I think the implication that I haven’t been punished enough for what I’ve done is what’s leading to the clear distaste, no-... some hate, towards me from a fair amount of staff. That much is obvious. It’s been said by several, and it’s been shown. So if that’s the issue, then fine. If I haven’t been punished enough, then punish me properly KT. 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, a year, I don’t care. Decide what you think is appropriate and enforce it. I will accept it. Because what I’m tired of is this constant state where my name carries this weight no matter what I do. I’m tired of the likes on oppositionary posts, the dismissiveness, the way anything I say is immediately treated as less. I’m tired of being written off as incapable by staff, as someone who can’t even form his own arguments. I’m tired. I don’t believe I’m a bad person (sometimes). I genuinely try harder than people think, no, I try my hardest. But clearly, that doesn’t matter in the current state of things.
So do what you think needs to be done. If I need to be banned for longer for my "sins", then do it. If I need to be shut out completely, then do that too. Just make it clear.
If there are personal issues with me beyond that, then let’s talk about them properly. Add me on Discord, vapour5095. If there’s a problem, we can handle it like normal people instead of letting it sit and rot like this, and yeah, I'm talking to you, Bambu, KLOL, Dale, M3X. But this, this constant limbo (My homeboy), needs to end.
So if I'm banned, then so be it. I will accept what punishment I deserve for my sockpuppet activities, so that at least I can come back to the site with somewhat open arms and not have it used against me constantly, as you guys do.
Personal request.
Unless Vzearr has been banned for more than 3 months for the prior bullshit that they've done, do not ping me to the RVR regarding them again.
I have no issue with appealing. I have issues with slaps on the wrist. I'm not giving him one because he had a self revelation that he was a bad user.
Honestly, it’s disappointing and frustrating how Vzearr keeps escaping punishment. He is a member who has contributed absolutely nothing productive. His threads are poorly made and AI-generated. His comments are generally accompanied by rudeness and sarcastic replies. He is the reason Tokyo Revengers got banned on our Wiki. He is the reason this thread has about 5 pages just to discuss what punishment to give him. He is also the reason why, apparently, we will have to assign staff or regular members to keep an eye on him. That’s just absurd.
It’s unbelievable that anything short of a permanent ban is even being considered. And it’s even more absurd that some staff members had the nerve to agree with just a ‘warning’. For the love of God, this guy created sock puppets and INFILTRATED our staff. He shows no improvement in his behavior and always causes problems.
You are protecting a member who spat on the wiki and spat on the staff. You are setting absolutely absurd precedents that will come back to haunt you.
This guy should have been banned a long time ago, and permanently, with no appeals. He is not special, he is just another problematic member that should have been dealt with already. And I’m sure this frustration I have is something that many members of this forum agree with and share.
I didn’t realize that my past actions, along with the leniency I admittedly received, had caused so much frustration among members here. I know I made mistakes in the past, some of them quite serious. At 1 point, I just wanted to hide behind the Vzearr, leave everything behind, and start fresh as a new member. I understand now that it was wrong, and I shouldn’t have done that. But I did, and over time, I realized I didn’t want to continue like that, especially if it meant being dishonest with people I care about here, like Ant and others. That’s why I eventually revealed myself. It became difficult to keep up the act, and the guilt was something I didn’t want to carry anymore. I knew I would likely face a ban for it, and I was prepared for that. Afterward, I tried to just be a normal user and be completely open, but that also led to me speaking too freely. My unfiltered way of expressing myself often came across as rude, and I understand that now. I also recognize that I’ve caused issues, partly due to my own personal struggles and transitions in life. In doing so, I may have overlooked how my behavior affected others. I understand the frustration of staff members like
@KingTempest,
@Dalesean027, and
@KLOL506, and I’m sorry to everyone who felt hurt or disrespected because of me. At the same time, I’m human too, and it’s difficult not to be affected by the amount of negativity and hate directed at me. That said, as Kingtempest mentioned, it may be best for everyone if I receive a ban so things can settle for everyone. If a ban is necessary for this hate to settle down, I accept that. If it needs to be longer than 1 month, even six months or a year, I’m fine with that. If it helps ease tensions, then so be it. All I hope is that if I do return, I won’t be judged entirely by my past, and that people might be open to seeing me in a different light. I’d like the chance for a fresh start. And thank you to those who were still hopeful of me and didn’t lose faith in me
I debate IRL topics and powerscaling.
