ChocoJournal Drama

From GFWiki

If you didn't know already, Gamingforce has this unique feature called the ChocoJournal.

[edit]

Drama

There's this rule, see. The rule says that the journals belong to the members; that the members are responsible for moderating their own journal. Staff won't touch it, provided it doesn't grossly cross the boundaries of law.

This makes for some interesting reads, naturally. The journal is a place to let it all out without fear of moderation. And sometimes, members use this right to vent about the forums. Consequently, people see or hear about the rantings of a particular member and are drawn to take a look at the internet equivalent of a really bad accident.

Usually, the more drama-intense journals rack up plenty of comments and sometimes a little war will break out in the comments (which makes it all the more like a horrible accident on the highway.) At this point, everyone has to stop by and look.

Most notable journal drama whores would be Seris, Devolution7, Sassafrass, Tails, Divest and Pangalin.

Sometimes, you get journal whores - who by themselves (with or without intention) cause journal drama themselves.

Notable mentions: Eurydice, DarkWingedAngel, Simply Majestic, and Legion.

Sir VG makes a journal entry about his 5-month-old niece, and somehow Denicalis joins the legion of members barred from the journal after apparently teasing Lady Miyomi in the comments section. He makes a particularly vitriolic journal entry (http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/journal.php?action=view&amount=single&userid=27&entryid=5663) in return, which leads to the usual barrage of pedo jokes. Meanwhile, Sir VG makes another entry lashing out at the general population of GFF, including an accusation that Crash Landon was receiving bribes from Merv Burger to overlook his trolling activities. After a few hours and a couple dozen comments from the few members not on his banlist such as Devo, CHz, Furby and Encephalon (who was promptly banned), Sir VG disables his journal and blanks out his wiki entry.

Colonel Skills and Merv Burger troll Lady Miyomi's journal (http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/journal.php?action=view&amount=single&userid=796&entryid=872) comments, which leads to Yamamanama calling out the entirety of Team Awesome in his own journal (http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/journal.php?action=view&amount=single&userid=78&entryid=919). Tails responds with an entry (http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/journal.php?action=view&amount=single&userid=104&entryid=920), which leads to a free-for-all involving Team Awesome, Qwarky, Kensaki, LeHah and Lord Styphon. Meanwhile CHz bans the first 4000 GFF members from his journal, Qwarky berates Team Awesome (particularly Merv Burger) in his entry (http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/journal.php?action=view&amount=single&userid=16&entryid=923), and peeack parodies (http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/journal.php?action=view&amount=single&userid=443&entryid=928) Yamamanama.

The drama died out in a few hours, with some (http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/journal.php?action=view&amount=single&userid=2194&entryid=935) late (http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/journal.php?action=view&amount=single&userid=27&entryid=936) entries (http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/journal.php?action=view&amount=single&userid=1512&entryid=943) from Kensaki, Denicalis and Pangalin respectively.
