OK, so this has been an ongoing "problem" for quite some time in my opinion. I've seen many people on many occasions make aggressive poems about other people (not named) in what I can only take as an attempt to make the other person look bad and get people on your side. And yes, you're not calling someone out by name, but they will know who they are, and they will mostly likely not enjoy it. Meanwhile, other people will hear your side of the story of some kind of drama that you felt you had to make public. Have you asked this person if it's ok to write a poem about them in such a way? Were they ok with it? Would you be happy if someone wrote a poem like that about you? Was this so important it had to be made public? If you said no to any of these 4 questions, then no, I don't think it was right to post your poem.
They wronged you? Does that mean you have to pull everyone else in on the drama train? I'm not calling anyone out, and I'm not putting anyone at fault, these are my own opinons on the matter, and I just don't like these kinds of poems. They are hateful and mean, and even if I haven't had the displeasure of having one directed at me yet, I still feel affected every time I read one, and every time I see people encouraging it. There are moderators on this forum, me included. And in-game, me not included. If you have a problem with someone and legit think they've taken it too far, take it up with the moderators. And if it's something minor, take it up with the person in question. And if you feel the need to write a poem about it, do it for yourself. Don't make yourself feel better at the cost of another persons feelings.
Just cause you and someone else don't see eye to eye, doesn't mean you should do your best to hurt that persons feelings. Now, I know this might seem corny, but it hasn't always been like this. When I first started out, and for quite a while after, we never really saw things like this. I'm sure people argued, and I'm sure there was drama. But people didn't try to publically shame others. Now, I am going to talk with my fellow moderators about this. But I sincerely ask people to stop posting these poems, wether or not it's allowed shouldn't matter.
