Honestly I'm just doing this out of obligation/responsibility. Let's get into it I guess:
I'm here to report
@MeiouHades for inappropriate behavior.
Previously the user received a 2-year ban,
where one of the reasons was being consistently toxic.
Four months ago the user was unbanned; however, they have not shown appropriate behavior during that period,
even admitting they would have continued if not for the Wiki rules.
First off, I have not only shown appropriate behavior but I've also improved massively as well thanks to actual efforts I've made in my real life, that's why I was allowed back on the wiki. Secondly, the majority of the reasons behind my ban was actually not that (though I admit it was a factor or at the very least didn't help me at all), it was actually the idea that I may be the alt of a former banned user on here. In fact that's what GarrixianXD's report (a former banned moderator) on here was all about, with another retired moderator DeagonX responding to it by bringing up details about how that user and I were related. That was the actual reason, points that I refuted when I made my appeal to Ant. So no, it wasn't for inappropriate behavior and two my behavior (while nowhere near perfect) has also improved greatly and I take pride in that fact.
Also, I don't know what part of that is me saying that I would continue said behavior if not for the Wiki rules. You even quoted my message directly but still basically put words in my mouth there while hyperlinking the comment. Comes across as bad faith, but no that's what that statement says. The context here is necessary so here we go:
This is about a user named Tuxidoe_Redo who was just recently banned for constantly spamming pointless threads, not listening either other members or staff members to outright disrupting threads with nonsensical commentary. All of this can be found if one searches for their comments so I'm not really going to bother linking it all here especially since they're already banned. Now that comment of mine comes after all of this where I state that the reason everyone was calmly and politely trying to explain him to stop (warnings that they did not heed) for stuff that would invoke much harsher backlash typically. I don't believe this comment is even report worthy.
Right, which I decided to heed as best as I can. Not perfectly of course, I don't believe anyone can do that which is why informal warnings exist. If everyone only got 3 maximum chances/warnings on what is primarily a powerscaling site where heated debates are the norm, we'd have less than 1% of the members we do right now. Still, Bambu was right and I decided to listen to that. It was already reported and dealt with, no reason to bring it up further; it wasn't even a formal warning.
Now this is where it gets weird with the Sailor Moon stuff. You see all those remarks and when they were made? I was knees-deep in an exhausting CRT debating an equally stubborn member (I don't mean this offensively, please don't take it as that, I call myself stubborn too and I think it's a fine trait) and MOST if not all of this stuff was already looked over and reported when Unanimous and I had our little report exchange here and on a few other occasions you can search for yourself. Heck, in that very thread we were both given an informal warning/advisory to calm down which I think we both listened to well right after that, which you've even posted right below this.
How exactly something that was mostly already reported and/or evaluated with informal warnings report-worthy exactly? That's not to say I was correct in saying that though, no. I regret many if not most of those remarks (even had a private conversation with Unanimous about it that I will not mention any of here)
Basically what I said above.
The issue is that the user has continued, despite all this, posting comments that are completely out of line across different threads, either direct attacks or heavy sarcastic remarks aimed at various users.
Most of those comments of mine was just me debating. I really don't want to go over every comment here just to explain it to you but I'll do some.
First one is this with OmegaBronic:
I'll say this straight up since you seem to be missing this concept. Omega, no one owes you a response, not me, not Cryo, not Tilted, no one. So, to act surprised when no one wants to entertain your wall of text is pointless when your "response" is, put simply, not even worth responding to. Why WOULD anyone do the emotional labor of responding to someone who evidently isn't reading half of the stuff being written for them? That's why I said earlier, I'm not interested in responding to you because I know for a fact that you don't read anything. Call it an accusation all you want, it is a pattern I and almost everyone who has debated you has observed both on- and off-site. I don't care if you think I'm accusing you. Stop this behavior if you don't like being accused then. I will not be reading or responding to your response to this, so don't bother unless you just want to get the last word in for some reason.
This was just me saying that he isn't reading; that was the whole issue of the thread, he was ignoring most of what we said. Again, not report-worthy by itself this is like the most common "complaint" on the wiki that most users have probably had more than once easily, nor is the first part of it report-worthy. We did not owe him any responses, especially since they weren't putting any effort into reading them (again these are not new accusations just stuff that was goin' on at the time), which is kinda frustrating. Still, it is true that I could've phrased this better than I did here. Again, knee-deep in a heated debate, it's not always that easy to be completely calm and stoic all the time. Still, I acknowledge that I could've done better here (and I did, in future debates, believe it or not).
Now these are comments that I believe I was already given a warning for by Damage, again this was against an extremely annoying user (my feeling at the time, not trying to call them annoying here) who simply didn't listen and would always fill the CRT with mostly and often unproductive, even sometimes useless comments. I mean it's okay to not like Dragon Ball, but consistent anti-Dragon Ball messages in a Dragon Ball general thread while refusing to listen to any and everything else is just.... yeah, it's not gonna invite welcoming messages exactly and even Damage for that reason thought it was bait (I disagree otherwise I would've ignored it). And in fairness to me I did try to reason with this user first but they're literally unreceptive to anything and in fact in that VERY SAME thread (maybe even the same conversation? I don't keep track of this inconsequential nonsense much more) they stated they hadn't watched or read DB and only watched it through those "What-if Goku was trapped and betrayed and had stage 4 cancer" (I'm exaggerating but you get the idea) videos. This is basically the same phenomenon as the above comment though this wasn't so much a debate as much as it was me getting rage-baited I guess.
