    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    Hello. This is an announcement post regarding a recent private report against the user @Sdjlakjh, who was previously temporarily banned recently regarding racially insensitive comments made on-site. Sdjlakjh's ban has been extended indefinitely after an investigation into numerous instances of...

    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    Refrain from cluttering the RVRT, everyone. I believe what needs to be said has been said. I can't evaluate this matter thoroughly at the moment, but other staff should be able to provide their input shortly, and it will only be easier if they have less posts to go through.

    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    I don't really have the time to attend to this situation at this moment, but I've deleted the offending comment and the replies containing it. I think this is a fairly obvious rule violation, but unless it's not been handled by the time I'm available, I'll leave this matter to the other...

    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    I've been asked to comment here regarding the issue with Robo432343. Looking at Robo's history broadly, as well as the previous time Robo was reported for similar issues, I would prefer to opt for a strict warning before a thread ban or similar restriction on creating versus threads. As far as...

    Lifting Strength, Tier 11, & Tier 0

    Not really. But, just to give some basis for discussion - if we are describing a character who is physically incapable of lifting mass as we think of it due to the nature of their existence being qualitatively inferior, "Inutile" might be a worthwhile description for their lifting strength...

    Lifting Strength, Tier 11, & Tier 0

    Could you elaborate? I think it's fairly apt, actually, to say that someone lifting something on a qualitatively superior plane is 'Immeasurable', given that we can't measure that form of lifting within the definitions of mass present in the lower plane. Comparatively, describing lifting...

    Lifting Strength, Tier 11, & Tier 0

    I don't mind this suggestion. The lifting strength page is strangely vague on what exactly is meant to qualify as "Inapplicable", but beside that, it just seems useful to distinguish the lifting strength of something on qualitatively inferior planes with something beyond qualitative...

    As said, this is outside the scope of the RVRT. If you have specific thoughts on this matter, you may contact me privately. Further replies on this topic will be deleted.

    I'm uncertain what exactly you're suggesting, and the topic is likely beyond the scope of the RVRT. You may contact me privately if you have specific thoughts to offer, but as Damage said, do be aware that we are only authorities over the management of this website.

    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    The recent report that led to this announcement was about 2 days ago. This all being said - if the main contention here has been resolved, further questions or comments are unnecessary. Mr. Bambu's post above was only to announce the verdict reached in the private report, not to invite further...

    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    One of Artorimachi's previous Discord accounts was hacked around that date, yes. However, this is not relevant to the offenses in question. While the evidence was provided privately and should stay this way, this conduct was observed across both his old account (before the time he was hacked)...

    The Unexplored Summon:// Blood Sign Clarifications for the Summoners

    I have no input to provide on the CRT itself, but I don't understand why this was closed and applied so quickly. Our rules still dictate a 48 hour grace period for anything other than self-evident revisions, which doesn't seem to be the case here. Nothing needs to be reverted, but it should at...

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    I am very busy at the moment, and I have been for some time. But I recognise I have been called to give input on the discussion, that the discussion has progressed quite a bit, and that my thoughts are to be expected. I will make time to read through what has been said and provide my thoughts...

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 8): Miscellaneous AP Revisions + Some Abilities

    I would think so, yes. The quote implies not having an ID makes the entity the same across all parallel universes.
  20. DarkGrath

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 8): Miscellaneous AP Revisions + Some Abilities

    Yeah, this makes sense. I have no issue with Type 3 Acausality, then. I would recommend just updating the sandbox to add a justification/link to that particular quote for the Acausality section - something along the lines of "As Demihumans do not have IDs like other living entities, their...

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 8): Miscellaneous AP Revisions + Some Abilities

    Much love to you too, for all your hard work while I've been busy. Could you quote exactly when this Happy Chaos quote occurs, and which part of the wiki page you're referring to? Just for referencing sake. This doesn't ultimately sound like Omnipresence to me, whether spatial or temporal. I...

    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    I've mentioned before that our rules on proxying are loose and should probably be specified further for cases like these. But that's a topic for another time, not the RVRT. For now, I think it's fine to just say directly copy-pasting from a banned member shouldn't be allowed - since it has the...

    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    I mentioned this off-site, but I'll briefly mention it here since it's still on the topic and I know it confused a few people. Mad Dog of Fujiwara was able to post on her message wall due to the block parameters I set up when I put it down. Specifically, I never ticked the side option that...

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 8): Miscellaneous AP Revisions + Some Abilities

    This is mostly fine, but the Omnipresent rating for the Nightless is a bit questionable. The source says that they are "dwellers of infinite timelines", but this doesn't necessarily imply their forms encapsulate the entirety of these timelines - just that they exist in each of them.

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 7): A New Set of God Tiers

    I've been asked to provide input here. I think a "Likely Low 1-C" would have been more suitable to clean up the rough edges and ambiguities that have been brought up thus far with the scaling. But I'd rather not be a pedant over what is a decent enough justification overall. I wouldn't oppose a...

    Caption Every Staff Member's Profile Pictures

    An idea I had that I briefly discussed off-site. Send your funniest captions for staff member's profile pictures. Play around with the idea, and whatever the profile picture makes you think of. It doesn't have to be a staff member's PFP, but distinctiveness gets points (according to me, the...

    Touhou Discussion Thread 3 ⌈Eternal Fantasy Edition⌋

    By that guideline, it should be fine. It would be hard to imagine even strictly enforcing such a concept - generally speaking, CRTs are built on publicly accessible information provided in any given verse. Preventing people from using information provided by banned users in CRTs would be...

    Touhou Discussion Thread 3 ⌈Eternal Fantasy Edition⌋

    Our rules do specifically disallow sockpuppeting and account sharing, but they aren't so specific on proxying - i.e.: still having an independent account but directly using a banned user's statements in your own. I believe past cases of similar issues have largely been handled by rough...

    When I first saw multiple members in a short sequence with Butler's PFP, I was wondering if it was an error on my browser.

    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    Hello. Synnian contacted me off-site regarding an appeal to his ban, which I'm aware was brought up as a topic in this thread yesterday. The evidence on the matter has been discussed privately among a few administrators. This is an announcement to say the original accusations have been cleared...

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    I'll note that the proposal doesn't make this form of separation between what is allowable on the forum and what is allowable on-site. But with a detailed justification, I would at least hear out a suggestion for an addendum to the proposal along these lines.

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    This is decidedly not true. Two images showing the exact same amount of skin - in this case, a depiction of someone in a dress with an underboob - can be taken as drastically more or less sexual depending on the other elements that constitute the image and the context of the image. Framing our...

    Proposal for Site/Forum Image Standards Revision

    I've largely explained why I do not think this is accurate. Beyond the practical concerns I raised (which is still relevant to our framing of the rules), there is a more directly pertinent point. Two things can be very similar in their surface-level content, but interpreted very differently by...

    Guilty Gear Scaling Revision (Part 5): Scaling to Dragon Install Sol + A Low 1-C Thing I Forgot

    Looks good for the most part. Though I'd like to ask - considering that both of them get scaling via the bullets fired by Happy Chaos, why is Chipp listed as "At least Continent level, possibly Dwarf Star level to Small Star level" while Anji is listed as "At least Continent level, possibly far...
