So yeah. It's been years.
I joined in 2008, was a prominent member of the community. Some things I suggested have shaped this site, still to this day.
I was extremely active. Both in the community, and in the marketplace. I scaled quickly in social-status and business-status. I even got some extra permissions because I was active reporting stuff and trying to be a mod.
Now, why was I banned? Because I only gave negative rep. I never once gave out positive rep.
I didn't hand them out for no reason. I only gave them to those who were truly deserving.
Back then, and still today; there's a culture where everyone only +reps, and never -reps. Because they're in fear for another user to -rep them in return. I didn't let that effect me.
Again, I was not handing out negative reps randomly. I didn't break any rule. Anyone who was truly active in the community knows this. I was one of the first people to reach 1000 rep. And I did it without giving a single +rep out.
With enough people messaging Omni about me, and threads being opened about me; I guess Omni thought I was simply a troll. Or maybe abusing the system. But I clearly never was. If he, or staff at the time were more involved with community; they would've known. If he, or staff at the time were more passionate; they would've taken more time to look into it. Judge Dredd has a bias towards me, cause we were in similar niches, and abused that power.
But instead, my account was deleted. Not banned, deleted. Purged or something. I remember Judge Dredd making some personal comment publically about how my "legacy is purged and deleted." Then and now I can't find any of my posts. I'll find that post of his if I need to. Because he didn't delete his comments towards me, just my account and all my data.
I loved this site but that left such a bad taste in my mouth. More than that, it hurt deeply. I was a lonely teenager, ripped away from his community, trade, and friends. I was speaking about this site with my friend and he mentioned this forum is too big for anything like that to happen now; and I decided to check it out. I didn't expect it to hurt checking this website out, but it does.
I'm not asking for anything, and I'm not giving any revealing detailing more than I have.
I will be integrating myself here slowly. Thanks for having me.
