It is amazing what one can learn about others in their reaction to stress or displeasure. There are many upper level people who gang up on anyone who wishes to exercise their VR rights. It is alarming, to say the least, how many Sires came 2 give me a 1 on the say so of another, without even asking me my side. many Sires and others made an unreasonable rash of detrimental overemotional reactions to stress, conflict, and simple disagreement blown way out of proportion because of a lack of ability to control their emotions.
The only Sire that has actually contacted me recently is Aracon. She is the only one that came 2 me with a message and did not rashly rate me a one.The Sire that disappointed me the most was LadykrystalynDarkstar. I was shocked when she participated with the rating one party raid. It is gang up mob mentality that intimidates newbies into conforming or else. That defeats the point in coming here 2 be yourself. This information that each of you revealed will certainly give administration a heads up about who can be trusted to react with class and diplomacy on behalf of VR. Even Saetan refrained from her usual mob rate of 1, it was a 6, so that is a slight improvement. So,thanks for your recent revelations of your true natures. Administration shall note this problematic behavior toward newbies.
YOURS TRULY,
THE MIDNIGHT REPORTER
Well now apparently ladySnowStrixx has come to me for the same issue as Oceanne , but was way nicer about it btw.
Below is my response:
It isn't revenge rating. It is a statement that it is wrong for the upper levels to have double standards about rating. I read the manual. It clearly states that my rate, is exactly that my rate. Who r u to dictate how I should respond, whether u think it revenge or childish or whatever. The bottom line is u shouldn't dish out what you can't take. For some people rating may not be based on their profile. That is the right of that person as it is for u to get upset about nothing really.
Let us look at it as the base roots. I am new and decided how I was going to rate way back before u ever rated me low. It is my policy. So, can u remove em for a emotions for a minute and see it logically. K, so u give me a whatever, so I give u a whatever. Then u r mad at my for my whatever/response.
If getting less than a 10 should upset u this much, perhaps u should always rate a 10. Then no one will give u less as well, therefore creating a situation for you to never be upset about it.
And don't always assume someone is doing something out of revenge, such narrow thinking. I only hope that u can understand the statement I am trying 2 make ? To me it is just that cut and dry.
And if u r so sensitive u may want 2 wait to rate a profile after it gets completed, instead of lunging,like 200 users do at the noobs. But no u want 2 anyway, then rate em low and tell them 2 message for a rerate. That is dumb. It is kinda holier than though actually, and presumptuous and without consideration for if the other person wants 2 ask u 2 come back, seems redunadant though. I guess some people have a lot more time to spend here than others ;
and should be reasonable when others don't have their same philosophy, or rating style, or profile volume, or whether u want 2 their ass kiss or not, etc...
FUCK THAT
SORRY,
It just seems RIDICULOUS to me

Hello witchelfqueen,
I am sure you have noticed that your rating has dropped over 200+ points.I want you to know that I will continue to drop it until it reaches a rating of 6 or therabouts unless you do a little rethinking,ignore your silly pride and employ a little bit of self discipline in regards to this little matter.
I gave you a 6 because you were not finished with your page.As I had posted,I would have been happy to come back and rerate once you had updated.Instead ,you got pissed off and revenge rated me.Im sorry,but I dont play that game and normally what I do when someone does that is just what I am systematically now doing to you.My rate alone lowered you 200 points and I am well equipped with my guardians and more than willing to send them over unless YOU choose to end this here and now.And IF you make the stupid move of blocking me or whining to someone about this little mess YOU have gotten yorself into?? You will end up with a blocking penalty so heavy that you will have to self delete in order to ever level up.
So,heres the deal.You rate my page fairly and I will lift these ones and not sick the dogs on you.I will also rerate your page as I would have done in the first place if you ahd simply asked me to.
I'll be waiting....

II. Second message from Oceanne and my response on top.
Message To: Oceanne
All I did was give u what u gave me. Don't dish it out if u can't take it

I do not feel that you are a bad person,and I think that ou will become a good memeber here.however in this situation I do feel your anger and lack of self control got the better of you.I really dont find any pleasure in doing what I have to sometimes to make a point or show one that they really do not need to go the route that you did.And that actually,and to show that for you continue to do so would be detrimental.
But as you see,I will if I must.I will even go as far as inducting you when you finally get to level 20,blinding you and turning you into a favor whore.Thing is,I am almost always willing to forgive and yes,forget something like this and in truth,I have even become friends with some who have started off on the wrong foot with me as you have.So it isnt like tis whole situation in unsalvagable.Its just up to you to make the right decision and do the right thing to end this little dramaffest.

Me again,lol
YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME
WHAT A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT
I have the right to rate however I want,just as everyone else. We all have block buttons 4 a reason, and why should I ask u 2 come back 2 my page for a re rate when u wouldn't wait until I was done making my profile. It seems unreasonable. I know there r forced inductions, but bullying people only hurts this palce and this is why alot of pople delete. I am not like them
EVIL GRIN
I am a BRING IT type person.
My first bit if drama was Rainbow telling people I wanted in his coven, now this, u peeps r funny.
Well, I have 2 be me, rebellious, defiant and a warrior.
So,
CATCH ME IF U CAN
:P

Hon, you say that you're new to VR but you speak as if you've been here before. Not many new people would have the brass to write in their journal what you have freely admitted. That can be a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing. Just a heads up though and this is merely advice. The upper levels, the sires, the immortals can either make you or break you. We've been here much longer than most and if you've noticed, most are lifetime members which means that they're not going anywhere. They're here for life and another heads up... if you don't play 'nice' now and you get inducted into any coven, then that Sire/Coven Master may make your VR life very difficult, but in saying that, some Coven Master may not either. It's a catch 22 situation for all new members really. If a new member is wise they'd hold back a little until they're better known in regards to their personality and character. Just some advice that I, myself have learned the hard way.
I guess I have always been someone that speaks their mind. I had no idea that would get you crucified here,lol. It won't stop me from doing it either. I have to be me.

Thank you for your entry in regards to my contact with you. I'm the type of person that if I've got a question, I'll come straight to you for an answer. I never presume, I don't hold grudges and I try to be as respectful as I can, when I can, depending upon the situation at hand. What most don't realise here is that this is the internet and most people are just names on the net. Some people just take VR too seriously and that's a shame really because it could be a much better community network if they'd just let things go sometimes!

I do not partake of drama if I can get out of it. I saw no reason to rate you a 1. The only reason you got a 6 instead of a 10 was because I did not see a whole lot about yourself on your profile, instead it was about the recent drama. I saw no reason "to gang up on you" and I believe you are correct in exercising your right to rate how you want. That is how you are supposed to rate. I support that and there is nothing in the TOS against it. Your profile otherwise was pretty good, even though I personally did not care for the drama. Not going to jump on your case for that.
