*cough* Now then... I'm ganna mae this as clear as possible, and I am fully aware of tha consequences that it wll Attract. But I won't stop just because some morons're ganna ban me. My life isn't PC anymore, like it once used ta be.
-*CENSORSHIP DISABLED*- Let's take those stupid things off for tha moment. This isn't your usual flame post, ya know. >.=.>
The censors are there for a reason--there ARE younger people on this board. Swearing is no way to get your point across. Though sometimes it can be used to show urgency or passion, etc...other times it just makes the user come across as immature. That was just so you know why we have the censors. Moving on to address the rest of your posts.
But things changed over time. Unknown to me, tha staff began having arguments and power Struggles, tch, an' poor Claire, Dragons bless her, quit. I dunno how tha staff works, but I thin she was a vital part of PC's ballance. By tha way she posted she looked like a kind, understanding person, who was probably a good mediator. What's even more, Kylie-chan's position as staff Strengthened tha rules around here, tch, an' gradualy, PC became strict an' deprived of any fun. Suss was no longer allowed, and any fun that naughty conversations brought was Cut off.
You know why Claire quit? Do you? It was because of members constantly putting down the staff and all that we worked for. She was sick of hearing on a daily basis that we were all biased or working against the greater good. Do you know how strange it is to hear someone praising her so highly in the exact post in which they're doing the one thing she detested so strongly? Seriously--before you pick a fight, start an argument, etc...learn the material. Claire was a kind and understanding person, and yes, she was a good mediator. She also played a big part in the promotion of many of our staff--Kylie included. So by trying to put Kylie down so much, you're merely damaging the ideals you hold so dearly in terms of Claire and her abilities. -_-;
A forum is supposed ta be fun, tch, an' PC is now far from being that. And there's nobody else but tha staff ta blame for it. I don't know exactly how or why, tch, but it seems that PC's staff's minds were warped big time. Possibly either because of tha fights that've been going on or because of staff ppl like Kylie.
Yes, a forum is supposed to be fun. Fun for
everyone--remember that. What you find fun and what someone else finds fun may differ, and that's okay. But not when it crosses the line. I'm sorry if you think our minds are "warped" but we DO do our work for the members. I remind you that we're people too, with school, work, social lives, etc. Most of us aren't even out of high school yet and you expect us to be perfect. You don't know what goes on in the hidden staff forums, so don't suddenly assume that things there have changed how we act--sure, we may be a little more tense now but I assure you that what went on in the DCC would NEVER have been tolerated at PC up to and including now. If it were, I would seriously have doubted the staff's competence.
For a start, outbursts like Steve's in tha DCC and others have killed good threads and chased good ppl away ta forums like mUnity. Then there's tha so-called inappropriate talk. Staff watched, participated, and even enjoyed it. And now all of a sudden they'z sayin' that it's inappropriate... tch... **** hypocrites. *spits* Okay, tch, I know how staff operates and how personal feelings're irrelevant and pale in tha face of rules, as with everything in society's legislation, which is why tha world is as ****ed up as it is now... but yar ganna listen to them anyways. Because law may be above feelings, but in the end feelings always always prevail. Large masses of people move, driven by them, and overthrow tha dictatorship.
I don't recall Steve's outburst; I probably wasn't here that night or something. But seriously--the stuff I've been hearing? Completely inappropriate. I don't care if the staff were participating--the ones who were were definitely in the wrong. You stand there saying personal feelings are irrelevant and that we don't care, but look at what you're doing! Do you know how stressful it is to get on and see people complaining about the things I've poured almost three years of my life into? How about the staff's feelings? If you really wanted that to be one of your main arguments, you wouldn't do the same thing. I like using clich?s in my drawn-out posts, so here's a good one: treat others as you would like to be treated. But that aside, we do our best to uphold the rules and to make
everyone comfortable. If that means banning inappropriate talk that doesn't even belong on an all-ages forum, then so be it. Don't like it? Well, some things we'll ease up on and maybe let by but not everything. This is one of those things that just can't stay.
I will NOT suc***b. And I will NOT obey. I refuse to obey such st00pid constraints and dictatorship as is happening on PC. There is nothing wrong with wanting ta make it with a Dragon. And anyone who thinks differently is wrong. I was denied tha right ta stand up for my beliefs in tha DCC so I will do so here. Talking about looking under the tail of a Charizard and drinking her hot Water Gun is NOT that inappropriate as ta be condemned as it was. And if tha staff think it is, then they need help. I m totally pissed by tha way I was treated there an' demand an appology aswell as a confirmation about how right I was and how wrong they were. Most of tha staff, except for a few members such as Andy and Alen, are being way too strict and need ta revise their position towards things.
...yes, I would definitely label that inappropriate. I know
I didn't really want to read that and I'm sixteen. Pok?mon, regretfully, is a dying fandom--most of the remaining fans are children under the age of 13. My brother's eleven and I most certainly wouldn't want him to be reading things like that! We aren't condemning your beliefs, we're simply requesting you leave such things OFF of our all-ages forum. I don't want to hear about it so there definitely have to be others. But I also want you do know it's not personal and we aren't "condemning" what you've said simply because the staff themselves don't like it--we're doing it for every single person on this board. If you'd bothered to read the rules of the forum you apparently loved so dearly, you would see we don't allow sexual topics of any kind--that also applies to the DCC and last I checked, what you just said up there is definitely sexual in nature--you wanna talk about that, take it to another forum or MSN. It doesn't belong on PC. It's in the rules. Please, don't complain about that.
For those of you who are part of what made PC tha ****ty mess that it is today, shame on you, and may you remain as oblivious to tha harm that you're causing as you are today. Because in this pace th forum'll go down in no time, and you'll have nobody ta **** about it but yourselves. I've found myself a friend for life in here, and now that I have him, this place is now really no longer of any importance ta me at all.
I'm sorry you think PC is such a "****ty mess." You know how whenever someone has a problem we say, "if you have a problem, PM one of the staff"? That's because the staff are here to
help. If you have a problem, we'll help deal with it and explain or justify why it was done. If you still don't agree, then I'm sorry but you'll just have to accept it. I don't know who you've specifically contacted about all of this, but posting things like this as intended propoganda is not right regardless. If you truly had loved this forum, you'd just leave quietly because honestly, a "revolution" isn't going to help anything. People have already tried that before. -_-; Trust me since I'm talking from personal experience.
Oh, btw I said SUC***B earlier in my post and it got censored because it contained tha letters ***. You guys should work that exception out... Geez, you **** ppl can't even find time ta take tha bugs outta this forum cause you're all busy buggin' innocent ppl like me. <.=.<
Apologies. Some of the settings on the board have been messed up since the coding screwed up a few days and and in the mad rush to fix everything for
you, the members, we apparently missed updating and fixing the censored list, so things that shouldn't be censored in such a fashion accidentally were.
I was typing this before this was closed, as I did actually put time and effort into my reply, out of respect for you. I still wanted to be heard so I'm going to post this regardless. Please, if you want to respond to me, as I assume you very well will want to, then either PM me or contact me on MSN
