A message from Ethereal

over 8 years

First off I admit I have said and done things in the past that are pretty terrible. I have posted on the forums and on the lobby wall. I have cheated, many many times, more than most people can even imagine. I have ban evaded, and done all sorts of horrible things. I was basically nothing but a personality-less troll that did things just to screw with people. I was young, bored, depressed, and dumb. I was immature and didn't realize the severity of the things I was doing. Looking back on the things I did back then today, I'm disgusted by my former self's actions. I can't even fathom doing those things today. I'm a different person and I am truly , genuinely sorry that I did those things. I honestly can't come up with a valid excuse for doing them, all I can promise is that today, in the here and now, that I do have remorse and I have changed my ways. I'm not a threat to anyone. All I want to do is help the site the best I can to maybe make up for the things I did.

People have accused me of being a pedophile. I'm going to deny that right here and now. I have never once been attracted to an underaged individual in my life. The idea of me being a pedophile is absurd. Four year old chat logs where I "admit" to it aren't worth anything, because EVERYONE in that chat was trolling. The whole chat was nothing but banned users. Everyone in there knew I was just screwing around when I said those things. I said them in order to troll crypto, who was in the chat. It was just something I said to shock / annoy him, not a confession of being an IRL pedophile. Furthermore, around that time I dated an 18 year old girl for six months and we were incredibly committed to each other. I wouldn't have felt the commitment and attraction to her that I would have felt if I actually suffered from pedophilia.

The last thing I want to address is the idea that i'm a "threat". What threat? Who am I a threat to? I have already shown you that I feel no desire whatsoever for children, so I pose no social threat to the community. As for moderating itself, I'm not going to suddenly start abusing my powers right after being modded, which is something I've wanted for years and years. I'm not going to throw away my chance by abusing powers, that's ridiculous.

By the way, in case any of you think I'm a threat... I've been running a keylogger on my PC which is keeping track of every single thing I type for the past month. I'm willing to share the logs with the mods in order to ensure I'm not abusing my powers, or being a threat to anyone.

"My phase of being a freedom fighter against corruption and for user rights and objectivity has long since passed,"

when you say something like this.. I think you should take the decision to stepdown yourself.

I, too, have the best interests in the community, which is why I decided to mod. It doesn't give me any more power than I already had, it just puts me in a position to help with the report load and consult on more issues with other mods, that's all.

You may not trust me, but I trust me to help the site run more smoothly, therefore I'm going to be staying on as a mod and doing work regardless of the protest group.

A bunch of people who don't like me for various reasons have ganged up on me and called for it, that's not the same as the community.

My phase of being a freedom fighter against corruption and for user rights and objectivity has long since passed, but Sammie's is in full force. Anyone who feels like "fighting the power" by protesting Sammie's promotion to mod is really shooting themselves in the foot lol.

Well, Sammie is pretty much the furthest thing from a troll these days.

Sammie is extremely dedicated to doing the right thing as a mod. I was in role mod chat with her and she argues incessantly for objectivity and thorough investigations even if its not really socially appropriate.

What I'm saying is, in essence, anyone who above all else wants moderator matters to be handled objectively and by-the-book-and-facts-only is very lucky to have Sammie promoted to mod.

Ehtereal at best you're just a massive ex-troll
at worst you're sick.

woohoo

I cannot comprehend why are ex-cheaters constantly being voted into the moderation team.

Does lucid not respect his own game anymore?

i don't get how in one sentence you can say that the idea of you being a pedophile is absurd and in the next sentence say you used to tell people you're a pedophile for laughs

sammie’s desperation to hold onto their seat of power runs counter to the point of moderating to begin with, which entails operating in the interest and safety of the community and playerbase. and so if anything, them stepping down wouldn’t be “throwing away their chance” but in fact the diametric opposite. they would be doing the best thing they possibly could as a moderator at that point by choosing not to be a moderator anymore.

I, too, enjoy telling random Internet strangers who don't really care about my life that I am inclined toward criminal and highly unethical behavior. It's a good "troll."
