Let's have a nice civil discussion and give each other hugs.

Recommended Posts

First, I want to say Amon, despite you're trolling, and our (sometimes vastly) different political views, you are still one of the members I respect most on this site. I would hope no one would expect this to be some troll plot.

 

Anyway, reading this thread I'm glad I finally got a (somewhat) straight answer as to WTF has been going on. I don't know what went on with Koko, but if she left voluntarily then I see no reason to create a s***storm about it. As for Kinode (the only member I knew was banned before this thread), after reading a thread he made that was very quickly deleted, and Cella's comments on why he was banned, I think a temporary ban was for the best (before he did something worse and got perma-banned, which wouldn't be fun, since I would consider Kinode one of my "friends"* on this site). 

 

People just need to calm down. And the fact that this was started by a rule change? Disappointing.

Never in my days have I seen such a mass rustling.

Indeed.

 

*Friend being used liberally, as I don't really know anyone here on any kind of personal level.

THANK YOU.  I've been trying to keep an arm's length at all the drama recently unfolding because it's difficult to take a side and the whole thing's way too heated.  It's weird because for a community brought together by a video game franchise promoting friendship and killing things with keys, the place is getting pretty Dark.  No one wants to pull a Terra and become the very thing they're fighting against: namely, poor reactions brought by the unnecessary rustling of jimmies (and creepy grandpas, I guess).  Unfortunately, this is the internet and you can't expect everyone to be civil.  I suppose the best you can hope for is to keep a cool head and at least attempt to be the rational one.

I felt a great disturbance in the jimmies, as if hundreds of jimmies cried out in anguish and were suddenly rustled. I fear something terrible has happened. 

 

This isn't the end, my friend. This is just a teaser of the Great Rustling that will happen on 12/21, a mere 19 days away. Prepare your jimmies friend.

Ok I went to look in the rules section for whatever this was about and I didn't find anything remotely offensive so could someone please tell me what the heck is going on?

 

A rule was added that forbade the use of creating threads entirely centered around inside jokes or individual members. Many people including myself saw this as a problem because we feel it is restricting our own little culture that we created here on KH13. The counter argument is that these inside joke threads exclude newer/more reserved members and make them feel left out. Some people don't care as they are not aware of the rule or it doesn't really effect them.  Read into to it a bit and form your own opinion.

Not going to join in with any of the arguing that's been happening, but I feel like it's worth pointing out that Koko didn't leave voluntarily. She was kicked off of the staff. 

 

Interesting, I did not know this. I will modify the post accordingly but will make no official statements until a moderator or admin can speak on this.

I am well versed in the line of internet drama, so I discovered the best way to handle it is to either pummel it into oblivion with heavy trolling or try to calm everyone down. I chose the latter because I actually like the people here.

Ok, now that we had the civil discussion, where are the hugs going down?

 

I'm pretty sure there is hugging on top of the thread.

Yeah, I'm still confused as to just SO MUCH shit hit the fan, all simultaneously, on this site o.O

 

It appears some people have some grudges that they never really got settled and found that this was the excuse to go all out. 

 

I also think DC should of waited to remove Koko from the staff for a few days to a week. Doing it today almost caused an uproar.

If it isn't out of line, does anyone know why Koko was removed? If whoever knows would rather not divulge the reason, I completely understand.

 

DC made a thread about it.Edit: Got removed though. He basically said that Koko was inactive and hadn't even spoken to him in over a month.

Ah, I missed it. Oh well, thank-you. 

 

Well, now I think I am finally filled in on the major stuff that went down.
