yeah
Oh, so that’s what this is about.
I suppose you just want to have your wolfchat as a safe space in those instances, then, which is why you don’t want it to be released post-game.

And if it were to be released post-game, you’re afraid that people will see it and make fun of you for venting, or something like that. Maybe it’s already happened before.
Am I right?

yeah
tldr: i would personally be perfectly fine if i could just have one or two channels that wouldn’t go public basically
Well, first of all, if such a thing has happened on this site, you should go straight to the mods with that shit. I hate the very idea of it.
Second of all, though, I’ve been in wolfchats where I definitely vented, but I didn’t mind them being public. I guess it comes down to whether you trust the community to not treat you like shit or think less of you because you vented? And I assume that you don’t have that trust, or you’re afraid. (I don’t intend to put words in your mouth. I’m just trying to figure out exactly where you stand.)

basically yes, what you said was correct on MU (and also in my family life)
i tend to feel a lot safer here but
i’m still scared because its just my default and even though i feel safer here, i still feel very vulnerable if i’m forced to do that because im still not entirely comfortable

i dont trust people by default.
the people in this community have done a lot to earn my trust but
its not enough to undo 16 years of abuse

I can see that.
I guess it comes down to info vs comfort? Though to be honest, my perspective is that I wouldn’t put anything in wolfchat that I wouldn’t want people to see (not that there is a lot I have to hide about myself). Yet, if you’re someone who needs to put that stuff somewhere and isn’t comfortable with people seeing it, I can see how that’s a problem.

as ive summarised before, everyone who i’ve felt comfortable talking to is actually like, on this forum, so talking to them about the game outside of a place like wolfchat would constitute an integrity breach

The thing is that, if wolfchat isn’t released only when the wolves request as much, then you potentially get the “the same people don’t release wolfchat every time” thing that Arctic mentioned, and you would be included among those people. I’m not sure if that’s better than your potential haters seeing the chat and what you put in there. Like, if somebody intends to talk shit about you for something you did in wolfchat, I feel like they could still do that if they saw wolfteams including you not release wolfchat every time.
But maybe I’m wrong about that.

when people frame this as a decision between “X people might hurt you” or “Y people might hurt you”
i just have a mental breakdown and curl up in a ball and hope it goes away
i cant in good faith choose either

I was trying to say that the same people might hurt you either way, if they care enough to pay this much attention. But, like I said, maybe I’m wrong.

well i guess this thread ended up becoming the monday discussion arctic wanted 
i cant speak for everybody but i expect a vast majority of people who want to join wolf chat are interested in
- overall wolf strategy
- how much of a threat they were perceived as (probably the majority)
- other miscellaneous fun things that went on, such as PR hunting or game-specific mechanics
i’d be pretty surprised if anyone took real issue with the idea of a more personal channel (or two) that potentially doesn’t get released because the topics inside were too personal, as far as i’m aware nobody is particularly interested in reading into someones vulnerabilities in order to do better in a mafia game
(slightly unrelated, but in the past i’ve been a bit scared to have people read my wolf chats because i’m concerned they’ll read me talking down on the village as personal attacks, and in my experience i’ve never really had people take things like that the wrong way. probably has happened before but i think there’s a general unspoken understanding that wolf chats will talk eachother up like this)
i still do find the idea of forcibly moderating this kind of thing to be kinda iffy (speaking as me, not as a mod), but i think the conversation surrounding it has been good and may just lead into the concern solving itself with no need for a rule or mod announcement in place
in any future games i host i will probably say somewhere in the OP or wolf chat that bar very specific situations i would strongly prefer the chat be released (same if, god forbid, i actually play a game and rand mafia) and moving forward i think i might just start making a private channel in wolfchats for stuff they want to keep to themselves [e: or discuss with them how they would like to handle that sort of thing]

then the host should release it because that is not a valid reason
still dont think the entire practice ahould atop bc of that
katze is right tho (weird ftr) and i think following those practices would be beneficial for everyone
