Super Mario Bros. X Forums

Why do you guys treat me like a big punching bag? I never did anything wrong, yet I usually get downrepped for strange reasons and some of you think my comics are terribly unfunny when clearly you probably don't get the joke and your sense of humor is the problem.

My questions usually get ignored. GhostHawk banned me from IRC for no reason and I sent him 2 PMs, yet he hasn't responded. Eiolin, my friend, hasn't been unbanned despite my clear reasons that he should, and none of the staff have come back to me on my pleas. Darkmatt locked my thread(thanks a fucking lot) and told me to bring it up with Joey. Joey said he'll "discuss it with the staff", which is fucking weird because he's the forum owner for fucks sake and he(of course, unfortunately) still hasn't been unbanned. You people are not very nice friends and I feel bullied. If you don't apologize I'm bringing this up with... Let's just say, other people.

This right here is why.

You constantly have a cocky attitude about yourself, like you think you're hot shit and all that jazz, above all other users just because you think you can draw little nonsensical comics in Paint.

Newsflash: you aren't better than everyone else. Lay off the ego.

Your ego is why we treat you like "a big punching bag."

Another thing- whenever I say something, you reply saying that I'm mean and cocky, when really I'm not. THIS is bullying, guys. Stop it.

I've told you multiple times over the past few years what you're doing wrong and you refuse to change.

I don't treat you like a punching bag. I just have little patience.

First off, I never said you were mean, I meant that you were full of yourself; there's a key difference

And if you don't consider yourself to be cocky, then you should reconsider how you post, because that's what your posts make you sound like

I'll stop with that, then. Let's talk about the real situation now.

What else is there to discuss? THAT is why everyone has such a low view of you, it's because you carry yourself on this site as somebody who is completely self-absorbed.

As Jamie Hyneman puts it, "Well there's your problem."

Alright, Hawkeye, I'm gonna tell you why you're so.. disrespected in this community just through this post of yours, but in more detail since you don't seem to understand the others. I don't want you to tell me "well, no, you're wrong!" because you can't ask people something and then act like you know better.

yet I usually get downrepped for strange reasons

Can you give an example? If you think a downrep is unnecessary, use the report button.

and some of you think my comics are terribly unfunny when clearly you probably don't get the joke and your sense of humor is the problem.

Pretty much what Karl Marx said. And no, what he said WASN'T bullying. You asked a question and he gave you an answer. You ARE cocky. It's a synonym of a few other words like self-important, arrogant and boastful. You are all of those things.
The other thing is that if your sense of humour is so unpopular and.. distasteful that only you and Eiolin get it, you probably shouldn't be making comics aimed at a wide audience, especially in a community of roughly 14—19 year olds.

Eiolin, my friend, hasn't been unbanned despite my clear reasons that he should, and none of the staff have come back to me on my pleas. Darkmatt locked my thread(thanks a fucking lot) and told me to bring it up with Joey. Joey said he'll "discuss it with the staff", which is fucking weird because he's the forum owner for fucks sake and he(of course, unfortunately) still hasn't been unbanned.

If I were you I wouldn't be insulting the staff and then asking them to apologise, lol. Plus he'd have to discuss it with the staff. He wasn't the one who banned Eiolin as far as I know.
By the way.. are you fucking serious right now? How is this mature? How is this any real sort of apology or reason he should be banned? If Joey or the other staff don't want him in the community then tough, man. Even his second apology showed that he didn't really realise that the shit he was saying wasn't funny. And anyway, Joey already gave his reasons:

Joey wrote:Eiolin didn't look like he was worth having around though, if I remember correctly.

You people are not very nice friends and I feel bullied. If you don't apologize I'm bringing this up with... Let's just say, other people.

This just feels like the classic "I'm telling mummy!!" threat.
It's probably not a good idea to use pointless threats to get what you want, anyway.

I also want to say you're not the only user with negative rep either, so you're not "the odd one out" as your avatar implies.
Sorry if this is a little ramble-y.

It's essentially a long history of annoyance that has caused us to have little patience with you.

This doesn't need its own thread, so stop complaining when you don't get your way and blaming everyone but yourself. And btw, GhostBot banned you not me.

Vetoed.

Hawkeyeone can talk about this, so long as he is open for criticism and responsive toward concerns. This'll get locked right back up if you guys don't stay on this topic, so please keep it civil.

Bless you, DarkMatt.

Anyways, I'll try to reword my replies so they don't sound cocky or rude, but I want you guys to please help me out...

We've been trying to help you out for a long time.

Steps 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 should hopefully help you out at least a little

Thanks. The people in the images creep me out because they don't have eyes though.

So, Eiolin was banned for valid reasons. Even if you believe that he didn't deserve to be banned, he clearly broke the forum rules enough times that the staff decided he should be banned. He shouldn't get special treatment just because you know him in real life. I would not say that this is really related to people treating you as a "punching bag" (as you put it, and while I understand what you mean, I disagree that it is this extreme).

Aside from this, basically what Karl Marx said. You think too good of yourself, and in general people will not see this as a positive trait. People have given you suggestions for improvements to your overall behavior several times in the past, but you haven't really followed them. You have previously created extra TIAOH topics despite being explicitly asked not to by the staff, and named the topics with somewhat "inflammatory" titles, such as DICKS ON THE MOON IN ALL CAPS, which a lot of people will see as an attempt at clickbait.

Yes, he did, and I've been trying to get him unbanned because he knows what rules to follow now.

Why would he?

Actually it kinda is, sometimes really bullshit things happen to me.

Pseudo-dino wrote:You have previously created extra TIAOH topics despite being explicitly asked not to by the staff

I don't do this anymore.

Pseudo-dino wrote:and named the topics with somewhat "inflammatory" titles, such as DICKS ON THE MOON IN ALL CAPS, which a lot of people will see as an attempt at clickbait.

A lot of people read the first DICKS comic so they'll probably know what it is and others won't care.

Also, why are you so against capital letters in the DICKS series? The clickbait thing is out of the question since there's just one topic now. The capitals are just a humor addition for a series whose main point of humor is satire.

Give me some evidence of him being arrogant and boastful. Or maby you guys just assume that yourselves.

And what's wrong with him being arrogant? If he is arrogant it's probably not as bad as some people here. Trust me theres a lot of ego from members in this forum too. But I guess since their " cool " they dont get bashed for it
And about the dicks and crap on caps. I've seen that shit done many times by normal users.

shouldnt u be following every rule instead of select rules as u put it

also, it doesn't put out a very good first impression if your friend hadn't read the forum rules the first time he joined.

He did, but he didn't know how you guys acted and he just wanted to be funny and fit in.
