Why does everybody hate me?

[Artifact123]

I came here, just like all, because i liked Dan-Ball and once saw a link to this Forum. But... I don't want to stay anymore in a place where i'm hated. Seriously, how is it possible that everyone hates me and my Karma went from 10 to -1 just because i came up for my rights as a Member. I never trolled or flamed anyone before and when i make a little accident, everybody immediately starts to smite and hate me. I don't get why people that have done things that are far worse but e get forgiven again and again and again so they can keep on doing their stuff. Mostly the Mods do as if there's nothing going on. If i have to live in a community like this, then i'm out here. Nobody will care anyway. People won't see this Thread. If you read this, then i don't f*cking care. You can maybe PM me but i won't post till most things are fixed and somebody can tell me why suddenly EVERYONE hates me. If you read this, and you know it's your fault, then don't reply. Just don't reply. I honestly don't care.

The only Members that i really liked were Memzak and Dracorio.

Why ask a question if you're leaving? You'll never see the answer, which is, by the way, that you've become far worse than the trolls you are supposedly fighting. People aren't as willing to defend someone from trolling who is themselves a bigger troll.

[Artifact123]

Anyways, congratulations for losing another Member!

[nmagain]

Another?
You're probably the first member to rage quit like that in this forum!

[Qwerty]

Finally, we can chat in peace. A line from tvtropes (visit at your own risk, but it's a nice read) comes to mind, which has proven to be 100% completely true in this forum's past moreso than any other:

The Me Too Guy: On every forum, there is at least one user who feels they don't fit in with the community, and will constantly refer to this fact by referring to themselves in most of their posts, qualifying every post as an opinion, apologizing profusely for other posts or actions, and eventually attempting to start a "Why does everyone hate me" thread. It is usually the case that this person would fit in just fine if it weren't for all of their desperate attempts to fit in.

No, wait, that wasn't it. Ah, here it is.

CAD's Boomerang Law: If an active user creates a post announcing they are voluntarily leaving the community, they will almost certainly return. The length of the post is directly proportional to their likelihood of returning and inversely proportional to the time it will take for them to return. However, if an active user suddenly disappears without announcing themselves, and it was not because they were banned, the chances of them returning are much less, let alone the chances of them being remembered outside of the occasional "hey, what ever happened to MacGuffin?"

To this day, nobody ragequitting the forum has ever stayed away. Those leaving for personal reasons, yes, but nobody actually voluntarily leaving. Those that have left did so without comment. All of them.

Calm down, Artifact. I know how you feel, I was spam-smited, and we already know nmagane, sheep, and priok are trolls with nothing better to do, and trust me, I wish I could ip ban them, but Qwerty and Veers would get mad and ip ban me.

[kuraikiba]

First off, you BOTH were not spam-smited. You were victims of a group smite. Several people disapproved of your actions, and several separate decided to smite you. So, being a jerk shows the primary principle of karma to be true: "What goes around, comes around.". Artifact's hostile Anti-troll campaign certainly gained enemies, trolls and non-trolls alike. After his excessive flaming and whining, I'd lost all my respect for him. I smited him twice throughout his campaign, I'll admit. And Rock showed disgraceful behaviour, deleting 3 well thought out posts stating a simple dislike for his preferred computer brand, Apple. Me and Qwerty stated that we found it impractical to have something that is basically GIMP (User friendly) plus a few filters and such, especially considering it cost money, unlike GIMP. We stated that pretty much anything involving Macs needed some expensive add-on or gadget to make things work. But your deletion of opinions you didn't want up solely because they didn't support your opinions, albeit allowed, wasn't smiled upon. Doubtlessly, you didn't really care for what wasn't your opinion.

In both of your cases, you did things MOST members deem smite worthy. Without a check of logs, do not assume you are being conspired against. Trust me, it ended bad for me, ask Qwerty about my Memzak-Kuraikiba Exalt circle.

Look, you're not a bad guy! every time I see your karma down, i pull it back up a notch and as much As I can. I'm glad to have you here as a member and as a friend (Although you never show up on chat) But you're a good guy. You have good intentions in mind and I understand. You shouldn't leave because of some smites! (although they be unfair smites) I'll be here for a while. I'll also be waiting for older and newer members to come along. If you leave it won't be the same reallly... You have well thought out posts most of the time. So try not to leave, won't be the same.

Also, we should try HARDER TO NOT LOSE OLD MEMBERS!

[Qwerty]

Trying to not lose old members is one thing. It is not, however, as important as making the forum a good place for others. We're not forcing him out, he's doing that himself. He received some smites that are pretty well-deserved after reading some of his recent posts.

Besides, he's really not all that old, relatively speaking.

[Rock]

@ Kuraikiba-



And as to what you're referring to, It was in every way, shape and form, not smite-worthy. My board, my rules, Veers said so.

Artifact, and to any member ho happens to know who this user is, and reveals it- so help me God...

[kuraikiba]

Hm... that could be pretty few people, due to font size. GV often writes full names, and sheep is a very active troll recently, so it's likely him.

Know this, I don't care for Kiwi. I don't hate NM, since he at least spells right most of the time. Priok though, is actually the only troll who I've seen gain a liking to people. I just think of Priok as rather... meek. And possibly echolaelic.

[Qwerty]

Rock, smites are not controlled by rules, only the number. Smiting you for deleting our posts is a perfectly normal response, regardless of what you rules say. Although, of course, you rules said nothing about opposing Mac.

Sure, Veers said so, and so did I. But this thread isn't about a couple smites administered to you for unfairly deleting posts, allowed or not. This is about Artifact.

[RubiksMaster123]

Everyone hates you? O.o i never knew that... boosting karma...

[priok]

that user is me

hey, too bad some people are leaving, but i am sorry for all of the things that happened. so, i apologize to you friends

[Qwerty]

Tell me, RM, why do you consider this complaining and disrespect of everyone present exalt-worthy?

[noodlesoup]

Fight what you see as trolling by ignoring it... Or reporting it to a mod.

[nmagain]

Somebody is spam smiting me, and I know it's you, Artifact

[Fringe Pioneer]

Not all of the smites are from him, but a rather large majority are. He has been punished and your karma has been restored the appropriate amount...

[nmagain]

Thank you, Veers.

[sheep]

hey i am sorry for the things i did to you and your

please forgive me

[Phantom Zero]

I have a feeling sheep is smiting him even more, it was down to -7...

[Qwerty]

That is probably due to our punishment for smitespammers. Their own karma is reduced an equivalent amount.

[~Memzak~]

Or spam exalters for that matter. (thinks back)

Although to be honest I thought kurai was being spam smited, so I exalted him to try and counter act it.

Meh... That's long past now...

Oh and Arti... Thanks. :3

In my eyes you are cool as a cucumber. So when the trolls come knocking, just plug in your iphone ear-speaker-things.

[Qwerty]

Yeah, he might look that way, unless you look at the logs. Arti here did more spamsmiting than he had done to him, and if you look at his recent posts the majority of them are simply calling Nmagane scum. Cool as a cucumber he is not.

[sheep]

yes he is not a warm pickle

[Rock]

You realize you just DISagreed with Qwerty, right?

[Qwerty]

Actually, I think he just confused Qwerty... Warm pickle? Whe?

[nmagain]

[Phantom Zero]

Thats about right too, I agree with Artifact on this one... Hes become a troll now.

[Qwerty]

You mean Artifact, or Nmagane? That statement could go either way.
