^This guy is always on the elite's side.

Here's the scenario,
I let another community member get to me and I get a 7 day ban for profanity filter evasion. At the point of ban, I was stripped of my tittle and reduced down to "member" status. In that effect I felt like it was no longer a point in posting in the forums and being an active halo community member. No progression will ever be made, time in service no longer means a anything. I had been stripped of my dignity over an immature mistake and the ban to this day is glued to my profile and I see it every time I login.

I stopped reading the forums, stopped caring about was going on in the community because now, I look like any other guy that can't be trusted. Here and there I would login and check some of the forums just to see if there was anything interesting being talked about, but I literally found myself never responding.. never posting.. just watching. I'm no longer ashamed of my ban or moderation, I learned from it, now I watch from a third person perspective, but my involvement is limited.

I'll speak out, but only when necessary. I've seen the same conversations be brought up, predetermined there conclusions, and came to understand how the forums work and the perspective actual moderators have.

My point for saying all of this, is forgiveness.. not my tittle back. Just another chance to grow in the community. Yes a colored bar means nothing to some, but its meaning was given substance when it was programmed in to this site, if it meant nothing it wouldn't be here and no one would have a status. I won't mess up again, I hate to be punished for the same mistake twice and never have. I've gotten that off my shoulders, thank you for your time.

I've been banned 5 times, lol.

So I just started in the community, you saying I can't be trusted?

Edit: Alright, I just realized that's a dick move to say, lol. But seriously, you can still be part of the community. You just learn from your mistakes, and seeing as that you did, maybe you want to start up some topics? ;)

@Geegs30

The fact that your ban had an end date means that the moderation team has forgiven you. Don't sweat it, a ban's effect will go away after a while if you stay clean and play nice. Everyone's gotten banned once or twice.

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

Banning is an inevitable consequence of growing up in the forums.

I wouldn't trust you. You look pretty shady to me.

We all must admit it: being banned sucks.

I was not too long ago warned for bypassing the profanity filter, not to use the words at a manipulative advantage, but to actually discuss the profanity filter itself.

I just got my Mythic title, don't take this from me!

  • 09.01.2011 9:47 AM PDT

I've never seen anyone care so much about their title.
Really, just post if you want to, no one cares.

I hope not! Because then I'm a piece of dirt! Comparitively speaking that is.

No, it's the sense of the slap on the hand that is equal to damaging someone's dignity. For a person to understand why he was wrong and learn from it but has to advertise this act on his chest for all to see is an effect on dignity. Getting a tittle taken away will never amount to a man's entire lifes store of dignity, but only fluctuate it. Tittle and dignity are not equal, and i'm sorry if that's the way I stated it to be here.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I got off a recent 3 month ban, and had 3 others before it, and 4 Warnings. I'm not a very good listener.

Stosh <3's me vicariously... at least someone does...

I've been banned like 8 times. I like to think that Fabled=Failed.

Stop banning me please.

You feel way to strongly towards these forums.

I don't even understand what you need to do in the forums to get the different titles.... I haven't been an extremely active member of the community, but when I speak up - I definitely write books about things :)

Being banned is just a way of people governing smaller forms of society... Freedom of speech is not freedom at all..

We are all sheep....

baaaaaahhhhhhh

I have. This post was just my honest feelings from an event that happened months ago. I'm not the type of guy to stay butt-hurt over a personal conflict of learning and maturing.

You will return to your rank in a given time. Bans/warning do take some time to get over, but as long as you don't break the rules and be active you will eventually get your title back. Everything is going to be ok :)
