written right before lunch

[peanutbuttercup]

Alright, everyone.

Obviously the journals aren't working properly. Don't write anything private or sensitive, even under wards. They're not working either and it'll be visible to everybody.

Just because our names aren't being signed to what we're saying doesn't mean this is the wild west. Don't antagonize people. Don't harass people. Respect each other's boundaries. Be nice. And if you want my totally frank suggestion, I'd just put your journal away altogether until this gets sorted out.

Too late.

[peanutbuttercup]

It's never too late to start being nice.

I was talking about the wards.

[readingrainbows]

Hi Reece! I have a question: I definitely DON'T want to see people getting hurt or upset, but also, I'm worried that if I put my journal away, people will just be RAMPANTLY and UNSUPERVISEDLY mean! Does that mean I should keep my eyes pealed and my journal open? Or put it away, and risk a TROJAN HORSE of HARASSMENT rolling into my fair city?

Thank you in advance for your advice,
ZACH

PS, I really like this epistolary format!

[bambae]

no offense kid, but you're supervision is probably unnecessary here.

[peanutbuttercup]

Zach is a prefect. Supervising his classmates is his job.

Zach,

Like with the anonymous posts, I think it'll be better if we all just try to ignore and not escalate any inappropriate behavior. There's not a lot we can do to enforce the rules when we don't know who's saying what. I have a couple ideas for other things we can try if you want to meet me in the artificing shed before lunch.

Thank you, Reece. I hope that people listen to your advice.

If anyone needs help or support while this is going on, please reach out to a prefect or staff member. I have reported the [...] problem to Ms. Vector, and they will be contacting someone to fix this.

Thanks, Rafael. Hopefully we can get this sorted out quickly. One anonymous post a month is already

Good call, Raf.

Welcome to Hell.

If we're lucky maybe they'll stay broken forever and people will get bored of them.

On the bright side, at least we may see a little less tangible rule violation while we're stuck in the wild west.

[addytives]

Genius as always, bb. Maybe we should plan like. Something else to do today. It's nice out, we could go for a hike or something.
Get out and get fresh air, kids! ♥ AFH

[heyitsnia]

It's a good idea. Maybe we can institute a journal free zone somewhere on campus? Play cards. Throw a ball around. Read something other than gossip and vileness. -Nia

[peanutbuttercup]

Zach and I are going to brainstorm ideas at lunch if you want to join us.

- Reece

[choneychurch]

Thank you, Reece. You're absolutely right and I hope everyone takes this to heart.

Prefects, please try to make yourselves available to your classmates since it will be harder for people to reach out to us than it normally would be. If this continues for long, we can meet to discuss what we can do to deal with this situation fore effectively.

[knightly]

Yes, thank you. Hopefully, they'll get the problem fixed soon.

If anyone wants to find me, I'll be studying in the Atrium when I'm not in class. I'd be glad to talk to anyone about issues they might be having.

[thecourtier]

Happy to help out where I can, in or out of Coppertale (though that's where I am right now). Have all of the houses checked in with a couple of prefects? Nobody's out of action?

-DT

[fillefidele]

Of course we will! Part of the job!

Ebonhide, I'm up in the main school building right now, but if you want to talk to me before curfew, I'll be back down there after dinner.

-Jo

Backdate and indicate that your posts went up earlier this morning. Or pretend they didn't see this.

[goosemods]

[fillefidele]

Part of me will really enjoy it if this gets fixed and as part of it, all the names return so we know just how big of a... well, just how horrible some horrible people are.

-Jo

[peanutbuttercup]

That's a really good point. Everyone please consider that we don't know for a fact this isn't exactly what'll happen.

- Reece

[nothalfplaid]

Duh.

Also, good luck.
