beginning of racism, and the mainstream is your leading and tell you every day "knuckles are the enemy, just block them" and you follow instead of thinking first

@sterile drift yes and even worse

Again, equating not liking knuckles to racism is actually really rude, it's like equating trust rank to castes.

@sterile drift give one argument besides calling something nonesense

I 100% think before I block a knuckles, I'm in full control.

sterile drift
#

Everything's nonsense for me lmao

worldly comet
#

@fleet ice so, if you know that people hate knuckles and are gonna block you straight away, why are you trying to force it? You obviously can't handle being blocked, so why not use something that the majority of the VRChat community do not hate?

rigid crescent
#

I don't block them because other people do it, I block them because of my experiences wtih them.

sterile drift
#

Also Sui, you don't have to at me for everything.

rigid crescent
#

It's not the same as disliking an entire, real life human race

fleet ice

@sterile drift give an example and give me the argument, come one

it has no real impact

It's mainly to preference. Each has something nice than the other.

If you're wanting the most immersive controllers, go with the rift.
The vive is good for the upgrade path, and the ability to add trackers for full body, or switch to other headsets like pimax down the line

Ok, we get it, you get crashed. I haven't been crashed in months, so not everyone has the same experience

woven stone
#

not "I didnt get crashed for a few days, seems good"

gleaming patio
#

no it definitely shouldnt be like that

#

but it isn't as bad as you re portraying it

#

which is not to say that we can let it slide either

woven stone
#

They are too afraid to ban all of the people having crashes which is like 30% of VRC population

#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

@queen mango i still kinda believe that valve will not make them as expensive as htc did their controllers

#

some kind of faith left

#

i think

#

maybe it's foolish

queen mango
#

Hmm... Aren't they concerned with improving the game?
It's not that crashers are of any value to them...

vocal shard
#

There's more going on behind the scenes... They aren't "being lazy, and just not dealing with the situation"...

gleaming patio
#

i think it's also hard to determine people who cause crashes maybe?

#

not sure

zinc nebula
#

i't also a free game

woven stone
#

@gleaming patio you pull out a gun to show it to your friend

#

yu accidentally shoot your friend

#

you still need to be held accountable for your action

gleaming patio
#

well do you know you cause crashes in the game?

#

can you know

woven stone
#

Thats why there is private instances

#

if you wanna fiddle around with animations and particles

#

and can test it

#

and lets be honest, most crashes are deliberatly caused

gleaming patio
#

it would be good if the game had a way to detect whose avatar caused it

#

so the player can be knocked for it

woven stone
#

would be good if you didn't even have the ability to do it in the first place

gleaming patio
#

evne better, yeah

woven stone
#

give people a way to abuse something and it will be abused

gleaming patio
#

still, i won't like to lose the kind of freedom this thing offers in exchange for it

placid umbra
#

Deliberately crashing someone is obviously against the rules and is bannable

rigid crescent
#

what kind of freedom lol

gleaming patio
#

in avatar creation

rigid crescent
#

what kind of freedom?

#

the type of freedom to make crash particle systems

#

or mesh crashers

#

because there's, to my knowledge, zero application of those things outside crashing.

#

the only freeodom that would be lost is the "freedom" to crash people

gleaming patio
#

but can you filter them out among the valid meshes and valid particle systems?

rigid crescent
#

the difference is worlds apart

gleaming patio
#

often times the difference between exploit and legal input is only a few bytes

rigid crescent
#

uhh

#

do you make avatars?

gleaming patio
#

why

rigid crescent
#

in the nicest way possible, it sounds like you don't know what you're talking about

covert chasm
#

It is obscenely obvious when a particle system/shader has been written for the explicit case of causing perf issues/crashing users

rigid crescent
#

It's like saying we'd be losing a freedom to have 50000000 dynamic bones on an avatar if they proposed a limit.

gleaming patio
#

well i've only practiced IT for 10 years professionaly, so maybe you can tell me

woven stone
#

@covert chasm THANK YOU

rigid crescent
#

oof, that's unfortunate

#

10 years and you aren't able to tell there's a difference

covert chasm
#

If you had the freedom to send whatever packet you'd like, sure, a few bytes swapped around might cause weird stuff, but you don't, so...

queen mango
#

The results should be predictable

rigid crescent
#

There's a very clear line between "some particles that do the thing" to "9999999 particles compressed into a tiny ball"

gleaming patio
#

if it's really only about excessive numbers of things, then it should be easy?

queen mango
#

Not really...

