[quote=@NuttsnBolts] The next point I would like to address is Cyndyr's decision for quoting my [i]Private[/i] discussion with her. You by no means were obligated to display the additional portion of that discussion that I held with you, but you chose to do so. The reason why I directed you to Ruby was because I had no part in that discussion and if you would like to remedy any views on your persona then it would probably be a wiser decision to talk to the Staff Member in question rather than someone who was at the time heading second hand news. As pointed out you and Ruby had some sort of dispute that branches back to before the creation of RPG Official and you should be the one to take responsibility for those actions. The mention of accountability has been bought up in this thread, but by creating this thread you have also involved multiple members of the community who have nothing to do with the events being discussed. Do you take ownership for that in the same way that I have taken ownership for the bans, and mistakes, that I have made within my short time as a moderator? Your actions here, combined with Grim's actions, and even the actions of the staff, have affected many members in a negitive way. Friendships have been lost, trust shattered throughout the community, and the screenshots of who is the worse person needs to stop if we have any desire to move forward. Continuing to fight, rather than discuss; aggravated rants, rather than reports; and even quick reactions rather than a step back and reflection, have all stopped people from roleplaying and forced them into a battle of site politics. In future, raise your concerns through the correct channels so we can deal with them more efficiently. [/quote] I was under the impression that this was a discussion, is it not? I meant no harm with the creation of this topic and I personally believe that it has begun to reflect positively on the forums overall as it shows a willingness in the community to communicate and change. I will own and take ownership for any negativity that has been caused by the creation of this topic, otherwise, I simply see this message as an attempt to shift blame onto me. I do acknowledge, however, that you are right and I should have simply spoken with Ruby which is an action that I do apologize for. It was an action that I believe would have resulted in further damage, but based on what Ruby herself has said on this thread, then I realize that the outcome may have been opposite from what I had initially expected. With that in mind, I do appreciate both you and Ruby coming forward to join the discussion as well as investigating Nyte's ban.
