Hi Kitty,
I'm sorry to bother you. It looks like you're as busy as I am these days. I was going to post this on the Blink Guild but changed my mind. I wanted to vent and I don't know who to reach out to. If you think it would be useful to share somewhere, then please do. Anyway, please don't let the world overwhelm you.
"So I'm not here very much anymore because I got tired of the overall negativity on the main forum. I didn't post much when I was here because I'm either content with Blackpink activities or don't have anything new to add to what others have said.
This morning I decided to check in and see if there was news of the Pinks arrival in Dallas, and the first thing I see is another post from staff member/kinda staff member Shitpia. Shitpia spent the whole summer dropping an "opinion" every fifteen minutes on the pinks failures, supposedly to generate posts from Blinks to prop the site up. Instead, I saw lots of people leave.
If any of you here are staff or affiliated with staff as volunteers or other positions, please let your contacts know that having a staff member directly or indirectly bag on a group encourages the roaches in anons and on the main forum itself to jump on a bandwagon that drives people off, not brings new people in or encourages participation. If you're 18 and like to fight in these threads, I admire you for defending Blackpink. But over time, it wears people out and makes coming to Allkpop a blood-pressure raising experience instead of a place to learn news and share experiences. When an attack thread gets made, the same 6 antis salivate and come in to fight, and the same courageous 7 or 8 blinks come in to defend. "That's Kpop! That's the way it's done! If you don't like it...leave!" Well I and others left and more will, especially if school, work and personnal things make coming here a chore rather than a relief.
Jenchulicheng, Monalisa, even (gulp) Limca are the best fighters we have. They (and many others) have the energy to engage and ride the line of getting banned. I'm speaking for people who have joined but don't want to fight, guests who lurk and don't want to join or participate because they don't want to be gladiators all the time, and people (especially in smaller fandoms) that don't feel welcome: having to defend your group with statistics, tweets, stories found on the internet, and translated stories that are searched for and researched over several hours isn't kpop or music...it's politics. Every time a politician takes a position they quote statistics, research, scientific fact, positive newspaper articles and stories of average joes and kids to support their position. Then the opposition quotes statistics, research, scientific fact, positive newspaper articles and stories of average joes and kids to tear it down. Sound familiar? I get enough politics at my job and in my real life.
Anyway, I'm asking people here in the guild who have a voice, even if just to a moderator who is a friend, to at least take up this issue, because I think that will have more impact than some random user with a low akorn count doing it. The moron in question said in a post that his methods worked, and the number of threads and responses went up when he bags on Blackpink. He said he had the statistics to prove it. So, like Putin, being an aggressor works to get what you want, in this case engagement on the site. Well, I'm a statistic that can't be easily counted, and that is someone mature who likes being here and supports the site by giving encouragement to posts with reactions, and occasionally responds to a thread with something useful I know or have experienced that might help someone. But I've not posted maybe 100 things I was going to because of the attack culture that today's "Blackpink Failure" post typifies. I don't want to fight all the time, and when staff or ex-staff stir the pot it's a lot worse. It gives official endorsement to that behavior. I think there are alot of people who won't/don't post that feel the same."

You're not a bother honestly, thanks for reaching out ❤
I am super busy these days, as you pointed out, sorry for the late reply though 😅
Your post was very insightful ❤
There is quite a lot of negativity on the main forum lately 😕
I honestly don't know what to do about it though, everyone else seems fine with it 😪
I haven't really been on the the main forum in a while, and that's helped a lot in making my forum experience generally better lol.
I think a lot of of people in the guild would love to hear your thoughts on this, so I'd definitely recommend sharing this post there too!
I definitely feel you on all of this, it's never fun to see something you love bashed so heavily : [
I'm lost on a solution though to be honest, maybe we can brainstorm something in the guild! They do say 2 heads are better than one!
-
Thank you so much for replying. I'll think about editing and posting this in the guild if I sense a good time to do it. I have to have a surgery next month so I will either not feel like participating at all, or will have more time to lay on my couch and engage here.....
Thanks again!

A lot of us have gotten busy, so it's kind of less active at the moment.
Anything new with you?

Thank youuu Kitkat

-
Thank you, sweetheart
I wish the best for you as well
A lot of schools are giving midterms rn, and for others, it's almost the holiday season, so there's tons of things to get done ✔️
