These are reasonable, tbh:

- i can't believe "this person tried too hard to follow my instructions" is being claimed as a reason for an EPH. you really can't please everyone no matter what you do [note: 18 +1 emoji reacts]
- if it was a rewording of their letter and prompts...how can it be bashing...if their prompts aren't bashing?*
- i'm just like have they never gotten a gift they felt 'meh' about before?? just leave a short comment and move on*
- "I was somewhat squicked by something that wasn't in my DNWs that's also close to what I requested" is, I think still not quite an eph situation


The other comments aren't nice but I wouldn't blink seeing any of them posted here when an EPH went out on a comm.

Two of the quotes are from the mod. Please tell me you understand the difference between an anonymous rubbernecker talking shit about an EPH request and the actual mod of the exchange, who should be approaching your request with an open mind, an assumption of good faith, and a general air of tact and understanding saying those things.

So which mod are you?

you think mods should be talking about participants like shitposters on an anon comm?

This is DM or shitpost comm material, periodt. Anyone posting this shit in public namespace should not be running dick all.

There is a giant power differential between some fic writers gossiping on an anon comm and an actual cabal of mods shredding someone in their private Discord and it's pretty amazing you can't see that.

I have to believe you're counter-trolling to keep the wank going. There's no other logical explanation.
