How did you get into Sapphire?
For number two, I mean it as 'you asking Sapphire' for acceptance in.

-
I turned on my swagger on and asked...they had no choice but to accept me

Edited by aBallisticToucan: 4/24/2013 1:40:08 AMPM'd in. Sapphire isn't the glorious utopian civilization that its mods make it out to be, but at least every other thread isn't -blam!-ing "religion vs science ok fight lel" Also, gr8 b8 OP.

Do they still have that sears list or whatever it's called? I'm pretty sure that I'm on that. Good times.

I'm not in, which works since I hardly use private groups anymore. I just stick to the offtopic forum here and leave it at that.

I got an invite from Bloody Nine (I think), but I passed it off as just another group invite. Time went on, I quickly forgot about it, and then the butthurt started. I remember reading about this mythical place called Sapphire where the mods were 'super oppressive' and the leader made it his own 'secret shrine for his massive e-peen'; a community dedicated to mass circle jerking the older, more popular members, while the newer members sat around and watched in shock and awe. I couldn't escape the discussions. They were so frequent and angry that it seemed to be the only thing anyone posted about for quite some time. Naturely, I became curious. I started lurking the anti-sapphire threads, just waiting to see what kinds of butt-frustration would emerge, hoping that a huge argument would erupt. 9/10 times, it did. Eventually I got a PM from Harlow about joining sapphire. This time, I knew what it was, I had an idea (while completely wrong) about what I would find within, this time I had to join. So I did, and haven't looked back.

The Bloody Nine invited me, and I accepted. It was an ok group for the time when I was in, I liked watching the popularity contest at the time and a few threads were ragelocked by Jay, which made me lol. Over the course of the ~2 months I was there. Harlow seemed to dislike me more and more over time, and Jay seemed to like me, so she delayed my booting. I was skeptical of Harlow's ideals. I didn't believe Sapphire could turn into a successful corporation. And I expressed this thought on Sapphire, and I guess minor criticisms "hurt" Sapphire, so Harlow didn't like it and booted me. I think he started to dislike me more and more it even after he booted me. I know he was particularly upset when I locked one of his threads in TFS. There were at least two other mods posting in the thread when I locked it. So he accused me of "bringing down the group" even though I provided my justification for locking by pointing out that the discussion was completely different than the discussion that the OP originally advocated. Apparently being a good mod and enforcing the rules brings down groups. He probably wouldn't have complained about it if it wasn't his thread. Now he has me muted. He can't read anything I post from now on, and I doubt he'll ever unmute until I join Sapphire; I'll probably won't anytime in the near future. As for Jay, I'm cool with her. If Harlow didn't exist and she was admin of the group, I'd consider joining again (I probably wouldn't have been kicked in the first place). But yeah, I don't affiliate myself as a member of Sapphire on this website, and I doubt that I will do so ever again since I keep hearing things about them finally going offsite. I really went too far into detail with this post, I could have answered this in less than ten words. But oh well, I'll click on Post and carry on with my day.

1 ReplyBack when I was still a relatively new poster, I asked what Sapphire was and very quickly a flamewar followed (with some of the comments akin to some in this thread) and then Harlow personally PMed me and invited me. I joined but didn't really take part, and then became an active member for a while when a friend told me he posted there. Since .next, I haven't been very active at all.
