Phantom Roxas Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I know the issues I've had on here, but I feel like last year in particular was when things got really worse. There were things that were always there, stemming far longer back than I can really remember, but they didn't really escalate or hit a breaking point until last year. The best advice I've heard is to that I should try to just walk away from some of these things, but I don't want to do that. I've also heard that I really like getting into fights, and I know that's true. I'd try to explain myself, but I think at this point it's just offering excuses. I don't want to walk away from here, but I also feel like… well, this is probably a poor way to put it, but my reputation and image has been destroyed and I'm not sure how to fix it. Make of that what you will. I don't want this to be begging for forgiveness. I think it's best to approach this without having any set end goal in mind. I just want this to be a place where I can talk with people. Hash out our issues, and let those conversations unfold naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei the Morning Star Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Your reputation is what you make of it. I'd hardly say I have a good rep on this site, but I still find some level of happiness by being here. Make of it what you wish and move on. There will always be those who hate you. Try to change them, but do not shackle yourself to their approval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to change them, but do not shackle yourself to their approvalTo be that guy, your reputation isn't what you make of it. Reputation is how everyone in a community views you, regardless of how you view yourself, and you usually have no control over what the sound of your name brings up. Making it to be an item of control, that you have control over, is in all aspects a joke. You can only control how it affects you, not what your name comes with, when dealing with the accounts of others. Also, you just repeated what he said that he can't do; He can't move on, and he doesn't want to. The stigma between identity and how people wish to carry themselves usually reflects on the part of a community, and how much their activity is regardless of how much they change. People say that time heals all wounds, it does. When wanting to change something or reinvent something, the best thing to do is to take some time away where people can forget about the initial thought of what a reputation comes to mean, and then come back when the image isn't so fresh in everyone's mind. Take some time for yourself, in your own way, that is away from either this site or whatever else gives you troubles. Come back to it later, but create distance from places that ignite a sense of thought for what your identity is and how it is perceived. People will forget about it, move on, and then you can come back as someone new or re-establish yourself in some way. The activity of a person is usually directly apart of how important their reputation and stigma of identity are, as it is convenient to have that person in mind. Once it is no longer convenient, the person becomes an object of the past and can build off of forgotten thoughts. Work on yourself, to figure things out, and come back when things feel figured out. Space and time away usually help to figure these things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make of that what you will.Is it really, though? You're still very liked, a very smart member(in my opinion), you even saw that status update chain where you were upset with yourself and half the active members said they appreciated you. I really think that you're just thinking that getting into fights is sullying your image when it's really not, and I think it just solidifies you as someone who stands for what they believe, and is making you look like a smart or good person.

Try to change them, but do not shackle yourself to their approval You're right. I agree with you, but an issue I tend to have is that if five people like me, but one person hates me, that one person who hates me is going to influence me more. Sometimes I think the best thing I can do is just outlast them. Wait for them to disappear from my life, and then that's it. In the meantime, though, I want to do what I can so I can improve myself in their eyes, because I don't want to assume that anyone will just be one of those people who will always hate me. If they have concerns about me, I want to listen to them. But if they're just filled with nothing but anger and spite, then I don't need to consider them.

Another issue is that some people tend to reach the same conclusions about me, so while you're right that taking some time away can help people forget, I spend time with some people who think the same things about me. So I wonder how much that reflects on the different communities, and how much that reflects on me. Otherwise, it could be very unusual to see an overlap in how a community perceives me. For the most part, I agree with you, so I apologize if any of that sounds dismissive.

Yet what I do is find a group of friends that appreciate me, and I focus on them. My rep is bad, but I make the most of it and use it to my advantage. There is always a silver lining You still don't control your reputation, it is still based on others. You just validated my point: "You can only control how it affects you." You just hang without people who have a different outlook of what your reputation is, who listen to a different understanding of your reputation. Don't try to control it, only control what it means to you. Yes, I am arguing about this and it is probably a mute point, but if you put so much importance on your reputation, you're going to succumb to an identity of how you're perceived and not one about how you enjoy yourself, how you view yourself. You're right. I agree with you, but an issue I tend to have is that if five people like me, but one person hates me, that one person who hates me is going to influence me more.

