Spoiler for ...:

I'm done making Vice City Truths articles.

I'm sorry to my fans that only read my articles but please, go read my other works, I put so much work into them and they're honestly way better.

I came to this decision when I was making a new article where I was gonna return and then I was two scoops shy of a series when I encountered these people. These guys would just run down every single of my articles and hate me until I take a break from VCMP. And it was at this time that I said to these guys "You're pissing on a startup which has nearly zero to none experience in journalism. Yes, I'm gonna need a journalism degree else I'd be vomited on for whatever reason." And I got these replies:

I'd rather read toilet paper than this paper.

So people literally wipe their asses with your newspaper?

Your newspaper is even worse than The Sun itself. Kill yourself.

Now, there is so much wrong with this. First, why am I being shit on for defending myself? I can understand being shit on for cheating or being a total asshole or having fake news or having too many fails. But talking shit to some guy who is a total dumbass? What is this, fucking pussy-ass baby pre-school time? Talking shit is probably one of the only fun parts of this boring-ass topic.

I wonder if they understand the root of toxicity is THE COMMUNITY, it's just not fun and it pisses people off. Let me be serious here: This community doesn't work as a competitive game or a fun party game to play with your friends. As of today, I have more than four hundred hours played on VCMP, so I have some legitimate grounds to review. Most of this is just people constantly inhibiting how good you can actually do, and any great RP communities-there are so many techniques and opportunities for a great journalist to just whoop some ass. In this community, you don't really have those options and it's just gonna stay that way forever. And that's what I feel like I'm doing with my articles. Even though my appreciation for this community is waning all the time and I wanna hit you guys with all these different kinds of articles and I've stuck with it because I know my fans wanna see me do it. Now, I know some of you are out there like "But Martin, what about the actual appreciation?'" Now, please understand this. Fans has absolutely nothing to do with haters. The fans are in queue where all of them are amazing at appreciation. In THIS one, there's gonna be 3 decent guys and 7 retards. At its best, this is just something to do in the background while you talk to your friends but a lot of the time it's either too frustrating or monotonous. If my friends actually get into it and try to write, we'll just get mad at each other and start yellin'n'get into an argument. Uh, but most of the time, people just keep alt-tabbing outta the article and pay very little attention to the actual shit, y'know?

It just isn't engaging.

And then the topic stretches into the 40-50 days inactive mark and nobody cares at all at that point. This shit just go on for way too long EVERY time. So, I'm not enjoying things. Nobody I'm with is enjoying it. But I still really wanted to finish this up.

Martino, I can understand you're new to journalism and everything, but you need to be ready to handle criticism especially in the newspaper business.

A lot of the news you posted was fake, and inaccurate. Maybe it was accidental I don't know, but feeding fake news is going to annoy the public.

[danigold1]

Martino,
Your decision to stop doing what you enjoyed doing for yourself and the community saddens me, but it is what brought you to this decision that saddens me more.
I think its a creative thing you created, trying to make the most interesting articles out of what you were given, and you wanted to engage with people of the community.

Thing is, some of the responses you got really were very inconsiderate. One thing that i feel definitely defines our community, is that we like to trash-talk on each other. Its something that is done in a rather friendly way, but sometimes, its hard to remember that behind the nicknames we see are real people, and behind the walls of text we read literally all the time, is real thought and creativity being transmitted, for the purpose of having fun. This really hinders the safe space of our community and its sort of a paradigm, its something that happens because that's how everybody acts; nobody knows how it started, but everybody just does it.
There's also a fine line between trash talking and being an asshole, and that line is crossed often not because people say those stuff with the intention to hurt other people, rather as a way to engage with one another in this rather unique way that is apparent in here.

I think the fact you kept going for as long as you had, is commendable, and I also greatly respect the fact you decided to speak up for what you think and believe, is great. Nobody should be anybody's punching bag, and nobody should be silenced.

I hope you keep trying new things, and new ways to challenge your creativity and others.
Always go for these incentives, and be willing to take constructive criticism from other people. Its a shame most of the criticism you received here was not constructive, it was apparent it wasn't with the intention of your best interest, but to put you down, and its a shame it has gotten to you.

This is directed at you, Martino, but i would also want other people to see what my opinion on this matter.
Keep doing what you love

[Huntsman]

To be honest, this had potential to actually be a good newspaper. You could actually document events in game and turn them into an article here. What you did wrong with this one, however, is that most of what you posted was, well, simply put, pure bullshit, with zero factual value, and was actually more of a troll-paper than anything else.

I think you should continue this, but revise your ethics. Create actual and truthful articles instead of constantly posting troll-articles with the intention of defaming someone.

I do legit see potential in this, but dude, as Huntsman said,

So people literally wipe their asses with your newspaper?

What the fuck lol

Do you realise how that sounds?