woven stone
#

easy to abuse yes

gleaming patio
#

no i mean easy to limit

#

but i'm sure that's not the only problem

rigid crescent
#

Just like the poly limit and the size limit ecks dee

covert chasm
#

10 years of IT should have taught you that any kind of engineering problem addressable as "easy" is, in fact, never easy ๐Ÿ˜›

woven stone
#

The problem is there is ways to just offset the limites

rigid crescent
#

Still waiting on the removal of the Cloth Physics script :3

woven stone
#

the limits should be hard coded no matter what

gleaming patio
#

i mean imagine there's such a thing as 10 bones parented in a circle and vrchat crashes from it

woven stone
#

and if you need more numbers let the devs give you those

#

and dont fiddle with it yourself

gleaming patio
#

because the IK goes into an endless loop. there's no excessive number of anything

woven stone
#

but why would you need that

#

except for crashing? ๐Ÿค”

gleaming patio
#

exactly, but you would need to have another detection rule for that

#

i think with as complex things as unity scene graphs there are unlimited possibilities of creating invalid data without having excessively much of it

#

while you could probably fend off easy resource exhaustion things like "millions of bones" i'm sure going all the way is fighting windmills

vocal shard
#

talking about possible exploits in public discords is also not the best idea in the world

lusty folio
#

please

woven stone
#

oh please

compact river
#

These are very well know

woven stone
#

its not like everything has already been done

lusty folio
#

everyone who knows how to make an avatar crahser knows anything discussed in here

vocal shard
#

it's stupid

woven stone
#

its stupid that it exists

#

yes

lusty folio
#

its not though

woven stone
#

I 100% agree

lusty folio
#

*not stupid to talk about it

#

for 1 avatar crashers arent even really a problem at this point

woven stone
#

if noone ever talks about it, it never gets adressed

lusty folio
#

the safety system mostly dixed it

placid umbra
#

It's against the rules and it'd be good to stop discussing it in detail.

vocal shard
#

^

lusty folio
#

we're not discussing it in detail

woven stone
#

But when will those things be fixed tho

placid umbra
#

๐Ÿค”

woven stone
#

๐Ÿคท

gleaming patio
#

i was just lamenting on it on a very meta level to be honest

quartz osprey
#

if you know the unity version, just look for the unity optimizations and do the opposite in the script

lusty folio
#

I have been avatar crashed twice in my vrchat lifetime

woven stone
#

Just the basic fundamental problem of it existing is my problem

placid umbra
rigid crescent
#

no one reports is probably one of the big issues

#

it's kind of a pain in the ass after all

woven stone
#

because there is no report feedback

tacit plank
#

They were just discussing invalid data in general, I guess. Staff already knows about these things

woven stone
#

even Dota / league and other toxic games have report feedback

#

it at least tells you "something has been done against ONE person you reported"

#

without a name

gleaming patio
#

how is your policy on finding out possible exploits on the official server (in a controlled environment, friends for example) to report them?

rigid crescent
#

even with it, it's a pain in the ass to do. if you got a reply saying "we got em boys" , it's still a pain to report at all

#

that's why no one does it. they don't know how or they can't be troubled, they want to get back into the game

modern sand
rigid crescent
#

if i'm getting cursed out or see a hacker in Overwatch, click a whole three or four buttons

lusty folio
#

tbh

#

reporting is useless without evidence

woven stone
#

its also problematic that reporting always comes with "DO YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT PROOF" well how, should I run shadowplay 24/7 while playing?

lusty folio
#

they can't ban without proof

woven stone
#

I feel like I have to monitor every second of VRc play

gleaming patio
#

i'm not into security research to be honest, but if i ever stumble upon anything dangerous i would report it in detail

woven stone
#

@lusty folio they can just look into it

lusty folio
#

not really

rigid crescent
#

in VRC, I have to hop out of VR, get on my desktop, grab my output log, find he website, type up the report, then send it

woven stone
#

so if a whole instance crashes, nobody can say how it happened, it just happened?
Can't even try to look into it.