Sleepy Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Don't worry so much about reputation. I mean, I know you can't help it, but try to tell yourself that you'll be fine.I remember you were a good mod back in the days when I was less than 5 stars. You've always come off as one of the more mature ones. You even held your position for so long. Yeah you had some fights in recent years but they aren't exactly the greatest parts of your time here. Not even close. I only really know of your arguments with Winter and kinda heard about some with, Black? I mean, who hasn't argued with Black at some point in their lives? (*Nervously chuckles*). As for Winter, he's here trying to cheer you up. Your image is not nearly as tainted as you think. We all get hiccups and you won't be eternally condemned for whatever arguments you overdid in the past. I know I've done things here I wish I hadn't. ..... I ignore the specifics of anything else that might be worrying you.... sorry.*cough* But be positive. Good experiences make for good memories, and bad experiences make for good lessons (this I saw a while ago as a quote from Avatar, I believe uncle Iroh xD ). I hope you get to feel better about things, so you are not the one person that down the line keeps events you might not be proud of alive when others let it to rest.and sorry if this post is more messy and all over the place than the above posts.

Thanks. I'd love to get myself back to the way I was years ago. I felt comfortable back then, and I'd like to get back into whatever mindset I had back then. It's a little hard to describe, but I guess the best thing to say is that, like you said, just tell myself I'm fine. So I guess it's more that I know when I was happy, and I can be like again. Yeah, everything Black put me through was honestly far more painful and devastating than any of my arguments with Winter. Don't worry, I don't think you've been ignoring any specifics. This thread really was hastily thrown together, so it's not like I was getting into that many specifics. You make a good point about not keeping certain events alive when others have it let. I know it's certainly hurt me when it's been the other way around, and people have brought those things back up against me.

Phantom Roxas Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Bumping this thread up because I feel like this is the best place to post something I need to say. You can say I'm self-serving all you want, but you have never presented a case for it. Not when we got demoted, not before, and not now. That is slander. Sorry, mods. Got tired of sitting back and having to take it. Warn me if you need to.The complete hypocrisy in those two statements really gets under my skin. I had to sit back and take everything people threw at me. Black demanded that I did so, and threatened me with ultimatums if I wouldn't sit back. I couldn't present my case, because I was legitimately afraid of Black. If I tried I push through my fear, then Black held it over me and demanded that the team kick me out. And he claims that I'm not presenting a case in a post that is directly responding to me presenting that very case. It's pointless. It doesn't matter what I say. It doesn't matter how much I beg or plead for someone, anyone to hear me out. Black will just dismiss it and tell me right to my face that what I'm saying doesn't matter one damn bit. And then he'll play the victim. It's exactly how we both got demoted. He posted an aggressive status updated that he admitted he wanted me to see. I made the mistake of standing up for myself, but again, this goes back to how Black demands that I have to sit back and take EVERYTHING. He pushed me down, and I pushed back. I stood up for myself. And what does he do? Complain to Evilfusion about it. About how he went on the offensive, and I pushed back. I have to sit back and take it but Black can be completely justified in his behavior if he doesn't want to sit back and take it. And if I push back, it "proves" that I'm as risky as Black warned. But if Black pushes back? Oh, he's just standing up for the little guy. Black hasn't needed to sit back. He's been able to walk away from this like he's innocent. Meanwhile, I've been in therapy trying to figure out why I still bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, I've been in therapy trying to figure out why I still bother. Black is not the one who's been hypocritical. You were a poor moderator. You did not handle situations in positive ways. You did not interact well with the community in high stress situations. You NEVER sat back and took what people had to say about you. There were constantly arguments, that you were involved in, that got very heated and back and forth over it. Did they go to far sometimes, yeah, sure. But you were absolutely not an innocent party in anything. You constantly made passive aggressive jabs at him. Constantly. I saw them. I heard about them. I did my absolutely best to stay neutral, cause Josh wasn't innocent. He made his mistakes, he's openly admitted to those mistakes multiple times over now. He hasn't dragged out this sheet because it makes him look good to paint someone else as a villain, no matter what you think about it, he hasn't tried to do that. And you know what, the brief time I was a moderator, I couldn't stand working around you. I tried to post facts about situations during the drafts of the Transparency Threads, and you got instantly enraged over it. It wasn't even anything about you personally, it was literally facts, but you took it as a major slight to yourself. I know for a fact I would funking love to be in counseling with my issues. But there aren't any good counselors here in hick town. Josh can't afford it, he has things he would love to talk to professionals about! But no, Roxas is clearly the only person who has these issues, so no one else is allowed to feel bad. Other people can't make mistakes if they involve you. Josh hasn't walked away like he was innocent. Josh took a load of sheet from people over being too strict, over doing too much to his section. It wasn't until hindsight kicked in and people realized that the changes helped. You act like you weren't just as big a force in the whole thing, but you were constantly making passive aggressive jabs too, Roxas. You were hardly innocent.

