THE LITTLE STORYTELLER.
by iAN Derrick‘Pray tell me kind sir,’ asked the little storyteller, ‘what must I do when I enter inside the bubble?’
A few days ago a very talented, good friend of mine, had his work rejected upon the most flimsy and spurious of grounds. Being a kind gentle soul, he absorbed his disappointment. The one small flaw in what is the perfect Red Bubble, is that groups are allowed to enforce non-acceptance rules, that are based upon someone’s personal vacuous perception of desirability. “In our opinion your work does not meet the expectation we are seeking.”…...or words to that effect. Such is the power of the little tin gods. All groups in any society must have rules….good rules. When the basics become swamped by personal perception rules, the end result is to so stifle the creativity, as to make the work become irrelevant. I do believe…..... RED BUBBLE was designed to encourage and enhance creativity not to strangle it at birth.

MY PERSONAL STANCE ON SOME (LIMITED) RED BUBBLE POLICY
by DragonFlyerFirstly, I wish to apologise to you, my friends, for not keeping up with your comments on my work and replying to you as I would normally…
Firstly, I wish to apologise to you, my friends, for not keeping up with your comments on my work and replying to you as I would normally try to do. Unfortunately, my attention has been dragged away from the ‘art’ part of the community here at RB, to more of a ‘huge family blow-up explosion’.... I am also very tired as I slept extremely little last night. I am also aware that Peter the Administrator must be in a very similar state, as he was also up extremely late last night. I hope many of you are aware of the incident that has provoked this. Helen Bascom has – in the time I have been here on RB – come to be my friend. My very good friend. What happened to her has upset me greatly. I did not sleep much last night. But – for me – there is an even larger issue at stake here than the summary deletion of Helen’s account from Red Bubble, without her having the chance to put her version of events. The issue at stake here is that Helen’s account was deleted summarily – with as far as I have been able to ascertain – NO INVESTIGATION of the circumstances – solely on the basis of a ‘report as inappropriate / personally abusive’ made by a third party who had absolutely NO direct involvement in the events or comments he / she was reporting! This reflects an ‘apparent’ zero tolerance’ policy here at RB for ‘personal abuse’... Yes, I agree, this sounds very good. Personal abuse should not be tolerated. However – this incident clearly highlights that – unlike some issues such as the potential for child pornography, where it is very easy to draw a straight line in the sand regarding who, at what age is or is not a ‘child’, the definition of what is considered ‘personal abuse’ vs the definition of describing someone’s creative work as personally offensive may NOT be so clearly defined. In this case, neither the person who made the original comment on Helen’s journal, nor Helen herself, felt the need to ‘report to RB’. Yes, RB DOES tell us to ‘report’ – do NOT go getting mixed up in arguments yourself – but – to my knowledge this issue was ended! Neither Helen, nor miron, had continued any form of offensive behaviour toward each other regarding this particular exchange. In the past, I myself have reported private bmails sent to me using the exact same words Helen wrote in her thread. The RB response to my complaint at the time was along the lines of “this appears to be dying down – let it be – if there’s any more report again and we’ll act”. At the time I was extremely upset. However, now, in retrospect, I can see that this response was correct! The matter DID end there of it’s own accord. The matter between Helen and miron may also most likely have ended right there of it’s own accord, and there would now be NO pages and pages of forum arguments that have gone WAY out of control, there would be no people favouriting any and all Tees with statements of F#$ You an dF#$% Off they can find, there would be no people removing all of their works for sale on RB, there would be no people deleting their accounts at RB and leaving in anger and disgust that Helen was given no chance to defend herself against this report by AN UNKNOWN AND UNNAMED THIRD PARTY WHO – for whatever personal reasons of their own, REINFLAMED a probably dead issue for their own personal reasons! In the 9-10 months I have been a member of Red Bubble I have come to greatly respect the motives and capacities of the RB management and staff team. Firstly, when I joined, this was my very first step back into a world from which I had been a virtual recluse for 7-8 years. I was very scared. It was things such as RB’s firm NSFW filter policy, which protected me from having to unintentionally view work I could have found extremely distressing, as well as their firm ‘play nice’ policy which enabled me to feel ‘safe enough’ to finally build up the nerve to join and take my first steps back into the world. I am, and will remain, incredibly grateful to Red Bubble, it’s management and members, for welcoming me – safely – here. Red Bubble has – since that time, provided me with the most wonderfully supportive community – as well as the opportunity of for the first time in my life ever making FRIENDS! This personal and emotional development and strengthening has also allowed in me a development and strengthening of my art, and my sense and confidence in myself as an artist. For this I also am, and will always remain incredibly grateful. I was extremely happy and proud of Peter (and the whole management team’s) response to the great outpourings of emotion over the issue of ‘porn’ on RB some months ago. They took a firm stance that in my eyes was fair, and manageable to police fairly. Peter has stated in one of the forum threads earlier today that the team needs a chance to assess what has happened and formulate a response – maybe even a change in policy – as it is appropriate. I agree they need the time and opportunity to do this. I hope that, in assessing these events, they will manage to see that such a punitive ‘zero tolerance’ policy on an issue that is NOT clearly black and white, that has MANY areas of grey in the HUGE domain between an artwork I may find personally offensive, and the aims of the person who created the work in either deliberately personally offending me or not – or the other way around… An artwork I may create to express an emotion or concept extremely close and important to me may, without any prior knowledge or intention on my part, clearly inflame another member. We may exchange our views rather forcefully in a comment thread. WE may – between ourselves, be totally satisfied that each has had his / her say – the matter is now closed. / Current RB policy allows – in any such situation – to ANY member of RB – the same result as happened to Helen Bascom. The immediate FULL DELETION of her account solely on the report of a third party with no examination of what their personal agenda may be in the making of a report about an incident that does not concern them. Any policy that allows such a punitive response to any third party report – with no investigation and NO opportunity for those actually involved in the event to explain themselves and the context in which the reported event took place is totally open to manipulation by anyone with an underlying malignant agenda against any of the participants to act out their own ‘vengeance’ with no fear of assessment of whether their complaint is fair and just. I stand by my assessment that such policy – totally open to such malignant manipulation (whether that occurred in this particular case or not!) is BAD policy. Peter – and all your team – I have grown to respect you all and the true motives you have in creating this COMMUNITY in this time I have been here. You have shown that you ARE capable of taking the hard decisions that must inevitably arise in managing a community as diverse as this. I will continue to actively take part in the ‘artists’ community’ aspect of this site, as I believe your motives for establishing it have been good, and I have great respect for what you have achieved. Also – I have to justify to myself why I am not taking the complete and final step of deleting my own account here in support of my friend, as others of Helen’s and my friends have done. I will miss them greatly here, though I am sure we will not lose contact in ‘the world’. I truly hope that, when given the time and opportunity to calmly analyse what has occurred you will be able to enstate a policy that calls for mandatory review of the details of instances such as this reported to management in this way. I also truly hope I will not be even more hurt and disappointed than I already have been this past day…... You have not given me reason to believe I would be…. Kallena xx