#

like i said, I got back to shadowplay and use that all the time

placid umbra
#

Output log emailed to the mod team

woven stone
#

because its the only way

tacit plank
#

Here is something malicious people could do, add a cloth component with default values.
It's not an exploit, but it's still an issue. Doesn't warrant a report though, since it's common knowledge

woven stone
#

we both know that there are ways to fiddle with the output log

#

and that it is not reliable

gleaming patio
#

is there a good way to trigger shadowplay records from vr?

covert chasm
#

@tacit plank It absolutely warrants a report. If everyone assumes that it is "common knowledge", then it never gets reported.

quartz osprey
#

there is a report button in any world (choose any user andnchoose report to let a mod come into the world your reported from to check what is going on))

compact river
#

Dynamic bones on the hip bone

#

Ooof

rigid crescent
#

I'm like 99% sure that button doesn't work TAnshi

#

like they've said it doesn't do anything lol

gleaming patio
#

ive seen people use it and suddenly a mod jumped in the level

woven stone
#

@gleaming patio I never tried shadowplay with VR

gleaming patio
#

aight

woven stone
#

well that would be a nice change of pace

gleaming patio
#

i've actually seen in happening in person to be honest

tacit plank
#

Too many of any component is an issue, too big textures are an issue, avatars with huge filesizes are an issue, avatars with too many dyanamic bones are an issue, etc, etc, etc.
If the staff has uploaded any avatars themselves, they will know most issues

covert chasm
#

Sure, but how much is too many components? How big is "too big"? How huge is "too huge"? What issues? What happens? How many dynamic bones?

#

You've done the research, you know the numbers. No harm in reporting.

#

It helps us out ๐Ÿ˜›

tacit plank
#

Less obvious ones were reported though, like people putting scrips on avatars a while back, and using cameras, and using animations to bypass SDK limitations

covert chasm
#

even if its redundant, which it often is-- it helps

rigid crescent
#

Some semi-official numbers would be nice. We already know that 40 is the "suggested" max on dynamics just from the public worlds declined due to it

glass yacht
#

erm... avatar crashes ARE in fact still a very real issue, some have found way to crash others even with the new system,, and I have seen shader effects eye rape my screen several times in the pug from people I have even blocked for being disruptive

woven stone
#

but for real, one question, why don't you hard force the limitations the SDK has atm ?

vernal jacinth
#

Not even

#

@glass yacht

tacit plank
#

And that's a good point too. To begin with, you could add limits to these things, but keep the limits relatively high. For example, if an avatar is above 100MB there's obviously something wrong

vernal jacinth
#

Or at least in my experience

rigid crescent
#

No to the shader thing, but yes, even with the trust system crashing is possible

#

100%

gleaming patio
#

yeah shader effects that go throughough the whole level are still used pretty frequently

glass yacht
#

you have been lucky then

rigid crescent
#

that was most likely an issue with your settings or with the trust system applying those settings

gleaming patio
#

i hate the ones that make you go sick (in vr at least)

vernal jacinth
#

Oh yes

#

ofc there are bypasses to the safety systme

woven stone
#

@rigid crescent its possible for people to just turn off your Trust settings

compact river
#

Im also wondering why the limits in the sdk are not inforced server side?

tacit plank
#

I don't know the cloth values, but I've heard that the default update rate is set super high

woven stone
#

@compact river exactly what I mean

gleaming patio
#

there are bypasses to the safety system?

quartz osprey
#

Lock audio assets etc to the rank level i would say (server sided check)

vernal jacinth
#

pretty much

#

They fixed it

#

but a while ago

#

I can't explain it much

#

since you wouldn't understand much

rigid crescent
#

lol

gleaming patio
#

try me

woven stone
#

@gleaming patio I wont go into detail, but yes, its possible to offseit it completely

#

thats all i have to say to this issue

rigid crescent
#

you can already turn off audio assets by rank

vernal jacinth
#

^

gleaming patio
#

well, go into detail towards tupper then

#

or something

rigid crescent
#

i have them all off by default on everyone but friends most of the time, never heard a single peep unless i chose to

tacit plank
#

That's a thing which should be reported, I think

quartz osprey
#

i mean even from being able to upload them through the sdk...

tacit plank
#

But I don't feel that reporting helps much, Tupper. I reported an avatar stealer back in January. He also teleported people and copied usernames. It took over half a year before it was fixed still

vernal jacinth
#

lo

#

lol*

#

the main problem right now is people getting logged out

#

Which is being fixed right now

tacit plank
#

That issue is also months old

vernal jacinth
#

mhm

#

but people find more and more ways though

#

that's why it's sort of hard to patch

tacit plank
#

It's just invalid RPC calls isn't it?

vernal jacinth
#

um pretty much

woven stone
#

Modified clients in itself are a problem

vernal jacinth
#

^

woven stone
#

why are they local

kind anchor
#

anyone having issues on login and getting timed out atm?

tacit plank
#

Clients trust other clients too much right now I guess