I didn't like how any of that sheet went down and I still don't. But you know better than this. This ain't healthy for nobody. Don't do this again. You know what you need to do. And if it means blocking like eight people, so be it. But this ain't cool. You and Black--neither of you played this right in my opinion. But you both keep bringing it up and its tiring. So I'm gonna ask both of you to drop this sheet. You can't do anything about it anymore. Let it go like Elsa, Move Along like the All American Rejects, and Beat It like Michael Jackson.

I made the mistake of standing up for myself, but again, this goes back to how Black demands that I have to sit back and take EVERYTHING. He pushed me down, and I pushed back. I stood up for myself. And what does he do? Complain to Evilfusion about it. About how he went on the offensive, and I pushed back. I have to sit back and take it but Black can be completely justified in his behavior if he doesn't want to sit back and take it. And if I push back, it "proves" that I'm as risky as Black warned. But if Black pushes back? Oh, he's just standing up for the little guy. Black hasn't needed to sit back. He's been able to walk away from this like he's innocent. Meanwhile, I've been in therapy trying to figure out why I still bother. Erm...what? No one "complained" to me about that status fight. I saw it myself and got super pissed off because of how childish the whole thing was. I called you BOTH out simultaneously, but also got the vibe that it was a kamikaze effort, so I demoted both of you to Junior Mod on the spot (to remove ACP access) and demanded an explanation, outright saying I was "this close" to just demoting both of you and being done with it. And when I got the explanation, I said it was a terrible explanation, and that I was really sick of how both of you had been conducting yourselves. Considering the motion to weed out the moderators who were "unfit" to be mods was ongoing, I made the call to dismiss you, and that since Black was retiring anyway, his resignation was going to be "accepted", rather than leaving the option for him to reconsider, as we often do for mods who want to step down, but haven't been formally demoted yet.

Phantom Roxas Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Sorry, I honestly keep forgetting that you saw it yourself. Not sure why I remember it differently. It did seem like a kamikaze effort, and I understand why you thought the explanations were terrible. I don't fault you for demoting either of us, so I think you made the right call then.

Sleepy Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Seems like things are turning out well over here. I mean, yeah, Black's had its share of issues over the years. At some point I remember him publicly apologizing for his behavior. Though I really think he's made progress ever since. He seems much more calm and collected, and less stressed.Roxas, I still don't recall you being all that bad back in the day (I mean, what do I know, for the amount of attention I usually put on these stressful chapters, but still).I, don't think the best thing to do in the past few days was to go try to confront Black at this thread, the mod thread, or anywhere else. Hopefully you can sort yourself out and both get to move on from your incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
