Please post all bugs you find or suggestions you wanna give here

Some of you may have noticed that our sidebar (or dropdown menu on mobile) now rotates between images other than our classic:

In particular, @MILMIUM made this fantastic image for his profile, and we really wanted to show it off more broadly:

If you want to make some content for the sidebar for everyone to see, this is the place to submit it. What we're looking for is preferably original content, not just memes from elsewhere online. Come up with fun content showcasing WPD: perhaps an interesting way to present the text "WatchPeopleDie.co", or a quick drawing of Marsey the Cat being too curious around a lathe, or maybe Marsey as an off-duty cop in Brazil. You get the idea: lighthearted but respectful, and no graphic real-life gore please (though drawings of gore are possibly okay).

Your WPD staff will be keeping an eye on this thread going forward, so feel free to submit whenever. Plus, if you get added to the sidebar, you get a badge on your profile and our gratitude.

LINK TO THE MAP HERE: https://u.osmfr.org/m/1027433/

Anyways, me, @sog, @Slavo, and @water have been working on a map. A map, of DEATH!

Here's the gist: each flair gets its own symbol and color. The pin indicates where the video took place. The square pins are the general location (usually the street/neighborhood), the upside-down droplets are exact.

To search for a specific video without panning through the map, all you need to know is either the country or date in which it happened (date is more specific, so go with that if you can). On the left-hand side is an icon that looks like three square tiles, click it and then hit "Browse data" to enter search. Just type in the country name or the month + year when it happened, and you'll be able to quickly find your video. To get the coordinates, zoom in as much as you can and center your screen on the video you want. They'll be in the URL.

Hitting the three square tile icon also allows you to filter by category. Just hit the eye next to whichever categories you don't want to see to filter them out.

For each video, we've selected the highest-quality post out there to represent it. This means no retarded, unnecessary watermarks or blurry footage! We also added thumbnails, but I think if a lot of you access the site at once, it overloads the system and they won't display. So they might be broken for the next day or two. Sorry about that!

Some notable spots with a very high density of videos include Ecuador, Poland, Trinidad & Tobago, NYC, and Chicago. And not only did I post a dashcam for every Russian territory, we geolocated them all as well.

NOTE: There's no "child warning" in any titles. If they're underage, we usually state the age in the title, but not always. Also no "+ aftermath", "multiple POVs", etc.

FAQ:

Q: Can you add [video] to the map?

A: If you've already geolocated it, yes! Otherwise, only if one of us feels like it.

Q: Can I help out?

A: If you're at least semi-active on this site and you're actually interested in this, yes! We obviously vet who gets let in but that's the basic requirements.

Q: Why do this?

A: We have severe autism. Not even memeing here, just the truth. It also allows us to collect the highest-quality versions of videos in one easily-accessible place, but mostly autism.

To close out, here's where a few famous videos took place!

Aaron Bushnell's self-immolation: Google Street View

The Buffalo shooting: Google Street View

Itzdolly's suicide: Google Street View (yes, that's the exact tree)

Bollard ass-impaling: Google Street View

Mississippi store clerk complies with robber, gets shot in the head anyways: Google Street View

Hellish accident at steel mill kills one and leaves several others severely burned by molten steel: Google Maps (technically not that famous but holy shit it goes so hard)

Voice your praise (and constructive criticisms) below. Our map is pretty (albeit not totally) customizable, so if you don't like something about the map, please do let us know below.

^{geeeeettttttt doxxed lmao #DoxTheDead}

So on our other site (https://rDrama.net) we routinely have events where you can earn profile badges and other goofy little things by contributing art, writing, whatever. I accidentally uploaded the Pokemon Badges to WPD too, so I suppose it's time we trialed bringing these events to WPD as well.

REMINDER: You submit emojis here: https://watchpeopledie.tv/submit/emojis

Anyway

There are apparently 1017 Pokemon in existence according to this page. And I remember MissingNo so make that 1018 I guess. We have a few Pokemarseys already, but we have nowhere near 1017 of them.

And that's where you come in, artcels.

Create a Marsey equivalent of a Pokemon and submit it (SEE RULES AT THE BOTTOM FOR TAGGING REQUIREMENTS). You'll get 500dc per approved Pokemarsey and you will ALSO receive a gay Pokebadge corresponding to the type you submit. They will make great conversation pieces in your pod combination living room/dining room/bedroom.

How do you earn these? I don't know yet! Let me google more Pokemon things, please hold.

1. THE BOULDER BADGE.

Submit a ROCK or STEEL or NORMAL TYPE POKEMON.

2. THE CASCADE BADGE.

Submit a WATER or ICE TYPE POKEMON.

3. THE THUNDER BADGE

Submit an ELECTRIC or FLYING TYPE POKEMON.

4. THE RAINBOW BADGE

Submit a GRASS or FAIRY TYPE POKEMON.

