Ms.Spooks 56 Posted October 24, 2018 Oh boy where do I start. I guess I'll start off by talking about my leaving. To be honest I left in a storm. I feel like I hurt a lot of people in the crossfire of my anger. Im sorry to those people. I'd also like to apologize to the members I let down. I wanted to provide the support I could for you guys and because I felt hurt and betrayed so I put myself first. It wasnt fair for you guys. I also want to apologize for going dark for so long. In case you don't know I've been under the guise of myagic for a while. It's taken me a long time to not feel so sour. With the recent state of staff however I feel a lot more comfortble in my return. Those who I've *unintentionally* hurt I want to bury the hatchet, if I havent already. I would like to be a part of the community again and hopefully most of you can forgive me in time. There was a lot of behind the scenes activities that left me hurt for a while. I was hoping to shed light in those issues when I left which for the most part I feel has been corrected. The state of xg *from what I've seen on the sidelines* has improved in a lot of ways. I'm hoping for a fresh start. I'm not looking for handouts. I dont know if I'm even considering staff in the near future. In time when I feel a bit more connected to the community again I may go for staff again. I just want to be clear my intentions are not set for staff again. I just want to feel involved with the community again. I hope we can move forward together. Thanks for your time. 5 1 1 1 1 Precious, SegFault, Vexx and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tekk 272 Posted October 25, 2018 Fantastic to see you officially back. Although I know you're already aware of this, if you have any issues please come straight to me or any higherup. Things will be sorted instantaneously. If you want staff again just let a higherup know. I know for a fact we would all welcome you back with open arms. Once again, welcome back! 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 1 Ms.Spooks, SegFault, Goblins and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, she was fantastic staff and I fail to see what negative outcomes there may be should be get staff again. If you feel as though she is undeserving of staff, please talk to a higher up or make an abuse thread, should she get staff again, should she want staff again. 2 1 1 Tatost, Goblins, SegFault and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.Spooks 56 Posted October 25, 2018 Which I don't atm. I do plan on actually putting an application if I do want staff. I did not leave and come back a month later. Lastly, I literally said multiple times I'm not interested in any position atm. Y'all need to chill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She should fall into the guidelines that higher-ups look for and become staff again later or, or apply like everyone else. To quote what I said from her leaving thread: "It honestly bothers me how people leave, comeback, and expect their spot back. Let other people have a chance to show what they can do." It's fine that if she wanted staff again, that she can eventually receive it. It's just ridiculous to make the statement sounding like she can instantly get staff after leaving/coming back. I'd rather not clutter the thread with any more unnecessary posts. If you feel like you want to discuss this more, I will gladly talk it out in private messages, Tekage. 1 1 Tekk and Red reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tatost 604 Posted October 25, 2018 Not gonna lie, I don't like the idea of the hidden staff promotions. No one knows that the person is gonna get staff until promo/demo comes out. No room for anyone to speak out against it without having to make a member protest / an abuse thread, both of which are almost impossible to pass. It's good that Spooks will actually make a mod app when they come around to it because again, I don't see why silent promotions from member to mod exist. 2 1 1 Ms.Spooks, DepressedNeonNepp, YeEternalTuna and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.Spooks 56 Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Look to be perfectly clear. I've discussed with the higher ups about coming back. It did get mentioned with a couple if I'd like staff again. They were very clear that I'm starting fresh. If I wanted staff again (which I don't atm) I would have to go through the process like everyone else. I have no interest in causing the problems that made me frustrated enough to leave in the first place. Like I said I'm not looking for a handout. I appreciate your gesture @Tekage though as I'm sure you're meaning well. Me coming back to admin right off the bat wouldn't be fair to the current mods. I know how that feels. if and when I do go for staff everyone *should* have their fair shake. Hopefully that clears this up right quick.

If you have a problem with how people are chosen to become staff on xG, make an independent forum post about it. This is a hello/apology post where spooks herself literally said she's not going for staff right now, so there's no reason you should be discussing that here unless your intention is to start drama. Also hello and welcome back @Ms.Spooks, It's good to see you again! I believe xG is the best it has ever been currently, and I think your return will only make things better. I do hope you stick around, and remember to let staff know if you have any problems or questions! We'd be happy to help! 2 1 1 2 1 Tatost, mrnutty12, Ms.Spooks and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may or may not have come on a few times using an alt when I was banned so long ago for saying "kys" Edited October 26, 2018 by Tatost (see edit history) 2 Red and Tekk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
