I'm not deleting my account, but if someone does than whatever. Either way, I'm not coming back here for a while. I'm tired of the crap I get on here for no goddamn reason. I feel I contribute a lot to this board and did a damn good job as moderator sometime back, and I get nothing in return but hassle.
So about two weeks back I had 70+ karma. In the span of four days I lost 50+ points. Now karma in itself is fairly useless, but clearly this was one person going out of their way to single handly sink my positive karma. Just the idea of some pathetic ass sitting at their computer smiting me every hour really annoyed me. So I had an alternate account I had created back in 07 when I lost my password and said "well goddamn, I'm not going down without a fight". I exalted myself a handful of times but quickly realized I was no match and there was no saving the karma, and said "
it". It was then I get a Warning Bar, saying I was 'cheating karma'. My karma was also reset to 0, but that was going to happen anyway so I didn't care. But the warning bar pissed me off, because I wasn't trying to "cheat the system". I wasn't sitting there all day exalting myself and it's not how my karma had gotten to 70+. I sent PM's to Jay, explaining the situation and stating how I honestly didn't even know this was a warnable/ban-able offense. I figured it was like jerking off on an airplane, that it was something frowned upon but not illegal. Regardless, he didn't bother to take the time to respond.
AND NOW, I get another 25% warning bar. What is this one for? For "spamming the RAW thread". Now, I wasn't in last week's RAW thread, so it means this one. And what does my spamming constitue? Posting the "Back to Five Meathead" commercial video. I mean, what the hell? Seriously? IT'S AING IRONIC POST ON THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NO COMMERCIALS THIS WEEK. JESUS CHRIST.
I'm now at 50% warning, for absolutely nothing. Honestly, I'm someone in life who lets people do stuff to me and let it slide because I'm not confrontational, but I'll be damned if I'm going to let people on the goddamn internet treat me unfairly as well.
So uh, that's it. "Leaving WF" posts are lame, I know, but I wanted the people who I consider my friends here to know why I won't be around anymore. This thread will probably get locked, but whatever. Stay sweet.