5. THE SOUL BADGE

Submit a POISON or BUG TYPE POKEMON.

6. THE MARSH BADGE

Submit a PSYCHIC or GHOST TYPE POKEMON.

7. THE VOLCANO BADGE

Submit a FIRE or DRAGON TYPE POKEMON.

8. THE EARTH BADGE

Submit a GROUND or FIGHTING or DARK TYPE POKEMON.

RULES

• Pokemon with multiple types will count for whichever one I feel like giving you for it, you do NOT get two badges for one Pokemon.

• Tags must include: pkmn, pokemon, and whatever the name of the pokemon is. THIS IS REQUIRED FOR IT TO REGISTER FOR YOUR FREE STUFF. Do not shit it up with like "electric, nintendo, bibeo game" and the like.

• Other mascots (Platy/Zombiewolf/Carp/Capy) also work, and if someone has already made like a MarseyCharmander or whatever you can submit another one, just have it look different than theirs.

• No low effort.

You can see all existing Pokemarseys by hitting the emoji picker and searching pkmn - lots of great ones there from rDrama already if you need inspiration.

We've been online for 16 months, one of which we were down for because Namecheap fucked us out of our original domain, WatchPeopleDie.co and we had to try to get the word out about the new domain to many thousands of people with no way of contacting them. So really, only 15 months.

And we've now hit a million registered users, all of whom will be receiving this snazzy profile badge to immortalize this historic achievement of theirs momentarily.

It was only last December that we hit 100k. Late last December. In 9 months, we have grown 900% to a million of you creeps. That's both worrisome and really cool. A million users was apparently such a big deal for Facebook that their fancy headquarters had a giant party and it was dramatized in The Social Network -

We don't have offices and we currently have no funding because we got banned from Ko-Fi, and it's mostly just some autistic retards putting this together and maintaining it in their spare time. I actually just AFK'd a Slack huddle at my real job to throw this post together. It's a far cry from some big corporate office party, and what I'm saying is you guys should all pitch in and buy us a yacht to party on so we can show Zuckerberg up.

Thanks for using WPD. You are deeply unhealthy, but you are beloved. By me. Now let's see how fast we can get to two million.

I love you.
💋 xoxo clitpeeler

If you donate, don't forget to tell us, so you get a bunch of nifty little on-site perks like free currency, a spiffy username background, and a lot more.

Hmm today I will tackle the backlog of important dms

@Mustang66 you’re doing great king

We hit 2 mill, i want to see demographics of this site again

Select everything that applies to you

Degenerates, is there a ratio of votes to coins? Is it 1:1?

More servers

Thanks to all our sexually desirable patrons, we've been able to add more servers. You might have noticed that the site is a lot faster compared to a few days ago (especially if you live in the US). We are now also load balancing traffic between the US and the EU. In non-nerd terms: Speed go brrr. You can now get your daily gore fix faster than before!

Kind request

This also means that our monthly expenses have increased significantly. As we don't run ads on this website, we are 100% dependant on donations. If you have some change to spare, please consider donating to the site. This can be done with either one-off payments, or via a monthly subscription. We have made small adjustments in our donation model. The rewards are now as follows:

In addition to this, people that donate $20 or more, will temporarily get 50% more marseybux. This promo will run until the 1st of March.

You can find our donation page here!

Keyword notifications

People that donate $50 or more now have access to keyword notifications. You will get notified if specific words or phrases are mentioned. You can enable this in your advanced settings.

Thank you all for helping the site grow! Have a nice weekend!

EDIT: I asked our dev to develop a feature to clear all reports on a post at once. If that gets implemented, I'll allow them back (as long as you guys keep it limited to a few posts), but for now, they're still not allowed.

Hi WPD. Between that Perry, Iowa shooter having had an account here earlier this month, the countless instances of doxxing between people in chat, the endless spam from infuriated banned users, Polish psychos threatening to cut one another up, the growing deluge of threats from unhinged lunatics, and the content itself here, I've had more than my fill of the whole gore thing.

I hate tedious “I'm leaving [online community] forever” posts, but given that I've been doing communications for this place for like a year and some change, I think one is necessary to allow the site not to tank as people think it's all lost.

It's not. At all.

I didn't found the website, I was simply asked to just assume that role publicly because the actual founder is an intensely private person and isn't very good at communicating by his own admission. You are not losing a developer or anything; WPD will not be impacted by my absence in any way aside from the pinned moderator posts becoming probably much more boring.

Fun fact: I was originally brought on using a different username just to help the then-mod team by restructuring the rules to be less insane and to serve as a lightning rod for user ire. I did this by posting cute animals with scary titles. You all hated them!