THAT SAID, I still think this isn't report-worthy, mainly because I'm not personally attacking them or anything, I am calling their arguments garbage (and I still maintain that, that's not something I will take back, sorry) and I believe I and anyone else is allowed to do that. I don't have to respect every argument I see and I think that's a fair stance that most everyone on the forum holds to one degree or another. Still, I will once again admit that my language could still be better, or maybe I should've even realized this might be ragebait (though I don't think it was) and stopped engaging altogether. Like I said before, I'm not perfect but still this is something I actively do (even in this very thread, I'll disengage instead of throwing myself in pointless flame-wars). As for why I don't think it was ragebait, he has frequently been
topic-banned too for exactly this sort of behavior. Also they have been
banned from other threads prior to that as well but evidently their modus operandi did not change, and this was just their latest iteration of that. And funny enough, Mr. Bambu
basically agreed at that point that it's just a display of pettiness, only difference between that and this instance here is the fact that no slur was used. So yeah I'm not just being a big bully to some innocent user here this was a frustrating debate against a user who has multiple past transgressions for exactly this sort of behavior, and THAT is where I may have been more aggressive than I should've been, that's all this is.
I'm not gonna quote all of these, because my response is basically exactly the same for them all (they're all a single message by the way, not multiple instances across multiple back-to-back days like what I suspect was being portrayed there). I guess I fell for some cheap ragebait and was a bit more aggressive than I should have been, and certainly there probably was a better way to deal with this. But this was (still is!) a constant pattern with this user (and yes he's gotten reported and warned for this, before you ask).
Also this? This is me referring to the fact that he actually DID get perma-thread banned (I think it was permanent?) from the Dragon Ball Daima discussion thread for the EXACT same behavior he consistently showed in the general thread for even longer than in the former. Yeah, this isn't me just hamming some innocent user here like you're portraying here, he has actually been reported, warned and even thread-banned for it and it was well-deserved indeed. Oh and yeah he was given a forum ban too btw, one month, not just once but
twice (3 months the first time, not sure how their second offense warranted a less severe punishment though). Well-deserved once again but unfortunately that behavior continued. Even reported himself myself a while ago. And most of what the staff said about him in those links? All of that still holds true today unfortunately. One of the reasons for this was making highly illogical, pointless revisions and
he did it again here after endlessly "debating" supporters with absolute nothingburgers and was almost unanimously rejected including by Damage who is usually more receptive to good downgrade attempts on the very first page of the CRT. I mean just
look at this lmao, tell me this user or anything they say is even worth taking seriously remotely, then tell me it's unreasonable to be frustrated when they do this CONSTANTLY in a thread refusing to have their mind changed as well, even when the conversation doesn't involve them typically, despite obvious past warnings and a truckload of thread and forum bans. But wait, you might be thinking that this is just a harmless, confused user right?? Wrong, and
this here pretty much proves they know what they are/were doing, they just didn't care. He's right, he deserves to be banned from DB discussions, I absolutely support that.
All this just to reinforce the point that I'm not "unfairly" attacking anyone there; I didn't attack him personally, I did attack their argument and called it garbage (which I have a right to and I won't change that opinion), but yes I could've been calmer though I doubt it'd do much to resolve their issue of being constantly disruptive. This user is EXTREMELY problematic, the bigger problem is and as you can clearly see always has been their behavior, but once again I can and will still do better.
NOTE: There's another implicit informal warning by Damage here to the thread in general.
And that about sums up most of this so-called report here. Most if not all of this stuff was a minor flame-war that died down on both ends when a mod stepped in and told us to chill the hell out. Most of this was also in the RVR at one point and mods expressed a similar sentiment. Again, nothing report-worthy here by itself other than admittedly some slight aggression on my part which I do explain the cause of but obviously I'll never justify it when my goal upon returning has been to do consistently better; which I'll once again proudly state that I have been.
Among the latest offenses the user has committed is mocking users so that they leave the thread and making ironic comments about it:
Yeah, this is not a serious report dude. Unanimous has said a million times by now that they were gonna leave a thread or whatever and they never do that, it's not report-worthy to call that out. This is literally just some banter, and heck Damage was even present there I believe and I didn't even get an informal warning for it this time. Not saying that I'll use this to repeat this until I get one obviously, I'm always gonna do better than last time, but that should tell you enough about how utterly inconsequential 99% of this "report" is.
Of course. This is the actual cause behind this "report". A petty, spite-driven post because I dared call out something I perceived as needlessly aggressive even though my comment didn't go much beyond that. Heck, I wouldn't even have posted it to begin with if I had noticed that FinePoint's report already included it, I thought it was missed so I wanted to include it, that's all.
So yeah, this is all I have to say to this "report" here. It is very obviously a spite-motivated report, nothing more.
Now with all of that said, the moderator still gets the final say. So if any of this is truly report-worthy or warning-worthy or heck even ban-worthy (remember I do have an actual formal warning on my tracker alone with unanimous, my only formal warning so far I think) then.... it is what it is, I guess. So if I get warned again, I'll happily take it and strive to do even better. If I get banned then well..... I guess I did my best and still infinitely better than my last presence here, please do at least leave a message on my wall if that happens. Heck I'll even take a perma-ban at this point if that's what solves it the quickest I guess, not that I think it's warranted of course, but that's not my place to decide, but simply because I REALLY don't want to bicker over here over such an obviously petty report, I'm too tired for that kinda back and forth. That'll be all.
