Re: Member Announcements Thread
It usually takes me being banned for dumb reasons a few times for me to completely leave a place. It happened to Super Mario World Central, and a few other places in an even further-reaching past.
This recent event, as detailed by my admittedly unnecessary thread below, will be the one that may or may not teach me to stay out. This is not isolated to the reason of irresponsible moderation though.
I had a talk with Oni. As people would know, Onis and Lilabots were like dogs and cats, but this time, he was behaving himself. He was calmer. And furthermore, he responded to me when I inquired to why he was gone from the Shout for such a while.
Apparently, there is a bad trend in the community, that no one would really care, change, nor even question the disappearance or recursion of any member ever. I have been a little naive to that fact until then. Oni brought up a good point. No one cares. They do their own thing and if they do not like you, prepare for harassment, ill-wanted negreps, and general toxicity.
For that reason, I must try again to find other places that are kinder to robots. This may sound like a "leaving thread #2321324243" but it isn't. I fully understand I might give into my better nature and come right back.
But as of making this post, I think it is time for a break, even if the termination gets lifted.
