we can mention other idols as long as it is not negative in anyway (general chat especially is 100% fine to, that channel is to talk about anything bc i knew people Will often get off topic and i didnt want this to be somewhere people cant have conversations bc that honestly just wont be fun😭) and about rumours we have been trying to keep things under control and giving people warnings privately if anything gets out of hand and stopping conversations when we think is necessary. we are kinda “understaffed” in terms of mods and people are busy and yk have lives as well so its hard to catch everything. if you find anything you dislike that is being talked about please take a screenshot and PM me either on my twitter or on discord so i can talk to the mods about their thoughts and whether it would require any further action.

its really okay anon no need to apologize at all! its not being ungrateful im glad you brought up how u feel. i really do think if you just continue to engage in conversations people will absolutely start interacting more, pls dont give up everyone is really very nice and welcoming a lot of people have made friends on the server, people they didnt know until meeting on it while talking so u gotta keep trying to engage and the energy will start being reciprocated at u, please dont feel bad for sharing how u feel im glad u felt like u could tell me even under anon and i hope i can help with everybody engaging with each other more often :< if u wanna dm me abt it im very open to talk more in depth im here to listen <3

omg im sorry anon :( from what ive noticed as i am always watching even if im not talking i feel like a lot of people have been meeting and interacting through it for the first time, its just different levels of extroversion etc i guess 😅 but PLEASE do not feel discouraged to talk to people there, i am sure nobody means to ignore you if they do, sometimes conversations just go too fast and people’s messages get lost in the mix, everyone is super friendly so if you keep talking and interacting people will talk to you back even more. but i am really sorry you’ve felt this way and i will for sure try to foster more interaction with everyone so i can encourage everybody to talk to everyone whenever i am active while people are talking!

mm i genuinely dont think there is that many mono soogyuists in the community, i feel like im mutuals with most of the ones that are full monos and i could probably count them with one hand 😭 this is another thing that makes me like… idk not really see the issue with us because a lot of people still like other ships that include the pair. i consider myself a mono tbh but im open minded enough and crazy enough that i let myself be free and read whatever i want if i find the plot interesting sometimes… but thats only when it comes to fics cuz i do think of soogyu as exclusive and i mostly read only them two together 😅 the only exception is kai i really dont know the reason why i just really enjoy kai ships so i read them all no exceptions LOL so yeah honestly i dont know i dont believe there is many like the example u gave of people from other fandoms who act that way 😅 but i kinda like it that way, and most of the people who are VERY only soogyu ship centric are super sweet people and ot5 so. Obviously there will be bad apples just like in any community but considering the size of ours its honestly not bad at all.

i wanna give my point of view idk if people will understand what i mean but i honestly dont believe people mean for us to begin disrespecting other pairings when they say for us to start “being louder about soogyu”. im almost certain everyone means to just be annoying about their interactions and TALK about them without holding ourselves back, if people take that as being disrespectful or as soogyuists trying to make other pairings look like less or something i think that might just be a them problem 😭 there is nothing wrong with talking about our fav ship the way we do. what IS wrong is when people like the example you gave DO disrespect and minimize other pairings and begin to make it a competition which will ALWAYS end up in ship wars. one thing is pointing out the fact that soogyu are extremely close and another is saying they “clear other pairings” and shit like that 😭 thats just being a shitty person and it makes me personally doubt the true ot5-ness of whoever it is saying things like that. people really do have to loosen up rps is meant to be inclusive for eeeeverybody and you should not be insulting anybody because of their preferences like that is Extremely childish and honestly weird. you can have opinions on the communities of different ships, sure, but its different to have those opinions on them just because you dont like the ship or even worse the pairing themselves Is what you dont like. that is extremely weird and im gonna be so honest you are not ot5 if you do that LOL. but yeah i do agree!
