DepressedNeonNepp 154 Posted October 16, 2018 Over the past week or so I've been doing alot to work on myself to return. I've dealt with some stressful things that have been making me really toxic. I hope this is the last post I'll make on hellos and goodbyes because I want to stay. 1 2 1 Dannypicacho, SyrixCoffeeWolf, ScottNi and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScottNi 51 Posted October 16, 2018 I don't know you very well. But I do hope you try to get a bit better here on the forums. But other than that I hope some of the toxicity in your life is being dealt with, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tekk 272 Posted October 16, 2018 I admire your determination to be here. A fresh start is always nice, but here's a few helpful tips, just so old mistakes aren't repeated: 1) Don't Spam Forum Posts This was instantly a red flag to us all and became very irritating very quickly. Think about what you post before you post it, think: - Is it necessary? - Is it a post that people would enjoy or could discuss about? - Am I better off just making a discord post about this? Always think about those three questions before posting a thread. Which leads onto my next suggestion... 2) Think Before You Say Something Sometimes, what people say can really cause a negative impact. If someone says something negative towards you, contact a higherup and tell them that you don't like what they're doing. THEY WILL ACT ON IT. If someone is being rude, it's always a better option to alert a higher member of staff. If you insist on saying something, make sure you think about whether it will further cause a negative reaction or not. The main thing trolls want from you is a reaction. Always remember that. 3) Doing Controversial Actions Doing controversial actions may lead to huge backlash. One of which is when you left with a storm to become admin on a different server, then come back a week later and expect us all to open with welcome arms. Stuff like this is what will give you a bad name in the community and sometimes they can be extremely difficult to escape. But lest we forget that there have been people who have made it very far here despite being previously permenantly banned. TL;DR: Welcome back, nice to see a fresh start, helpful advice is to think before you act because actions can result in serious backlash. 3 1 2 2 1 Spirit, Topaz, DepressedNeonNepp and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TL;DR: Welcome back, nice to see a fresh start, helpful advice is to think before you act because actions can result in serious backlash. This. All of this. Honestly while it was an annoyance there have been people banned for much worse and have returned. Just make sure that if you plan on sticking around, do not get upset if it takes people a little while to get over your outburst. Personally I do not mind you coming back, especially if you really are trying to better yourself. All I ask is that you please learn from the mistakes you made and try not to repeat them. Anyway, hopefully you can enjoy yourself on the servers and forum again. Welcome back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DepressedNeonNepp 154 Posted October 17, 2018 I have learned from most my mistakes @Topaz however tekage reminded me about the things I hadn't and I'll work my best to get over the past and not do what I did on the past. Thank you 1 Red reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Precious 80 Posted October 18, 2018 I believe everyone has the potential to change and improve. However, saying that you'll change is easier to do than actually changing. I think Tekage hit the nail right on the head, follow what he said and I think you'll become a much better member of our community. I know you can do it! 1 DepressedNeonNepp reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
