⤫

The staff would like to talk about the subject

of blocking and reports on BLA. This is

to both help you and others stay safe while

using this Amino, as well as to encourage

s to asses situations and respond

appropriately.

⤫

As blocking s on any site is often shied

away from due to it being considered an

‘extreme’ reaction, it can be hard to tell

when to block or simply ignore a . You

should block s at your own discretion

and comfort, and while we encourage

s to talk situations out maturely or let

the other party know that you’re

uncomfortable at any point, sometimes

the best and easiest thing you can do is

block a .

⤫

     ⊹ If a is directly breaking Guidelines,

         we ask that you report the following

         this PSA here. You can block the

         thereafter if you feel uncomfortable, but

         please do not leave the chat if you have

         not gathered proper screenshots before

         blocking them.

     ⊹ Keep in mind though… you can say no!

         We understand that speaking up can be

         scary or intimidating, especially if a

         is older than you. But, avoiding conflict

         where possible, is always the best option.

     ⊹ If anyone does something that you are

         uncomfortable with, please speak up

         and let them know. If you don’t wish to

         continue a roleplay, tell your roleplay

         partner. If you don’t like the type of

         artwork being shared with you, let them

         know it’s just not to your tastes.

     ⊹ The shorthand: If you, at any point,

         feel unsafe, unwelcome, uncomfortable

         or otherwise wish to avoid a from

         interacting with you, we encourage you

         to either report the or block them

         where needed.

     ⊹ , no answer is not a ‘yes’. A

         not answering something does not

         equate to them consenting to a

         conversation or topic. Please move on

         if a voices with you that they do

         not wish to continue a discussion.

     ⊹ Please be aware that as per Amino’s

         official site, blocking will not

         stop you from seeing a ’s “content,

         participating in one of their polls,

         commenting together on another

         member’s post or interacting in the

         same public chatroom.”

─────────────────────────────────

     ⊹ We recommend that you do not block

         of staff or the staff ,

         this is to make moderation easier, but

         we are not going to force you to talk to

         any member of staff you feel

         uncomfortable with. If you would prefer

         to talk to a different at any point,

         please let the staff member ing

         you know. You can directly request by

         name, or otherwise avoid direct

         specification.

    ﹛ Thank you for taking a moment to

          read our brief PSA, as usual you are

          we can.
