is there a rule in ACW that states that couples in ACW are not allowed to show affection (ie. calling eachother 'Honey')? Is it frowned upon?
if not, then please let Yoko know of this. It seems he's creating invisible rules like the "a mod can take away Scarlet and Rena's quality points without asking" rule.
It seems Yoko told Dan and Scarlet that Scarlet calling Dan "Honey" was offensive to him. Now, I have probably called tons of men in ACW honey, and I have yet to be told by Yoko that is indeed offensive to him. I do not understand why Dan and Scarlet's relationship has to be frowned upon, when I (and many others) are allowed to show affection to one another.
Latino and I were, and still are, as close as Scarlet and Dan, and we on a regular basis share our affection with one another on chat and in private. Why are they not allowed to do so.
Yoko, if you are upset or grieving over the fact that you have been trying to get Scarlet to love you for months and months now, and Dan got her within days...please do not try and make Dan adn Scarlet suffer for it. I have written sexual content in my storylines which is much more offensive than "Honey", so why does that not offend you? You need to stop trying to pick on Dan, because people will get tired of it.
You also said if they dont stop, either you or Dan must leave. I vote you leave, then. If you cannot handle their relationship, you need a long long break to sort things out with yourself. You cannot always get what you want, and it is unfair for Scarlet and Dan to suffer due to your little tantrum.

I really don't see the need for anyone to leave. All that should be done is the people involved in this to really talk it out and come to a final conclusion.

A mature little talk should sort this minor matter out, easily, if I read this right.

All right... I believe I've taken a few minutes now to compose myself before answering this. Because quite frankly, when I read it the first time, I was really quite annoyed, no, let's be honest here, angry.
I have always said that I do not believe in censorship, so I shall leave the post untouched. However, if Yoko, Dan or Scarlet ask for it to be deleted, that will be done at once.
Rena, you know that I love your work, enjoy chatting to you when our paths cross on AIM and in the chat etc, and consider you a friend. That's why I'm going to say what I have to say straight out, and in public.
It is true that there has been quite a lot going on between Scarlet, Dan, and Yoko over the last few months, not all of it pleasant. Both in my mod capacity and informally, I have spoken to all three of the people involved, and established from them what has happened, who upset who, and how eventually things were talked out and resolved.
I will not go into detail here, because I consider what they told me to have been in confidence.
All that needs to be said is that a working agreement was reached between the three of them, that would allow friendships to be salvaged, and set boundaries where it was deemed appropriate.
All three also said that they would keep the mods informed privately of any further problems that arose, so that the fed at large would not be affected by personal issues, a situation that none of them to my knowledge desires.
I have only just seen this message, and as of this point I have not received any communication from either Dan, Scarlet, or Yoko in reference to the "incidents" that you cite above. I have absolute faith that if there is any truth in your version of events that I will hear about it very shortly, from the people whom it directly concerns.
I truly mean absolutely no offence when I say this... but Rena, with all due respect, you know far less about this situation than you think you do, and raking up people's private business in a public forum like this is, to put it bluntly, extremely disrespectful and rude. I also have serious issues with you criticizing Yoko's conduct as a mod without any evidence whatsoever - it is COMPLETELY impossible for any mod to radically change or remove points from the calcuation system without the express approval of the other moderators, I give you my word on that.
In short, I would like to categorically state that whatever the situation may currently be between Yoko, Scarlet and Dan, this does not and will not have any effect on the running and good conduct of this federation. That is as far as my "official" jurisdiction goes... but my personal opinion on this is that if I were one of the three members cited above, I would be furious beyond words with you at the way in which you have here publicly revealed things that should have remained private and confidential.
If you wish to take any of this up further, please PM me or any of the other mods. I must however state here and now that any further posts here that infringe anyone's privacy will be deleted, and considered a breach of ACW rules.

Well, this little issue looks like it's finally gotten out of hand.
I agree with AK, for the most part.
Now, I'm sure we can all agree that this is a very touchy subject. Also, I'm pretty sure that it's obvious that we all always don't get along. Things like this are bound to happen one way or another.
Anyway, what goes on between Scarlet, Dan, and Yoko outside of ACW if their business, not ours. Make no mistake, it's absolutely none of our business. Now, somebody may say "Well Shawn, if they hate each other or something then they might not be able to work together and that hurts ACW as a whole."
Well, there has been some noticable tension between the three for some time now, and they've still...for the most part...managed to work together relatively well.
Also, I'm sure somebody has already cooked up the "OMFG!!!1111 Yoko's gonna use his BORKSTAGE POWAZ to hold DD and Scarlet down now."
That is an idiotic assumption. I'll remind you that no one mod can manipulate things to the point that a person will be held down. It would take at least 3 mods to do that effectively. So, it's just not possible. Yoko, is also too trustworthy for that anyway.
So yeah...my thoughts on the whole deal is to just let them be. We, as mods, cannot police people's personal lives.
Even though that would probably be fun.

I'll concur with Mr. Alexander:)
Don't worry, we don't often have problems like this around here...at least not on the boards.

I asked Rena to make the topic because I knew that a) she'd be able to write it in a way that would make more sense and b) because I felt more people would take her seriously than if I made the topic.
I don't really have anything to say at this moment. I don't feel the need to. But I asked Rena to make the topic, because I feel she's a lot more involved in the situation than anyone else here, apart from obviously Yoko, Sarin and myself.
