I threw my xbox out the window when I read this my b

probably not gonna happen since "we're not a competitive server"

the fuck is your problem lmao

Let me start off by saying that I am by no means trying to start drama or attack anyone by making this. I am simply making this to discuss something that has been bugging me for a while now. Buckle up boys, this is gonna be a long one.
Now, with that out of the way, I'll get on with what I was going to say. In recent weeks on both the servers and forums, I've seen people making some hasty decisions in the moment out of pure anger, sorrow, or loneliness that they later on regret, and it lands them in hot water. And I'm not innocent of this. In the past, I've said and done terrible things to people I care about because I am driven in the moment by blind rage. It's how I nearly lost my friend Skelly, how I got demoted to Moderator, and how I almost got completely demoted down to Non-Member altogether. I admit that perhaps one of my greatest flaws is that I sometimes let my emotions cloud my judgement, and only realize the fault of my actions when the damage is already done. Not a day goes by when I wish I didn't take my anger out on Skelly. Not only can I never be trusted the same way again by the other staff and higherups, but I also nearly destroyed my friendship with a guy who didn't deserve what I said to him.
But could've would've should've, the past is the past and nothing can change that. All you can do now is try to improve, so that your future may be brighter. When I first got demoted, I was once again almost driven by emotion, this time sorrow, to leave xG and never come back. But I slept on it, and gave myself some time to clear my mind before making a decision. I didn't end up leaving (obviously, or I wouldn't be here writing this), instead, I did my best to make things right, both with the higher ups and my friends. Now look where I am! I'm right back where I was, and I've learned lots of great things to help me improve.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I understand that in the moment, it's easy to let your emotions control you. Something might make you angry and you might take it out on others in xG. You might feel depressed or lonely, and feel like no one here on xG cares for you, so you leave. But believe me when I say you don't want to do that. Clear your mind, go for a walk, take a nap, get some food, listen to music, or do whatever you must to soothe yourself. It's easy to let your emotions get ahold of you, but it's difficult to come back to xG and get membership after you stomp out in blind rage. In my opinion, xG is one of the friendliest communities I've ever been a part of, and I've made so many good friends and had so much fun. Don't let your emotions ruin what you have here. If you feel lonely, I promise there is someone, somewhere on our servers that cares about you and will miss you if you go. Heck, I miss everyone who goes, even if I didn't particularly know/like them. I like to believe we have something here for everyone, and it sucks when someone leaves because they feel left out or unappreciated. 
Hehe, look at me, trying to sound all deep and smart and stuff. But I mean it, don't let your emotions control what you do. Every mistake can be fixed, every bond can be mended, and every wrong can be set right. Don't let one tiny setback drive you to destroy everything you have here on xG, or in your life, for that matter. Because no matter what you believe, we care about you, and will miss you if you go. If no one else will, then I will. That's a promise.?

I don't see why it's not
Also, this is completely inappropriate. If you feel this is true provide evidence and make a ban request. We are a community that welcomes new players and accepts them into the clan if they fufill certain requirements. Absolutely DO NOT say that he has no place here without a valid proof and reason

THIS GOES TO EVERYBODY
Just BECAUSE you do not like him or he isn't a good warden/guard doesn't mean you can bully and say things we don't care to know ON HIS MEMBER APP, people tend to forget that this is a MEMBER app not a damned General post, We need to know -1 or +1, yes that includes a reason, but for people to say "has no place being a member on this server" is ABSURD. Mouse is a young guy and he will mature over time, DON'T -1 him because of his age or his freaking guard skills or just because you don't like him, -1 over his basic knowledge of jb and overall status on the server. I don't know what is wrong with some of the people who posted on this app, but that shit needs to stop. Anybody is welcomed to our server, so treat him like that, treat him like a person instead of a damn animal. 

Still, none of you care at all. 

saw the title and thought it was another neonnep thread about taking a break from xg and shit

Yes

He never asked, i just decided to not delete it and send the wrong message, I def do not find it funny

@VinylScratch 

Dude, come on. Jokes are great, especially if when your joke is aimed towards someone and they take it well. For example, I could say something to mock @Kypari and we'd just laugh it off. However, you obviously knew that she wasn't going to find it funny and posts like this are just mean, really. It takes a lot of confidence for some people to show themselves online and whilst I'm not sure this is the case for @VinylScratch, straight up mean jokes should just not be said. If they are said with the intention of a light-hearted joke, but it is taken the wrong way, perhaps an apology is needed.
 
I shouldn't have to and I don't want to have to lecture you on this kind of shit, dude. You're better than this.

Okay, @MJP, let me try this again and address everything you said.

He did not have a right to be pissed, he messed up and had to deal with the consequences of that. I am pretty much repeating myself at this point so I will not go into more detail. See previous post.
I do not understand the point you are trying to make with this sentence. From what I am gathering you are essentially saying that if you had been called out for doing something stupid your reaction "would not have been good for anyone"? I will assume that was just poor word choice and ignore it.

 
Right. The whole "Get a life" retort. Original. Just to clear something up, there were very few people who took a 'shit' on him for his behavior, even then I would simply call those responses unproductive at worst. Unless you call pointing out and asking for the behavior to stop 'taking a shit on them'. Very few people were outright ugly to him until he started acting like a brat. I do not condone it, but seriously. Also, spamming forums is not just 'whatever', it is a rule, and it is there so people do not create topics and posts that have no substance to them just to obtain a position of power. It exists for a good reason, as it is a good indication of the patience and maturity of the offender if they break it.
Here is the biggest problem I have. While from your perspective it may appear as if we were dog piling, in reality it looks that way because the people that all posted something similar agreed with one another. Even then, most posts had some original take, and suggestions on how he could have improved. It is possible to provide constructive criticism you know?

Just to close out here, I want to state for the record that I do not hate @DepressedNeonNepp. He is just a kid who has problems with making rash and short-sighted decisions. I think most of us fall under that statement. However, what I do hate is defending and/or giving that behavior a pass. That goes hand in hand with shooting down criticism because it does not seem nice.

That is all, I am done with this, it was a messy affair from start to finish. Frankly I do not think this is the best avenue to continue such a discussion, partly because it is a rather ironic topic, but more importantly I have said all I feel needs to be said. If for some reason you still have more you want to say, I am in discord and you can PM me to your heart's content.

The issue we had was that he did not learn from his mistake, like at all. He quite literally repeated the same thing when reapplying for member. Let me put it like this:

1. Applies for something (member in this case)
2. Makes a mistake (in this case it was reapplying too early after his childish forum tantrum.)
3. Get's upset and believes himself to be the victim.
4. Get's called out for what he did wrong, almost all the time in a pretty respectable and productive manner.
5. Throws another fit because he can not get what he wants.
6. Leaves in a ridiculous manner.
 
Now I realize two times does not exactly establish a trend, but it was like watching the remake of a shitty movie. I don't mind you making the argument that some people were rude and their input was not exactly productive, but that does not seem to be the point you are making. So let me emphasize this.

He brought all of this onto himself and learned nothing from it.
That is my take on this, and frankly I hope this is the end to this sad, salty story.

I mean no you guys really didn’t do shit except barrage the kid for feeling like shit in a community.
@DepressedNeonNepp learn from the fact that it’s just a server you play on, no point in getting upset about people who care too much or think there is a “level of maturity in a community” . The maturity you show now will gradually improve or it won’t but either way it doesn’t matter
