FYI folks, the mods are watching us again and removed a post for linking to NSFW pics. So please again, be mindful of what you post.

A good caution, R2. Just be mindful of posting any pics. As I stated earlier, I got hit with a warning point for posting a picture that was considered to be spam.

Amen to that.

Yes, it's good to be mindful in general. Their general policy on spam is that they don't want posts that are just pictures without also words. For NSFW, it's apparently not ok to even just link to it with a warning, which actually used to be ok. Still not ok to post NSFW pic with img tags, with or without spoiler tags. General rule of thumb: kids browse this forum.

Don't worry. You'll have plenty of company - awesome company at that! Lol! *hops on hell-bound party train*

Also apparently you can't post links to your personal instagram/social media accounts...I had a vengeful person (I just pointed out they were wrong about something and they got mad) go through my posts and flag that, hence my single warning post :T just mentioning it because I never would have guessed that without the warning.

I've always found it strange that when you disagree with someone on the Internet; they go rifling through your profile and posts. I've watched commenters drag someone's previous posts or a person's kid into it. Like you can't debate respectfully without being a creeper? That just boggles my mind.

Ehh don't worry about it *hugs* Warnings are pretty pointless around here; not sure if it's still the case, but some of the worst people would be friends with the mods (not BW devs, just the modders of this forum) and they'd get them to warn and ban folks left and right. Or two people would be in a disagreement; one would be civil and even-tempered, the other would be hurling insults. Both would get banned lol But obviously the one thing we don't want happening is the thread getting closed. Luckily this thread has weathered some of the worst of the worst, including the great Porn Spam of... 2014? I want to say 2014 lol but might've been 2015.

I actually stopped using Twitter because of BSN trolling awfulness, so yeah.

Not that I'm exactly the biggest fan of NSFW stuff, but don't you have to be 18+ to enter the site anyway? If so, makes that particular rule seem odd. 

 

EDIT: Speaking of spam... sorry, three posts in a row ~_~;;

Then there was the NDA breach someone brought into our thread that got it shut down fof a day.

Do you mean a Twitter debate would have these people looking you up and coming into BSN and then they'd use what they found here as an "argument"?

No, I just discovered people were talking about me on Twitter, and also someone did get their twitter account hacked I think at one point? There was just a lot of bullying going on over on Twitter. 

 

It all made me very, very nervous because my Twitter is semi-professional, so I just backed out of the whole thing. Now I only use Twitter sparingly and for professional stuff.

I don't think so. There are no safe guards, since you can browse without having an account, for example. But at least devart links were fine since it has its own mature filters.

As has been mentioned, my biggest concern is the whole thread getting closed. again. But more rule breaking means more oversight, which is never good. The rules are always hard to interpret and are interpreted individually by every moderator for every individual situation. So all we have to go on is how they have been applied in the past. If I have one more conversation about what exactly constitutes NSFW…

Ah, yes, those were dark days, my friend. Hopefully things will stay more sane now that's it's off-season again.

One Day Before Peace Talks
Denerim
Ferelden

Cullen awoke to the sound of heavy footsteps approaching his cell again and so he did his best to crawl to his feet and face his captor with dignity. He groaned as every nerve ending protested and rubbed dried blood off his face from where he had fallen. A day later and he still hurt from head to toe, inside and out, even though Ten had not laid a finger on him physically.

Cullen had no idea what had been done to him, only that the experience set his own senses jangling with a dull ache like the pangs of lyrium withdrawal. Whoever this man with the silver eyes was, his abilities had unsettling similarities to things Cullen had only seen hints of during his templar training.

Cullen braced himself for another round, but today the approaching footsteps were different and yet uniquely familiar. They were the sounds of tramping feet he had heard his entire life long. The clank of iron-shod boots. The swish of tabards and long skirts brushing on stairs. The rattle of plate armor, steel blades and hard shields. When they finally turned the corner and approached his cell, he was already expecting templars. What he was not expecting was the Lord Seeker.

*raises hand* Twitter hack was me as well as my devart! I'm laughing now that we gauge time here by events that required mod intervention. We should get a trophy for "Weirdest Thread Content".

This story         If any of you have not yet read it, I highly recommend it be added to your "lazy summer days" reading list. 

[SamaraDraven]

I plan to! As soon as I'm done with my Hobbit fic, R2's story is next on my list. I don't want to color my own story with someone else's influence by accident so I've been keeping away from the fanfic.

That is pathetic, isn't it? "Aw, this is nothing compared to THAT horrible thing that happened in the thread that one time." sigh. It's a sign we've been here too damn long. LOL

And I just so happen to be enjoying a morning cuppa, too! ^___^ But Cullen makes it look sexier. >;}

I have alerts for your story enabled so I know when you post. It sucks but I know I'll find myself making a decision in my fic or altering its tone in a way that could be construed as copying from you and I dislike that. I dislike being accused of that and I want to retain my vision for the story so I have to leave all serious fic alone. Crack seems to be ok. Because it's crack. But more realistic or canon stuff I have to avoid or I'll find my story veering away from the original intended "feel" I had for it.

The Chantry

Sooner than Hawke would have liked, she was being led by Lowell and his templar escort into the courtyard before the Chantry. Passing into the cathedral, Lowell gave her several warning glances that made it clear that if she caused trouble, the templars would stop her before it did any good.

 

Instead of the path up to the airy tower that she had followed the day before, Lowell led her down dank, moldy stairs into the gloomy depths of the Chantry. Hawke had not realized that a chantry building would actually have dungeons, although if it held templars, it made sense that the templars might hold prisoners. They went two levels down before they moved down a narrow hall that was faced with tall cell doors made of iron bars. Most cells were empty, but she still scanned every single one. Finally the corridor opened up onto the last cells, and she ran forward, but a signal from Lowell caused one of the templars to grab her from behind and hold her. She struggled and fought until Lowell cleared his throat to get her attention.

 

She stopped and the templar set her down on her feet, but still did not let go. The commotion had woken the prisoner, and soon shadowed, golden eyes were looking out at her through the bars.

 

"Cullen!"

 

"Hawke! No," he moaned. The circles under his eyes had deepened, and his whole face was pinched in pain. Lines of dried blood ran down from his mouth to his chin where someone had split his upper lip on his right side.

 

She struggled again, trying to reach him. "Let me go!" she growled, and finally, after a nod from Lowell, the templar let go. She hurtled herself to her knees, reaching for him through the bars as he struggled to rise. She stroked his face, his hair, his shoulders, anything she could reach to convince herself he was real. She carefully reached down to the dark stain above his belt, but only touched whole skin through the rent in his jerkin.

 

"Are you okay?" she asked.

 

He nodded even though it obviously was not true. He reached through the bars and tenderly brushed her hair back from her face. "What happened? Are you injured? Where is the Lord Seeker?"

 

"I-I'm fine. The Lord Seeker, he's . . . he's at the peace talks. Cullen, I think he's going to do something terrible."

 

"Then you need to stop him! How did they capture you?"

 

"I . . ." Her throat went dry on any explanation.

 

Cullen frowned, glancing once at Lowell and then back again. "Hawke, what happened?"

 

She opened her mouth but before she could think of what to say, Lowell said smugly, "Oh, we did not need to capture her."

 

"But . . ." Cullen said in confusion.

 

"I . . . Cullen, I'm so sorry. I couldn't let him . . . I couldn't . . ." Her throat closed as her tears welled up.

 

"Oh no," Cullen moaned, closing his eyes in defeat.
