Maybe it's been undermined, but where is the proof on these forums that it's actually been undermined?
All I have seen is:
A) People blaming me. (NOT blaming the Forum Management etc)
B) A few people supporting what I did.
C) No-one actually saying they have lost trust in the forum staff since my actions.
D) Everyone else just carrying on as usual and not even getting involved in this mess.
So where exactly can you physically see the undermined bit... or is that all in your head and that is what is feeding your upset because you believe this forum management has been undermined regardless of whether it actually has been.

I may not have noticed this but who exactly has left this forum since I did what I did and for what specific reason?

I hate to say it, but you have no idea how much work the mods put into this place, unpaid, and when one member of the team does something, the entire group get blamed for it.
Again the "entire group get blamed for it"..... that is in your head. Where exactly are people blaming the entire Forum Team for what I did? I don't see it, do you? The most common thing for people (especially those on the team) would be to think that everyone will blame the whole team, but that is just what you believe in your head. Where is the proof that anyone is blaming anyone else but me???

Oh how little your mind is. The forum is here because the game is here. The forum is every much part of the game. I catch cheaters (multis, scammers etc) ingame and on forums. Scammers very frequently use the forums to carry out their scams. The fact I used to catch ingame is one thing, but I used the forums to expose them, because it is all part of the game. So no catching multis and scammers is not just an ingame thing, it's part of the forum as well.

why don't you guys delete my account to for being a supporter of wat Clarkey did
i lost posts too maybe not as many as some... but who the heck cares this isn't even a game this is a forum about a game HAHHAHA it's not Real Life it's not the game... it is a place to discuss a game... to get to know eachother better that play the game... not to post semi nude pics of girls... not to say oh look at the duck... lol jesus christ comeon lol it's a forum man
and earendil... your right Clarkey never did anything for the forum never once
No ToToRo and I didn't really get on, so people can't claim he's just my mate sticking up for me. And I do accept the full blame for what I did because no-one put a gun to my head.
But I had reasons, yes they were personal ones, but whenever someone does anything it's for a personal reason. The fact is people complained about Jack so much, then they started complaining about the Temple in recent months, Jack in my eyes had gone to far and Jason agreed. I didn't get support of the other admins because Mordack didn't want Jack fired, Zeratul didn't want to upset the spammer community by taking away their fake god plus he can never make a decision about anything, and Bazsy went with Mordack because otherwise it would have basically been a stalemate.
I finally decide on my way out to do something about it, apparently I should have read the Admin forums first as I would have seen that Jack was going to be fired anyway.... but that's ludicrous because there was plenty to fire him on when I was looking for it.
The Temple was deleted because Jack thought he owned it. I would not have deleted any other section of the forum. I had no reason to. Mikgamer, well that was for the lolz.
But people seem to forget that DaDigi banned me because he had a "personal upset" that I was unbanned. yet nothing happens to him. It doesn't matter whether his incident was small scale compared to mine, the fact is he had no legitimate reason to ban me besides his personal feelings. Where is that in the rule book?
It's not ok for me to abuse my powers on a high scale but it's ok for DaDigi (someone who he believes should be an admin himself) to abuse his powers on a low scale?
You know it's funny, I can probably count on both hands, maybe even one hand how many people are continuing to make a fuss over this.
It's funny how people suddenly start saying that I never did anything for this community. How many people have I prevented from being scammed i wonder? Yes my final act was wrong and stupid, but people are focussing on that and that alone.
Earendil, you may think i have done nothing for these forums or community, but what have you done?
