Grats on Mod!

After seeing Fr's latest post, it only feels appropriate I address his concerns and respond. Firstly I am not at all angry with what Fr did as he was appropriately addressing the concerns of the community or what he thought to be its concerns. While I would have much rather have had it done in PM based on the amount of support I got I can't help but feel it was better off being left to the public.

Firstly I will be the first one to note about my immaturity. I understand that a mod speaking in "karps" and mocking hackers is not the ideally professional mod that someone may want to represent the community. The reason I do these things is when I was first beginning to put in effort to become staff is that I thought that the community would put more trust in me if I was a relatable fun loving "fish" rather than a robotic judge that issued punishments coldly from an iron throne.

Then there is the rage issue. I admit that I was indeed raging for losing against duels to my brother TBDR_Blastoise. While I know myself I'm not that bad of a person, pride is something that challenges me time and time again. I was (and am still) in the midst of a bad cold/illness so unfortunately my mental clarity is not at its finest because I am usually able to keep my temper in check. However me being forced to leave the server because of rage shouldn't seem as a flaw, but a demonstration I had the presence of mind to leave so as not to issue any rage fueled punishments.

Then there is the issue of the warning points. I have repeated this story time and time again but now it seems I am forced to discuss it once more, this time exposing details previously left to staff only. I had locked the thread of a troll once he started flaming the staff and it was quite clear that he was only going to start argument. Thus I locked the thread and then was reported by this troll under the pretext of my post being "autistic" hence the report "reason: autism." The actions he took after this were very inappropriate flaming both myself and xytrius. Since I locked the thread where he made offensive posts on I had no choice but to do it on my wall where conveniently he recently posted insulting content as well. Note that I did not issue warning points because of the wall but rather what he did prior.

Then there is the issue of mocking hackers. I personally have zero respect for anyone who comes on here and uses hacks. Therefore I find myself unable to act civilly to someone who would go out of his way to ruin the gaming experience of the community simply for his own personal enjoyment. However after seeing the concern it caused, I will limit the mockery(as many other staff do) to only the staff channels.

Then there is me being defensive of when weakk said he'd report me. It seems that my sarcasm for that joke flew over everyones head as I didn't at all get angry but reacted in the usual sarcastic way I always do i.e. "nuuuuu pls" and what not. Frankly it surprised me that this was even a concern as I react in a joking manner to all of the chat threats of reporting me in the exact same manner.

I have spoken with fr and there are no hard feelings and let us all move on from this and not resent fr for voicing his concerns and the conceived concerns of the community (although realistically the fact that he missed the amount of people chanting for me to be mod is surprising and a bit humorous).

I am glad I was given this opportunity to know what I should do to better myself and assuage the fears of the community. May I serve the people of this server well and continue doing my job with newfound experience and a heightened consciousness of my actions.

Congrats on Mod!
