Jesus fucking christ.

I love this thread.

You see, if you ever saw the old Nappa blogs before I removed them, I said multiple times that I love hearing criticisms. I want to hear what people think, both the good, and the bad.

My main issue with them was that they he went about doing so in a manner that was insulting and name-calling in nature, and detracted from his points with insults and slander.

This thread, and the posts in it? They're civil. They're devoid of that. They're exactly what I wanted to see from the first two attempts. And I love it.

Sure there's a few points I could disagree with. The color name thing I chose to adopt, specifically being about characters who are named after a proper noun of a thing that is based on color (Brand Names) being too far fetched from the color naming policy. For example, a specific brand of wine, or naming a character McDonald because they're red and yellow. I even, privately, talked about it with other Admins, whom agreed that it was justified enough in the specific instances I brought it up. The reason it's not in the rules? It's one of those border things. It's one of those things that infact DOES have to be looked at case-by-case, and ends up being the Reviewers discretion.

People are right in here, about my perceived disrespect. I'm polite when I don't have my buttons pushed, but so is anybody.

Nobody has 365 good days a year. You can't really hold a handful of venting instances against a person. It blows over. Things get better. Imagine if the world held it against you if you just had a single bad day? Would that make you future days any better? Probably not. But I digress.

As for the notion that I wouldn't continue to work for a Community that just sat up and cried impeachment, actually yes. Yes I would. Should after this all blows over, I retain my Staff position even slightly, I will still strive to use the position to help. Preferably more than I hinder.

As I do not disagree with the majority of these statements. I'm abrasive. I'm rude. I get upset and I take it out on the things that piss me off. They're negative qualities. They're something one should not have, or at the very least bottle up. But while nobody is infallible, everybody has the capasity to grow and change.

Seeing these? This shows that the Community does infact, have a line they'll collectively draw. A line they'll come together and stand behind and say "Dude, seriously. We have more of your shit than a farm has manure. Stahp."

Though, one thing I will say for a definate fact. Towards the claims of power abuse. If I see things that infract upon the Fanon guidelines, I warn, then I deal out a punishment. Banning a user for insulting me isn't because I don't like them because they insulted me. It's because insulting people in that manner, after being warned to stop, is an infraction of the rules, and a reason unto itself to remove them. The same goes for making blog posts that contain direct insults. Regardless of their nature or purpose, they're rude, and disregard Fanon rules. I deal a warning, and if it happens again, I deal a punishment. That's all there really is to say about it.
