Why do you think I argue on and on with Zero and the other mods on this site?
Is it because it makes me feel important?
No.
I do it for all the members on here who don't have the privilege to lock and unlock threads.
I do it because I'm the bottom of the food chain.
I'm not a "core member". I wasn't on Tremorton High.
And I'm never gonna be an moderator or meditator or whatever either.
Why?
I like to think that it's because Zero has a grudge against me, and truthfully I don't know if that is true or false. But, if I'm to be objective about it, it's because I ask too many questions.
Everytime I try to fight for something, I'm up to my neck in mud. And even though I do have happened to get support from Bella, critter and Tim which I am grateful for, I just don't have the strenght. I've finally given up. I'm often all alone with presenting my views to the administration.
Because some people on here does really think Zero is infallible. He never needs any second opinions. He can't make mistakes. Unless when he does.
And everytime a problem or situation arises, it all reverts back to the same ways.
Zero is Atlas who carries the entire forum on his back.
He is infallible, his word is law.
Users' rights disappear into thin air. We're supposed to shut up and sit down while he makes all of our decisions for us, and if we're nice he might even tell us about them.
The little problem with this is that Zero isn't on here 24 hours a day. He can't always "make everything right" with his magical locking-powers. And if he wasn't here and something happens, it's the members' fault. Because the members aren't worth much.
You don't believe me? Let's have an example of how those who in power look at those who have none:
Tim: "I'm locking this thread before anyone start bashing Ryota."
XJ-0: "Spoken like a true meditator."
This is the mentality.
People on here don't have tact.
They aren't even human.
The administration expects us to be uncivilized beasts.
We need to hurry up and lock this thread before people go in and speak he-who-must-not-be-named's name!
The thread I created got locked. How much Ryota bashing was there in it? I hoped that he would keep his promise to stay off forums since I think it would benefit HIM. Sonicheroes said that one of his remarks was immature. Can you call that bashing?
The answer is no. It's just that the moderators and admins on here are scared.
Scared of Ryota.
Scared of problems.
Scared of conflict.
This is not my vision of an optimal administration. People who lock threads as soon as a debate rises, or the 'keyword' is spotted, and which that one is I don't need to tell you. People who expect their users to act uncivilized, and treats them as such. And I'm sick and tired of not being treated as an equal, but of lower value.
I surrender. You win XJ-0.
So with that being said, I'll be taking my leave. I'm gonna check in a little on this thread and maybe comment on some response if I feel like it. If you want to speak with me you can reach me on my hotmail: confidential100@hotmail.com, which also is my MSN but I'm not on it very often.
And I know that I've said goodbye one time before, but came back after a month or so. And that's because I do like this place. I like the users. I'm gonna be missing it. And I don't know for sure if I'm gonna be able to stay away forever. But I can't live in a paradise with a God that is above me, who tells me that I can't eat apples one day and the next day tells me I can't eat bananas.
And Zero, if you lock this thread or delete it, count on that I will come back and repost it until you'll have to ban me.
