I actually don't have a problem, just something that awfully irritates me.
I have a few accounts that all are in dark/gothic/devilish/vampiristic/etc style and almost every last one of them has gotten a message (or messages) "Jesus loves you" from the same person.
It's not important in what I believe but it makes me veeery uncomfortable when someone thinks that I must be "saved" (like hello- my dollz may be dark but that doesn't mean that I perform some underground rituals with goat bloodxD). Religion is a topic that should NOT be discussed on this site as here are people from different parts of the world and with different beliefs.
I know, I know they're just letters and we have freedom of speech and everything...but that's just weird. And a bit rude.
I agree that religion is a topic that should not be discussed,I see messages like these too all over players comment and I don't know why someone would do that.
Please let a moderator know (through a private note) who is sending these messages as it is against the rules.
You can send me this information, if you like, or chose another moderator...but please let one know so we can deal with this. Thank you.
I know exactly who your talking about...I will talk to her to see if she will stop. *sigh*
It should not be like that, but unfortunately some people think that if other don't have the same beliefs that person is wrong, which is very egocentric in my opinion, because they put themselves in the position "i can judge everyone because i'm right" and they end up hurting other people feelings.
As someone who also has a couple of accounts that are (or were) gothic/vampire themed, it saddens me that people feel the need to read into our choices in our designs. Personally, I love vampires, halloween, witchcraft, etc but I follow the Roman Catholic faith.
Just becuase one is interested in a topic does not follow that that person is THAT person. Any interest may not be a direct reflection on what that person does or believes.
And it is frustrating to see these opinions being pushed onto others when not asked. Hopefully, people will find a better way to spread their beliefs than on a game meant t focus on fashion and interior design.
I may be stirring this up a bit, but if it is so wrong to "witness" to someone then I believe that the ones who send me messages telling me they are Muslims should also stop.
My main character does not have a "dark" them to her & I receive those same "Jesus loves you" messages. Yes, I am a Christian so I"m not offended. By the same token, receiving the messages saying "Allah loves you" doesn't prompt me to turn them in or to post about it. I just ignore them. I guess if I replied back to the latter message with the first message... then I suppose they'd turn ME in????
It is correct that one shouldn't discuss three things in public: s.ex, politics & religion. I don't do any of those but if it's going to be "against the rules" for someone to send a Christian message... then lets have it against the rules for the other side of the spectrum.
*steps down from her soap box*
It doesn't matter what religion you practice, discussing it is against the rules. If one person chooses to report someone for breaking a rule they have that right. If you decide it doesn't bother you that much and choose to not report it, thats on you. The rule is simple and fair.
In my opinion, getting a message "*insert god's name here* loves you" can be really disconcerting when you are raised in a society where religion is very personal matter. Where I live, everyone quietly minds their own business and religion-topic is almost taboo.
Well.... the point I was making on this subject as far as being.... annoyed or insulted...
I tend to ignore any religious messages as far as "debating or arguing". The things I DO report are the rude, insulting, foul messages whether in PM's or public. Or dollz with inappropriat names or inappropriate pages.
I just am guessing here, but I feel like the mods have enough PMs with complaints, reports, etc... that I have just chosen to ignore these and not add a complaint about it to the mods.
At any rate.... :)
Lets get on with the show!

I know who it is also and I reported her because she send me a really rude message today just because I didn't believe something she said.
