Here's a curse video I was tasked to share like in the movie: The Ring or else... Someone recently told me to use video content for You Tube. I've had premium You Tube and a channel since 2014. I just never felt inspired to create much. I primarily used it for research. But I do occasionally create content to share. Now someone on Deviant art gifted me this video by Gabby priced at $15 so I downloaded it to my channel and marked it unlisted to exclusively embed it here on this journal. Watcher's beware lest you be pussified. My favorite one in the video was the cheerleader that said she was going to beat up whoever posted that spell on her locker or maybe just slap them really hard. lol Well I've shared it.
I'm quite sure some peeping tom will watch it from those Anonymous Users Online not unlike the ones on the VR CHAT marked as anonymous. You have to set it up as an administrator to make it a private channel to exclude them or block certain ones. Same is true of your journal with upiori that you can encrypt and only make it for those with the password. Now I'm not sure because I haven't actually read another's journal but based on those first twisted and baited words on open journal page I suspect some attention whore is casting shade my way. Like I wrote in my profile I don't need to block people to snub them. They feel the need to express themselves its cool. Be you bitch. I don't need to control the narrative and edit what I see. It just doesn't interest me. I'm also not insecure to need the power of anonymity to look at others like those that log off and read journals. If I see something I'm curious about I just look and have no problem with the other knowing about it. Same obviously goes with commenting about it however I choose to express my opinion or not. I'm sure there are gossipmongers on this site that get off on journals such as these especially if they are butthurt already about me and need a fellow whiner to collude with. Misery does desire company and give him the attention he craves. Maybe even lie and stroke his ego to get him riled up. Not too many "Tree" huggers around here. :( Personally, I just think the guy is a fellow empath that really hasn't gained mastery over himself yet and is picking up all the female mindsets on this site rather than his own masculine personality. This creates all kinds of insecurity issues that motivate them to act out. I think he needs to do a lot of journal work to get himself sorted out and separated from what he is not. I Like the message Sakis Tolis says toward the end of this song.
Spent a lot of time today in messaging. I'm going to have to discipline myself to either not respond or just tell another I'm busy. I already spend a lot of time in lurk mode so I don't get distracted but perhaps I should just tell them I'm busy. I do have a lot of content to work on in my coven to get prepped for my referrals in the future. I can delegate some authority tasking others with that though.

A few weeks after I joined VR you asked me if I lurked from the outside. I said yes. I didn't see the point of signing in to read blogs. Now I don't sign in because I often get messages telling me how shit I am. I think fuck that I'm not dealing, so I don't log in until I feel like seeing what's in that box of delights.
My point is that people have reasons for not wanting to sign in and even then, who cares what they get up to? It's hardly trying to crack someone's profile password, is it? Lurking?
Another one is logging in and getting seen. Someone sends a message, and you don't answer — and then they spam with loads of angry messages and F-Us because you left without answering. I've had that sometimes.

I suppose it comes down to how you deal with things. A lot of people craft lies to explain what they want to hide. You'd be surprise just how much I sense that in every interaction with people. People don't exactly like the fact that they are naked and exposed and would much rather be told the sweet lies and flattery. When they are presented with someone that looks into their soul past their mask they deal with it in different ways. A narcissist will react with manipulation because their personality has developed that way often from trauma in their youth and can't deal with seeing their true selves so spend all their energy crafting a mask. They can get quite creative in that endeavor all empowered by that need to hide from what they can't face and keep the illusion . In Jungian Psychology it mentions they almost never change to work on true healing as they would rather double down with more manipulation to get what they want. Threats of suicide, smear campaigns to ruin reputations, more convincing lies to explain things and all kinds of manipulation. I have found it is one of the chief challenges to deal with on this site. One of the biggest supporters of narcissists is empaths. There's a lot of those on this site as it's tied to vampirism if they develop and trigger the deeper aspects. When they sense the other they do what they can do feed the mask. But then you have all these empaths all dancing to the tunes of a few narcissists. There's a whole mob of them here like lemmings striving to fit in. Now some empaths evolve and see what's going on like me. We are not liked. That's okay this vampire lord will be here and endure the haters and manipulation games for the sake of those that will need help. In the meantime my need to feed grows and I'll do some hunting according to my personal code not the status quo of so many manipulated by the strings of their masters that has fucked this site all up.
Yes I'm relearning about good management of my time. I actually don't get that many messages so when I did and I see them I tend to respond. I should also mention that another tool of the narcissist is "love bombing". They shower you with affection in different forms then manipulate you against certain people. Take a good look around the behavior on this site. The poetry, music, art and confessions of love etc. and all in a PG-13 setting. *SMH* Anyway, yeah I need to manage my time better and prioritize work rather than answering messages. I've dealt with those that are cowards and create profiles with the purpose of smearing your reputation and being a nuisance with blocks, downrates, and journals with nasty comments. Then an admin has to suspend them but like vandals that paint graffit it takes a while for it to fade or get painted over. The blocks stay for a month and the downrates for as long as the site and your profile remains. I think it's just wise to adapt to building a tolerance to it. I see it as a price to pay for the better aspects of this site. It does try my patience at times and need breaks from the site. But I can hang.
I think there is a difference in lurking and those that need to hide their actions by logging off. It's not like your activity isn't recorded in lurk mode you are just not seen as online. Anytime you go to a journal it is recorded in last ten feature. If you go to a profile you appear there and on dashboard. Not so if you are logged off then look at things where you are hidden and unrecorded by site mechanics. I have been trying to give comments with my activity rather than just something done in secret. Like with honor, Stream posts and journal comments. Yes I do tend to give anonymous honor because I don't really see my name carrying much weight on the site but I've been trying to change that now as a sire and society master. But I have never taken honor anonymously which is cowardly to my code. If I give a thumbs down in Stream I own up to it. Others seem to not like it but fuck them they need to learn to deal with it or just fucking block me.

