Some More TWoP Thoughts

Jan 26, 2006 08:20

I've been thinking some more about being banned by TWoP. And here's the thing. I deserved it. I mean I basically told current members that I was the reincarnation of staygold, who had been banned before. If the bannings are going to mean anything, then they had to ban me for that. I get it ( Read more... )

I feel absolutely TERRIBLE! I'm so very sorry. I was just happy you were still there, I had no idea you'd been banned, I just figured you'd changed your username like Maxy had done previously. I should have emailed you, like you mentioned. I just thought the meet markets were a little more flexible. I didn't, and still don't, understand how their warning/banning thing works.

I apologize! I don't know who reported you, I think that sucks ass! *sniffle* I'm glad you're on LJ though. Do you want me to email CB or someone and ask them to reconsider? I feel like this is all my fault.

Don't feel bad, Maka. Not your fault. I knew the deal was that I couldn't refer back to my old self after being banned. I kinda thought that MeetMarket was exempt, but I was wrong. It was actually my request for you to email me that got me banned again, CB thought I was luring people in to rant to them about the evils of TWoP or something.

I don't think anyone reported me. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think he just read it in going through the boards.

Don't email anyone. I'm letting it go. Like I said, what I really want to know someday is what I did that was rude in the first place. No one has ever told me or answered any questions about it. Did I ever seem rude to you?

Not your fault.

Thanks, I'm still sorry though. I don't understand the rude comment in regard to your original banning, I never saw you being rude, but who knows what's considered rude to certain mods? I guess they're all different - Maxy pointed that out in her journal - some are more strict than others I guess?

I love TWoP so I'm sorry this all went down. I know someone else who recently got banned as well, and it was sad. The LJ community is quite active with VM too though, so hopefully you'll have a good time with this place. There are communities you can join, and they usually aren't as strict. Lots of TWoPers are on LJ too, so that's good. They always have interesting things to say.

On to more pleasant things. Did you hear about RT saying he sort of sees L/V as an endgame for the show? Pretty nifty.

Hey, Mark! That sucks that you got banned again. And I'm with you that I really didn't understand the problem the first time around. I actually think CB is usually pretty fair (and he once e-mailed me to reassure me about something when he totally didn't have to, so I have a certain fondness for him), and can see how he felt that he should ban you for that this time around, even though I think it probably wasn't necessary. Anyway, I'll be looking out for your SamCallahan posts, if you're still planning on that. You'll have to disguise yourself well, maybe act like a newbie at first. Heh.

P.S. I friended you back! Glad to see you on lj, it's definitely a place where we can get good discussion going without worrying about warnings or anything. Hope to see you posting now and then.

Hi. I really like your suggestions for TWoP. I think the problem could be that there aren't enough people with enough time running it to make it as fair as it should be, plus there are so many diverse people posting there with a whole variety of ideas of what is rude, what is a personal attack, etc. I can see how it must be hard for the mods to deal with all that in a fair way, so they have to kind of have a dictatorship and some people get screwed in the process. But overall, I think it's a pretty awesome site, if it wasn't I guess we wouldn't be so worried about being kicked off. Anyway, I'm glad you're perservering. And I'm going to friend you here if that's allright. I'm rosiecat from TWoP.

Of course it's OK if you friend me. I friended you first! Figured out who you were...And for the most part I love TWoP too, which is saying something given the struggles I've had there.

hey, i was wondering where you went and i saw your name in a LJ comments section. i lurk in the logan/veronica thread on TWoP and i used to love reading your comments, and then you disapeared. so its good to know you're still out there and still a L/V fan. ok im sure this comment was really random and weird... i'll leave now
p.s - this is actually the first time that i have posted anywhere connected to VM, so you should feel proud of how much i missed your posts.
