The OOC Room
Posted: Mon Nov 26, 2012 7:38 pm
I wish I could scream. Rant. Rave. Bitch. Moan. Whine. I can, but I doubt that would get me further then more posts in the same vein.
The OOC ROOM has turned into Romper Holiday. The only good thing that comes out of it anymore is when you leave.
We have four sets of individuals that visit the OOC room. Ready?
1: Those that are working nearly non-stop and need an avenue to advertise this fact.
2: Those that enjoy passing along links of pictures, games, funnies, news, politics, big-foot sightings and music.
3: Those that need to spend their time while at work, knowing whats going on and pointing out how bored they are and can't do anything, because they are at work!
4: Pseudo rp.
I spend 90% of my day when I come in, fielding drama. This is not a made up number. This is a problem. I get to spend 10% actually helping. I spend my day, stressed to high hells. Waiting, waiting for Jaws to circle back around. And suddenly the music gets louder and I feel his teeth on my body! OH MY GOD ITS HIM AGAIN!
I have never been this stressed in an environment that was meant to ask questions of and get help of, an Op.
And if its not enough to have the drama and chaos and back biting and echoing of highschool days there, it gets brought to the Board from there. Drama to renounce drama is still drama.
So. I'm done. My rope is reached. This is not a drill. The sirens are only a text echo of the past.
If it cannot be utilized in an adult fashion, if the bitching, whining, moaning, groaning, dripping of sarcasm at Ops when your told to take it elsewhere or it isn't needed there, doesn't stop, and you don't have much time to stop it, I'm going to have it removed from pubic loitering and all you'll be able to do is pop in, ask your question and get out.
I used to support the use of the room as a venting avenue. Now I think its just a loitering tool to be anything but, adults. I like to share links to, have a thoughtful conversation, speak of the game, laugh, tell jokes.. I don't actually go in there to get rude with anyone and yet, inevitably, I have to do a babysitters job and tell folks to shut up and sit down and then all I ever hear after they are told to do so, is further whining.
Clean it up. That place has three strikes and its out. This means, any further drama perpetuated by that room, is a strike. Until you are out of strikes.
One Op stated 95% of our problems would be over if we dumped the channel. I am going to agree with that assessment here and now.
