Hm, I already was wondering what was off about this place when I returned but then again my medication may have blurred my vision from seeing the obvious.
While I'm not the type to call out people like that anymore, this kind of "mass-deletion" is very off-putting, especially after having read some of their posts. I get it, Midnight is a digital black/bulletin board where you can put up whatever you like, however I don't think Midnight is the place to constantly publish vents like on a typical "alt account" on popular microblogging services but then either don't know how to delete posts properly (which Midnight actually allows) or, what I personally consider more annoying, to look "mysterious" or "special" in some way. And as much as I don't want to assume the intentions of other users, Midnight used to feel like a place for those NOT wanting to be exposed to the usual Web 2.0 social media stuff, including this kind of user behavior you called out, so I wholly understand and share your frustrations.
But hey, when ~bartender is not around, we can raid the bar, right? (And while you're back on your way out, I'm taking a bottle of rum and try to comprehend the fact that Midnight is starting to look just like my parents' old pub that has been abandoned since the late 90's.)
In the context of the purchasing/tipping currency arguably being words, I'm not sure relatively infrequent patrons are in the strongest position to evaluate the purchasing/tipping behaviors of the regulars.
