My thread related to my banner/sig.

[Sora96 17,256]

Firstly I admit now that I should never have made that thread. But I never thought for a second you guys would treat me like that.

 

It was made as a laugh, and to inform you that I've updated my banner/sig.

 

To be 100% honest, my banner/sig does not include any actual bragging what so ever. Everything in my banner/sig is a result of hard work. None of that was handed to me.

 

I am sadden by what some of you did. Some people more than others. Even people I respect joined in and contributed.

 

If you don't like my banner/sig or my threads then just ignore them.

 

The Random forum is a forum of laughs and jokes but a lot of you went too far. A joke only goes so far.

 

I thought the Forum Team were supposed deal with issues like this not go along with it and make it even worse.

 

Some people that I respect less than others though didn't join in, and actually posted something nice or remotely nice. I was surprised at that, but of course very thankful!

 

When I went to bed last night the thread was fine, but when I got home from school I found the emails along the lines of these: one with "Kaiso has locked the thread" and the other being "24 replies to the thread." I instantly thought, "What happened?" I went straight to the thread and went through it. It got worse and worse with each of the replies. With each one I started to go through them faster. It wasn't long before I asked for the thread to be taken down.

 

To make matters worse some people discussed it via status updates. And the comments continued the trend of making it worse.

 

 

The usual suspects were among this, but the people would should have been against this weren't and those that don't usually do type of thing did it. I clearly saw the people who liked the posts as well. So just because you didn't post anything wrong, just liking one of the worst of the posts contributed a lot. What an explanation how? Sure!

 

Someone posted an image and then a heap of people like it. See how those likes changed it?

 

I've tried my best not to point fingers at the worst offenders while writing this. And I wont.

 

But I'm sure you've realised who the worst offenders were.

 

If anyone wants to talk to me about this then feel free to via chat, PM or MSN. Up to you. I'd rather not on this thread.

 

And that should be it.

I just said I wanted down-votes back. Don't take it out on me!

 

In all seriousness. I don't see the point of this thread. No you shouldn't have made the post. People called you out on it. You don't need to turn around and call THEM out for calling YOU out.

 

"A joke only goes so far". Your perception of "far" might be different from others. Your thread initially was pretty "far" in my opinion.

 

In summary

-> Lol

-> Please don't continue pointing fingers. I don't care which side you are on. Everyone apologise, kiss and make up, and move on.

Honestly, the fact of the matter is, even a moderator of a game within a website hosting various games, even one with maybe 40 players, knows better. You updated your signature to say 'number one poster'-- how is that not bragging? The thread itself was titled "just to brag a little". A moderator of anything; from a game, to a site, to a team leader at work, knows the difference between acting with decorum and not.

 

Nothing in my comments prior stated anything mildly rude or abrasive. I replied with disappointment. The only thing I can really say at this point is that yet again, I'm disappointed, at your clear lack of insight into your own wrongs in this. Admittedly, I agree that many of the replies were not constructive, but the fact of the matter is, it takes two to tango. If you don't want to see those styles of replies, then don't make posts of that nature.

 

I also apologize for replying directly to this post, however, as you've deemed fit to make the post itself, it's only fitting that replies should be just as public in nature.

Not bragging. It's an achievement. I even asked DChiuch for permission to add it.

That's well and good-- the thread was also permitted, then? And the title "Just to brag a little..."? The content: "My signature does it for me. "? The basic fact that I'm trying to get to here is yes, people reacted badly. Amazingly, people have that trait to them. However, people react more often than not when triggered; and once again, as a staff member, part of your participation should not be to stir up such situations. Nor to continue aggrivating the situation with a post such as this, which is going to gain a much more negative reception than the previous one.

Your opinion is noted. I didn't need to ask permission to post that. But as I already stated I now know that I never should have, but when I did I never thought people would treat me like that. I didn't intend to stir anything up. I simply intended to advertise and have a laugh. But I didn't laugh, quite the opposite.

 

I had to post this thread tonight, I had to get this out.

I can hear your situation, and to an extent understand. I think the major thing that I want to emphasize to you is that right there, on the top right hand side of every post and reply you make? "Team Leader". To an extent, people are willing to expect more from you than others, because of what you are, and what you're representing. Everyone makes mistakes, but more than anything, it's important to note that what you do really reflects on the site and the conduct maintained therein.

 

I'm shutting up now, promise.

[Tails 6,692]

Honestly Sora96, I just don't think you have a good sense of humor. I mean, half of the posts you make on the random section are not really all that funny.

[Sora96 17,256]

That's because I don't always post threads in random that are funny. The forum does contain threads that are aren't funny. And that is solely your opinion.

WEll I was talking about the posts you make on the random section. Wasn't talking aboiut the posts you made on other sections lol. Sorry for the confusion.

[HarLea Quinn 26,501]

I agree with what Aaron and Eraldaine said...plus there are plenty of times you have made many highly offensive posts/ comments that arent funny at all and in turn it breeds hostilty. It also makes people lose respect for you .No one intended to hurt you but i hope that you can realize how this ended the way it did .

[Robbie the Wise 5,050]

You know what Sora96 usually I would feel bad but you brought it on yourself, nine times out of ten the way you felt on your thread is how you make everyone else feel on other threads especially when you report them for stupid stuff or insult in your tirades on Australia being the greatest in the world. You made a thread about bragging and got called out on it plain and simple. Your supposed to be a leader on this site so act like one and you'll be treated like one.