In summary: I am leaving effective immediately this will not impact WPD in any way, the actual developer isn't going anywhere. A few new admins have been added and I think most of you like them a lot already. Nothing will change with day-to-day WPD as I was not actually responsible for any of that. The site you all inexplicably love will not be affected in any way by this.

I'll probably pop back in from time to time to post cute animals though.

Have a beautiful day

Bye WPD.

PER 18 USC § 48, ANIMAL ABUSE CONTENT IS fucking FEDERALLY ILLEGAL FOR YOU TO:

• POSSESS
• DISTRIBUTE
• SOLICIT
• PRODUCE

IT IS fucking ALSO ILLEGAL FOR US TO PLATFORM.

Instead of uploading videos of animals dying, how about you save everyone some trouble, make your parents proud for the fucking first time and create some OC for /h/suicide, bitch?

FUCK OFF

Hey guys! a while back I saw the CSS code in WPD's main CSS for the rare emoji animations, and I tried to force rare emojis, but it did not work. However, I have finally found out how to get them on text!

I tried to apply them to images to force a rare emoji a few days ago, but that did not work, so I tried a different approach and got it to work on text

To do this, place an img tag in your comment or post, and instead of using the src attribute, use the alt attribute to add text that will show up! To do this, put any of the following

(edited to fix text before i leave wpd for a while)

< img alt="text here" > (Without the spaces here)

Now, the image icon should appear before the text, but there is one final step to get the animations!

Right after "img", add any of the following...

<img g = golden

<img glow = green glow

<img party = 1 in 1000 chance (0.1%) rainbow emoji!

Quick Edit: Or do it like this!

cc: @Britches @Bibbybobby in particular, although I think it impacted some other recent renewals. Basically it had voided your patron status on-site instead of paying out the monthly rewards because sometimes we forget two characters in the code and this actually breaks everything and I am so very sorry.

On the bright side, this should be permanently resolved If anyone's shit is still fucked, please do let me know in a DM as I'll need to gather some info from you to investigate. But I'm like 104% sure it's completely fixed.

Sorry about that!

And to everyone else, a reminder - WPD is funded entirely through donations, but not the usual sort of "hehe support independent web developers and feel good about it", oh no. Premium benefits are as follows:

• Username background

• Exclusive badges

• Ability to add a signature in the settings

• Ability to upload a custom site background in the settings

• Ability to change your username to a 1/2-letter username in the settings

• Ability to perma-marsify yourself in the settings

• Ability to have 2 original usernames reserved for you instead of 1

• 100k character limit for posts (instead of 50k)

• and a monthly stipend of marseybux dependent on your patron level, ranging from 5,000 all the way up to 250,000

• more!

If you don't want, or can't afford to, paypig a gore site though, that's totally fine too! WPD will never never run ads and we will never paywall any content. Aside from patrons, this is entirely self-funded and always will be so as to maintain our wholly independent status and that will never change. Thank you for being here either way!

WPD PRESENTS…

ACTIVE CONFLICTS

We'll be moving all existing videos pertaining to both conflicts to their respective categories. Please ensure that all future footage and discussion goes there as well.

We're trying this as a sort of “citizen journalist” initiative. This allows for the boring stupid videos of rockets hitting whatever dumb shit, forgettable drone grenades in slav trenches, vitriolic sectarian e-fighting from locals, the whole nine yards.

The intent here is to catalog the full scope of the conflicts. Whether that's grainy cell phone footage, bodies on your street, local propaganda, rage at your neighbors, whatever. WPD will serve as a raw, unfiltered repository for all of this, a sort of time capsule for future reference, possible war crimes prosecution, and always a grim reminder of the total spectrum of the cost of war. If more significant conflicts break out, we'll add categories for them as well. When these resolve eventually, they'll go into a Past Conflicts section.

We'll be fleshing these out after the holidays, soliciting banner art, finalizing ground rules for them, the works.

Three other changes!

• In these categories, downvotes function the same as upvotes. This is because you people just blindly downvote footage, regardless of how good or cool it is, if your pet side loses in it and that's super gay. All votes increase ranking in /h/slavshit and /h/sandshit.

• Only one post from each of these categories will appear on a page at a time. This will massively curtail the low quality posts that most people don't care about, but is of prurient interest to those personally impacted by or invested in these conflicts. You can just navigate directly to the respective page to view the posts in full, of course.

• Don't care about third worlders fighting at all? It's now easier than ever to block an entire category. Just click the three dots (“…”) below any post and then click this:

I think that about covers it. I'm getting back to holiday stuff now, thanks for bearing with us through all this. Please report posts outside of these two categories to help us find and relocate them all.

Merry Christmas!

Hello! I'm not trying to be a downer or anything, I promise!

I've had a migraine for a few days, so the high contrast of the theme is hurting my eyes and making the headache a bit worse. I was just wondering if there was a way for me to disable it or edit it to be a bit softer on the eyes. Thank you!
