TheRat, me.....
What did I do? I came in all minding my own business and got attacked from day one about typing and grammar. I was going though some rough times, lost my temper a time or two. But I tried to remain optimistic and humorous as I could. So I started life out on the gamefaq and official sega boards, you wanna complain about disorganised and sloppy, try starting a rational discussion with anyone there.
See I made the mistake of assuming if it was in the, then named Fun House, it was fair game. Little did I know it was a super mod I was making war with, of which I admitted my mistakes numerous times. The first time I was banned it was because I made the mistake of calling someone a name regarding their liking of a certain game, when in fact other regulars had made fun of me for liking a certain game they despised.
I tried to plead my case but because of the flaming that got out of place in that thread I made about Infernal Monkey and then the posts I made about Lindsay Lohan, I had no chance to defend myself. Then Wandering found a way to sneak me in the back door, of which I was opposed to doing and even sent emails to Johny explaining what had happened and was given permission to rejoin the community as long as I didn't lose my temper again, I went a long time without getting into any serious discussions, then I had one too many friends losing their lives too suddenly and I grew careless and went on a flame rampage. It was something I said to Pale or Bloodworth regarding that Spike character which provoked my public apology to both parties.
Then when I thought things were back to normal everyone accused Spike of being my dupe account, which set me off again because I couldn't get anyone to listen to reason. So I was banned because of something I said to Smash_bros during that whole debacle. The only reason I was let back in was because of the new forums, it was Shyguy who told me about it. I made up my mind I would not fall for those traps ever again, I learned the hardway that certain forum regulars can get away with anything, so long as it is in the funhouse, were as I had to be extra careful.
I wasn't given a chance to 'conform" I was just banned for following everyone else's examples. So as far as that goes I am all for the new rules as long as they are clear to the user up front. I learned also that people will treat you better and be more tolerant of your personality flaws so long as you attempt to use proper grammar and correct spelling
