Well particularly I wasn't going to ban her then. Yes, I got a bit angry over being upset over that I am not a perfect person. Okay I didn't really mean to say that statement above, I just reacted in an untimely manner though. She wasn't really being nice to begin with as well. I know there are posts at RoW like that sometimes, so I am certainly not a first. As an admin I was supposed to keep my cool, but at personal standpoint though I lost my cool. This resulted in a conclusion of a day of horrible events. A mistake on my part is to do this sometimes and it obviously was a downfall of my respect on the Internet now I suppose. I don't get paid for RoW Admining; I do this on my free time of course. I'm not a professional, I am a lowly 11th grade student with no job what so ever. I tried my best though, but if you guys don't think that that is okay with me. You have a right to that opinion of me. Yet all I really wanted was a nice, peaceful site, a great haven from Nsider. I guess this dream is too far away for me at the time, but I will never give that dream up. I felt at the time of this event everyone was upset over that picture incident which was really stupid. I sort of knew perhaps you would all quit and turn away and I feared taking any action as you all were my friends... This is probably where being an admin and being a friend crossfire. It hurts, I cried... especially hearing what squall said about me on those forums... It saddens me to see that a long-lived friendship can be ruined over something like a picture... No and I am not trying to make the forums feel bad for me from this statement above. I am pretty much stating how I felt at this incident at a standpoint. I am in a pretty crappy mood today since I didn't plan to engulf this place with my worse nightmares. All I really wanted to do today was get some sleep to tell you the truth. I did not want to ban squall and silver, and I did not want people to leave. All I simply wanted was ONE picture removed. I didn't say you were perverts or anything. I know for a fact there are varied ages at RoW from about 13-In the 20s. Do parents want their children to be looking at a somewhat suggestive picture such as that? Personally if I was a parent I wouldn't, and I know my parents even though I am sixteen would probably freak out. And as Mil says, "It might depend on the person looking at it!" Personally there are different viewpoints to almost everything nowadays. You may think it wasn't that way, but others may think so in contrast to your beliefs on this matter. ..Please just drop it... I am sick and tired of wasting my time on something that won't improve anything from what I can see. Every moment I see another thread turn into something like this, I feel the situation is getting worse from my standpoint. I'm sure you will enjoy your new forum, and it will turn out good over there. I'm sure you will be missed here too as apart of the RoW family. Just talking about this over and over again is rather pointless. RoW isn't going anywhere at all. I am not giving up over mere picture incident. And there isn't any point in discussing it anymore since you all made up your minds obviously. Have a nice night, and if anything doesn’t sound right sorry since at the time I am half asleep at 1:06 A.M. EST. |

Yeah, Ed, Lily, DP, and I had NOTHING to do with the Squall and Silver bannings whatsoever. See, it's hard to run a forum. Especially when we have stuff going on like what happened yesterday. Some of you may think it's easy, but it's not. Now then, I guess there's a way we can ask Invisionfree if the picture that Squall posted was objectionable content. But only if anybody is willing to do it. We could show it to an Invisionfree admin on the support board, and see if THEY classify it as objjectionable. And as Mia said, friendship can get in the way of being an admin. I mean, during what happened between Squall and Sephiroth, I couldn't choose whether to ban him, because he just lost his temper, which everybody does at some point. See, I'm usually the admin who stays behind the scenes and watches, not the one likely to take action aside from technical problems. |

I already can't really breathe let alone speak.. so I suppose that is close enough. Eh my hair isn't going to fall out anytime soon ![]() Anyhow those are the struggles of being an admin on a forum full of friends. I struggled with this decision and asked around. It was hard. What would you want for your forum? Flames everywhere as a result of a picture incident? If you dislike me fine I'm 100% okay and you don't really have to rub RoW dying in my face like this.. because it is not truely dead. The forum was even good when it was just a few people which was how it was started pretty much. I'm sure when you get more members for your forum.. Waluigi will realize this struggle of being an admin and a friend at the same time. |
