Comments on Profile Post by Danieldan4

Of course we can, Daniel.

I personally felt that my post was not yet finished too, but I couldn't put my finger on it either. Still can't.
My mind is often a mess, many irrelevant thoughts seeping through those that matter. So I'm happy with the post I made, al together.

Oh, I know that feel, I so much know it...

It's rather unhelpful at many times, but it does have it's advantages. Doesn't it?

Yes... so, how's your foruming experience? Nice?

Hmmmm. Could use some improving here and there.
But that's not up to me, is it? ;)

No, I mean, do you find the forums a nice place?

I know. And my answer is the same.
I'm liking it, but there's plenty of room for improvement.
But that is largely dependent on the content and behaviour of others.

Yes. The forums themselves (all the xenforo things) are just awesome, Tama did a great job, and I don't really think there are so many junk threads. And there's plenty of space for those who want to become someone well-known, as you.

Oh, but it's not fame I'm looking for!. I don't intend to become 'well-known'. I just want to make some friends, respond to or make some good content.
Just blend in the community. Standing out while doing so, I don't mind. But I'm not special.

Or am I? >: )

I wanted to make my WC experience better, and instead, I got assimilated... I just wanted to make my money farming guide and then I couldn't leave anymore. That's a horrible addiction.

You actually are special, nobody cares about the forum guys more than you, your threads are (almost) always threads with good content and with a message.

I don't care much for money, in-game. It's useful to have it, but I usually just give items away. That might explain why I have terrible armor and a Bob's Mythical Shears with terrible enchants.

I wouldn't say that I care about them the most, there are bound to be others. And I'm annoyed with plenty of things.
There's a lot I'd like to improve upon if given the chance.
But for now, I'll stick to having civilized discussions, suggestions and making points. :D

Being a part of the community in this server is important, and I think everyone finds his own way of doing it.

It is. Especially if we can help others on their journey, too.
It seems that for now, I've failed at doing that. In regards to the shoutbox unban appeals.
But that's being very specific. We have to look at the greater good, the community and forum in a whole.
And I think, given enough chance, we can all be very happy and satisfied. Those who like good content, those who like jokes. All of us.

The shoutbo is just a little part of the forums, I have to tell you that on the old forums we didn't have it, so I learned how to live without it. Still, I don't like how moderators can do stuff without being muted on the shoutbox and other people can't.

I'm not a snitch.
Most of the jokes are ones I'd make myself. So I won't complain about them. And if I feel I should, I'll head straight to the source. The moderator themselves.

You'd have to behave pretty extremely for me to tell on you.

May I ask what it is that got you shoutbox banned?

Yes, I can tell you. I'm that guy that was accused of joking about pedophylia. It may sound weird, but that's the true, I'm that guy.

I was on the shoutbox, as usual, and a few minutes ago I finished watching a video about the creepypasta of Slenderman. I was really scared of how people thought of him as a "pedophile", about the fact that he stole kids and killed them. I was already known as "The king of the spiders".

Then, one thread was posted. A guy showing us the cave in Half Moon Island where spiders spawn. Someone told me "Dan those are your cousins". So I said "No, these are the kids I abuse of. Instead of killing them I hide them in there". Then J6 said something, I don't remember what, and I couldn't write anymore. Now, I hate using the word "abuse", doesn't matter where. I just hate it.

I get the feeling there's more to that story?

There's no more story, apart maybe a thing. I wrote a complain to J6, and this is the text:

You know, my life without the shoutbox is like a pizza without cheese.
What I'm nicely asking is to give me the cheese back, please.
If you think what I wrote in the shoutbox was too rude, you can keep me banned, but you must know a kid somewhere in the world (Italy exactly, the country of pizza) is eating a pizza without cheese.

Well, I definitely agree that something had to be said about your remark. My ex girlfriend is a victim of sexual abuse, with that comes physical and mental abuse, usually.
And it's not a joking matter, at all. Not even if you yourself are of the same age.

But a ban is a bit harsh and.. well.. permanent.

I know how rape can be horrible, and trust me, I was never thinking of those things. If I say that, you can be sure. I was just following what some moderators used to write on the shoutbox. But... "To Follow by faith alone is to follow blindly." - Benjamin Franklin

Always be yourself. Not re-enact the actions of others.
It is a shame to pretend in order to be liked more, while the 'true' 'you' is often much more interesting.

Yes, I learnt that with time.

I wanted to ask you a thing. Why did you buy VIP ranks to random people?

Because I got my VIP from a guy who did the same thing (without asking me) and I wanted to know what the reason is

I only did so for Francis.
And while I did that, I never thought of the consequences concerning leaderboards etc.
It was an issue I never imagined to be brought up. Since I assumed becoming a VIP only had plus sides.

I still find it rather silly, but also very understandable.

When I bought it for him, it was done on impulse. Without really thinking about it. I had read that he wasn't allowed to buy it, so I did it for him.

I think giving away VIP is nice, and there's no problem about it. People should only be thankful if they get one for free.

For me it was so weird, I was chatting with someone and suddenly my name was green...

"Surprise" xD

But still, whi giving money to somebody you don't even know irl?

why*

Because it can make someone's day, maybe even week.
And then you're not really wasting money, are you?

Yep.

No because I wanted to ask if that could be repeated another time...

To donate for a stranger?

Yes

I considered Francis a friend. Not really a stranger.
I'm not really some santa clause just giving presents to strangers. If I do so, there's usually a feeling involved. A motivation.

Who did you have in mind?

It was my cousin. When I got my VIP from a random guy, he was near me. I still feel guilty that I got the VIP and not him, he deserved it more. He's that guy who wrote a message on your profile 2 hours ago, Lagosta, but his ign is ift100

So I'm supposed to spend 25 bucks on a stranger because they feel jealous? Or because you feel guilty about someone giving you something, because they were friends of yours?

Sorry, but, no. I don't really feel like that. It seems like a silly reason.

That's ok, it's just that he was really angry on me for 3 months, he kept telling me to ask Flare to buy him VIP... he would try anything, anything...

I told him that I was not going to ask other people about buying it for him, but he told me to try it for one more time...

Then he sounds a bit like a bitch.

I do understand you perfectly, I wouldn't give my money to a stranger.

Oh, but I would.
Just not to a jealous beggar.

Let's forget this and continue with our normal lives, he will find the way to get VIP.