Masks are essential online. A boundary. A statement. It says if you're not invited past it, don't pry and when people do, you've proven the point why it's there in the first place. Perhaps not in all cases. It's still a red flag.
I understand some are happy to be open online, I'm not. I want that ability to be anonymous, to feel I have a level of privacy. I'm not an open book in life or online and anyone expecting me to be unwillingly isn't going to get near me. I afford others the same reasoning.
I find it quite liberating to come from behind my mask now and again, although then you end up in the position of royally fucking yourself in your own ass when the fallouts and recriminations start.
Do you need to look into a person's soul just to reply on a website?
When you said:
"Take a good look at the behavior on this site. The poetry, music, art and confessions of love etc. and all in a PG-13 setting."
What do you mean?
When you say:
"I don't really see my name carrying much weight on the site, but I've been trying to change that now as a sire and society master."
Aside from the admins, we're a bunch of bloggers. Your name won't alter anything however it's perceived, will it? Am I missing something?
My levels have gone back up btw, after I posted in the stream, a wolf was enough. I need to remember to post regularly there. Thank you for reminding me.

To me it depends on how they are used. I strive to respect the boundaries people set unless they abuse it or need a gentle nudge to pull them out. Sometimes it's just about waiting on them to mature.
I'm not happy being open but the alternative is worse to me and sets a bad example for others. I obviously thinks its stupid to share sensitive data like your credit card or social security number but when its about who you are then it gets to be problematic. Yeah if they don't share and don't respond to gentle coaxing then it best to be patient and just stay by them even when they act out.
Being vulnerable requires trust and is needed to form a true connection but then when you have a falling out its used against you and hurts deeply. I agree you need to guard your heart but how one does that is not always a good way and good for everyone.
This is a vampire website. The home page read thus: "Vampire Rave is the social networking website for vampires and goths. We are a home for real vampires around the globe. If you're looking for a darker gothic or vampire social network, you've found it. I think the standard of what that means is different than normal.
I mean this site is open to 13 year old youths and up. I kind of feel like I'm addressing them in my writing style at any given moment out of consideration. People tend to forget that when they are posting their shit. Its easy to escalate and then they may be hurt in the process. Now what constitutes safe content for that age is up to different people. I know I was subject to some very brutal things when I was young. I think it did permanent damage so try not to repeat it. Though its a hard balance to keep especially to HLV which usually are exposed to abuse that made them dark. In this case the site is like a primer to help them work through it in a safe way rather than repeat it.
This a a social network. Some relationships are strictly online while others develop outside of it on more personal levels and that may even include the metaphysical to kindred who have that aspect. You can demonstrate who you are by how you act on this site. For vampires there are hidden depths. In some ways the things you see in movies like Underworld are actually taking place right now on this site especially dealing with different factions.
Don't forget you don't actually need to post a graphic but can just comment on another post to get the bonus. It doesn't need to be in the default setting that plays out in the present but you can type in search by user and comment on old ones too.