[4Everbee 1,365]

Lol I look at all thees comment and I don't know what wrong with yous haha.

Yea 96 is not funny but that don't mean you have to be so mean. If you find somebody annoying then don't look at their posts or topics.

Easy as that.

Anyways

I'm sorry if I insult you.

[Protoman 1,974]

You're only hurt because it effected only your pride. People called you out, but you shouldn't make yourself a pity party.

[Tom 437]

So it's our fault that everyone called you out on it and thus your thread got closed in the process, when you made the thread about bragging, ESPECIALLY since we all you're a bragger in the first place, and of course we were going to call you out on it?

 

Honestly, I'm trying to figure out a response this, so I don't get you butthurt.

 

You simply just can't take a joke. We, as the people of the Internet, are not your best friends. We can make jokes about you if we want, and obviously, we did. I didn't have any part of it, since I wasn't online when this happened, but even I find you quite a bit ridiculous posting this. There was nothing wrong with the jokes, you just got to be a serious sack of serious. I would know because I have been here just as long as you, and I see how you act. This is why you should refrain from posting in the Random forum, because if you can't handle it, you shouldn't be posting threads. Definitely don't post something that will end up making you look bad, which is lulz since you do that quite a bit.

 

Why do you think the mods didn't do anything about these god awful members that dare make fun of you? Because they too, found it as a joke. And of course, there was nothing truly wrong. Sure, members were getting out of hand, but 3 years both of us have been here, what are really expecting now? I'm not even surprised whatsoever.

 

You're always bragging about something, and of course, you just had to make a thread in doing so, even if it was a "joke". How do you even get hurt to know that people called you out in bragging, when everyone knows you do it? That's unfair, in fact, that's just disgraceful. It doesn't even have to be even about your signature or the work you did on KH13. Bragging about one thing constantly, and you're a subject of being called out.

 

You're probably going to ignore anyway, since apparently Aaron's opinion didn't seem to matter, but truth hurts. I'm a dick myself, but you...you're just going overboard with everyone calling you out, and pointing fingers like we're the root of all evil. More or less, shame on you for blaming lots of members for your silliness. I am disappoint, Mr. Sora.

 

tl;dr: Get out more, and learn to not take everything to the heart BECAUSE ITS A JOKE.

[Loki 1,184]

Everyone apologise, kiss and make up, and move on.

 

I thought this said "kiss and make out" and got excited. Then I read it again and was disappointed.

 

@Topic: I saw your thread and, honestly, I thought, 'I can post a funny, snarky comment, but I dont really like going for the easy targets'. But you realized that you shouldnt have made the thread so I think you know this already. But I always say this: If you push someone, theyll push back. That goes with asserting superiority. People become intimidated and naturally lash back. I dont think you should think less of the people who joined in because it was a natural reaction. Worry about yourself and think of what you can do better next time.

[Amon 4,279]

You took something in Random seriously. I didn't think that was possible, even for you. This thread also hurts to read. I'm just going to break down some things that stood out. Most of your post is run of the mill whining so I won't touch up on everything.

 

It was made as a laugh, and to inform you that I've updated my banner/sig.

 

If that was made as a joke then that means every other post you ever made consist of extremely bad jokes. Cut the BS. Also, a thread is unnecessary for informing people you've updated your sig. That's what status updates are for.

 

To be 100% honest, my banner/sig does not include any actual bragging what so ever. Everything in my banner/sig is a result of hard work. None of that was handed to me. I am sadden by what some of you did. Some people more than others. Even people I respect joined in and contributed.

Whenever someone says "I don't mean to brag" it means they are bragging. Everyone knows that. Also, while I do acknowledge that you dedicated your own free time to whatever the hell is in your sig, you shouldn't brag for lending a helping hand. It's fine to sport all that stuff in your signature, but making sure people know it by advertising it crosses the line.

 

If you don't like my banner/sig or my threads then just ignore them. The Random forum is a forum of laughs and jokes but a lot of you went too far. A joke only goes so far.I thought the Forum Team were supposed deal with issues like this not go along with it and make it even worse.Some people that I respect less than others though didn't join in, and actually posted something nice or remotely nice. I was surprised at that, but of course very thankful!

I though most people would have the common sense to ignore you, but when I saw the thread well into the 3rd page when I logged on I knew you had to of done something to piss people off. Cut the talk with "laughs" and "jokes". For the most part we weren't being hostile to you. Kaiso locked the thread before people like you, who take random threads seriously, ruin the laughs and jokes.

 

The usual suspects were among this, but the people would should have been against this weren't and those that don't usually do type of thing did it. I clearly saw the people who liked the posts as well. So just because you didn't post anything wrong, just liking one of the worst of the posts contributed a lot. What an explanation how?

Suspects? I see you are treating us like criminals now! But in the end, what this all boils down to is like whoring. I told you so everybody. Without negative ratings, the positive ones have no real value other than vanity. Glad to see Aaron has started seeing things my way. Hopefully he will pester DC enough to have it implemented.

 

Finally, creating a thread about this just makes the matter worse. We all would of forgotten it by the end of the week but I guess you love all the attention. If you want attention, post old images in random.

So just leave him alone and move on.

Only one person chose to PM their opinion like I asked. So those that didn't probably wanted others to see their opinion.

I would also like to thank 4Everbee and Genn for what they have said.

Omg this still happens, not surprised tbh
