I resort to trolling whenever I feel I'm being mistreated. Call it immature, call it moronic. It's almost a silent protest. Nothing is more disrespectful than having a complaint dismissed, sometimes without reason. Why should I waste my time with a serious response if they won't take me seriously? I've had days where I've gotten numerous infractions on purpose. Right now I'm on six infractions. I'm harmless. I don't do anything malicious. It's just how I portray my frustration. It's the only way I know how to portray it. Some people scam. I flame.

It was more systematic for me. Nothing to do with Finn or a specific person. If a user was causing an inordinate amount of staff time as a result of rule breaking, I didn't want them on the site(and still wouldn't). Consistently trolling isn't good for a community. I would argue that can drive away users and that your post above justifies my response.

Sometimes, you don't troll, but just spam and harass members, so stop it.

This Finn fellow sounds like an arrogant douche.
It was a good read. Enjoyed reading a piece of Sythe's history.

The following weeks did nothing to improve my situation. Nick, who I'd had many great conversation, we were almost friends, immediately turned on me. In my pardon, he said that he felt that the reform had been completely faked. That was infuriating. Where was all of this before? I felt betrayed. Maybe because I knew if we swapped places I would certainly not have done the same.

He did the same to me lol, I got demoted for a stupid reason, and the first person to block me and who wouldn't hear any of it was Nick.

Also when Finn made that thread telling everybody to block me in the staff lounge, there were only a few mods who didn't. Those were the cool people, I forgot who they were though. Even Gohan blocked me, when we were friends for over a year by then. Although he did unblock me and apologize.

And about the trolls being good people, I completely agree, and it's a shame Richard doesn't feel the same way. They wouldn't be here just to troll, they enjoy the community, and then they voice their opinions and get banned. Some of them have even served on staff, but were banned anyway. Even if it's 2 weeks, how bad would that suck, knowing you just gave your opinion on something and got banned.

le meh face.

I hardly feel I was a constant rule breaker at the time.

Look at the seven month gap. The 23rd was the day of FID. How was I a chronic rule breaker.


Edit.

Here's another example of you trying to appease higher level staff at my expense. This was done while my omm app was pending. An app that took me well over a year to do. I think this was one of the reasons I was denied.

Don't act innocent nick. Your rise through the ranks wasn't a clean one.

Got a sore head reading all that on a cracked iPhone screen but good on you for sticking up for yourself and not bowing down like a bitch

Interesting read. I was technically demoted over asking Finn whether I'd ever be considered for global, and then he veto'd my return to staff until I realised that there wasn't really reason for me to return whilst he was still here. Ultimately it's a site run by volunteers (excluding Matthew and Sythe, for whom understandably it's also a financial venture) thus personalities and egos will inevitably clash, and human error will occur.

This is seriously amazing. You've really improved a lot since you made me a signature, but even the signature you made me is awesome.

I now administrate a graphics forum (which is solely comprised of the remaining community from the days of PR, along with a few new faces) - so it's still a hobby

 

I won't forget what you had to go through coz of FID. but your reason for ban was completely different.

Yeah it was. It's a shame I had to start again from scratch on here, but now it doesn't really bother me.

Enjoyed the read, definitely due to being around (and sometimes apart of) all the drama. May write a longer response later, but about to leave for work.

@john
While I get your comment at Floyd about not being on staff, it's not really that black-and-white. To be fair, pretty much anyone within the "higher-workings" of Sythe knew how Staff functioned and how easily they could be removed from Sythe.

Yea I remember back in 2010 when Finn promoted me as moderator and then we both asked some kid for nudes and he gave them to us and we then banned him. LE XD

 

I stand by my decision. The situation with you "predicting" promotions consistently was suspicious. You trolled during that whole conversation, again, helping earn that reputation. You may not have gotten infracted for your posts, but I'm sure some had to be deleted, forum bans probably issued, etc. With regard to OMM: you're right, your activity on the site did play a role in your application. OMM were never picked on trustworthiness alone. If you acted like an idiot (baby jesus, really?) both on the forums and elsewhere, the staff wouldn't want you representing the site.

There were other concerns with you, Marrow, along with Syed. Unfortunately, I can't go pull them out of the admin vault. But I want to say that we had to block you, Syed, or face consequences ourselves. I don't really remember.

True, the thread I'm talking about was pretty threatening, it was included in the Sindrefyrn leak, so I remember it.

Meh, this was before that though, I'm talking about when I was demoted for the 1227 shit. You pretty much blocked me right after, it's been so long though(almost 3 years, holy shit), that it doesn't bother me anymore.

Jesse was hardly a model member. Cut the bullshit. Syed was just as bad as I was and he was accepted only months prior. We both know my omm denial had less to do with my character than it did with agendas. Lets revisit the conversation. There was no leaker, and I had a stupid sectional trying to convince me that somebody had confessed to leaking to me out of the blue. I was never going to take you seriously.

No one gives a fuck about all this you said, who said mod drama...

This thread is now about kittens.
