This is it, OB.

[tweep 3]

Goodbye Outbreak. This is where the road ends for me.

I am going to be honest with this, because I have nothing to lose in doing so. I have recently been demoted over making a comment that was deemed disrespectful. This last few posts of this topic contains the backstory. Basically I have been wanting to run this forum based event, and I kept pushing for it. McLovin agreed to let me run it from a single topic in the gaming section, as he didn't agree with it - we are a "CSS based community", which means we can only play CSS here (and minecraft).

Now, my post was a little disrespectful, I will admit it. I also need to say that it was not intended to be; I saw McLovins post as a bit of a knock to my efforts, so I posted back with something that was meant to be light hearted, and was made jokingly. So I get demoted.

Now I am going to be honest. I did have a lot of respect for you, McLovin. However, being demoted over this is disgraceful. I was reasonably active moderator, I only ever missed about one admin meeting, and I tried my best to contribute. I've gotten on well with as many people as I can, and I have always tried to be fair to those that I don't like.

A lot of mods have been given second chances over a lot worse things - I won't say what they are, because I still respect that fact that what happens in the admin section stays there. But I have been refused another chance, even though I have apologised multiple times, because my comment was (although unintentionally) disrespectful.

I was refused a second chance because I am not "capable of admining" with my "level of social communication." One of my worst flaws is taking things too personally. I will take this personally, because this is very personal. This is actually INCREDIBLY insulting. Not a little bit disrespectful, which is why I was demoted. Also, ignoring people after they have put in so much work is very rude, it shouldn't take days to talk to you about this.

I will repeat this. I was refused a second chance because I am not "capable of admining" with my "level of social communication."

This didn't follow the normal format; there was no admin meeting about my status as a mod, I was not spoken to over teamspeak to explain myself; I was demoted because, well, I dared to disagree with McLovin with something. I wanted to run this forum based game for the community, and this is what I get.

So in short, I got demoted for being a little bit disrespectful (even though I've apologised and explained it wasn't intentional), and when I tried to ask for another chance I was told I am socially retarded.

I don't have a place here anymore. Goodbye.

I made a bet with someone that you'd never make an apology to someone unless it was in private chat, this pretty much proves it you seem to have an issue with how other players see you, as if, if you shown other people respect, those players would respect you less. So yeah, your primary problem is not being able to admit your wrongs in public in order to save face

:o :shock:

Oh my.

I for one am sad that tweep's time at OB had to end this way as he was one of my favourite admins, when things were really bad on the server, he always put things straight. Now, I am not in any way trying to get myself involved here, but all I am going to say is this; Tweep was a Very good admin and was more than capable... I have NO proof of these claims of what McLovin said hence why I am tip-toeing around this whole situation to keep my head above the dirt, and my membership in tact.

It is an unfortunate event and it is beyond my power to do anything about it. However I feel I would need to hear both sides of the argument to make a valid opinion on the matter... Not that it would make much difference to anyone anyway, I just thought I'd share my thoughts on this.

Tweep, If we never see you again (Hopefully you decide to stick around and repair this relationship) Then I wish you all the best for the future etc. Keep in touch. ;)

The awkward moment when you figure out that you probably have a social problem on the internet if you play on the internet.

I'd just like to give my tuppence.

If I'm not mistaken, the main purpose of this server is to provide entertainment and enjoyment to all. If someone puts into danger other people's enjoyment, then they should be banned. An example of this is cheating, not playing by the rules etc. But for something as minor as this.. being disrespectful is not a good reason to demote someone in my opinion. Sure, if someone is continually rude and disrespectful, then they should be dealt with. But Tweep only made one comment, and he apologised and asked for a second chance.

I'm sure Mclovin is perfectly able to but a small comment such as Tweep's, behind him. For that reason Tweep has put no ones enjoyment in danger, he didn't really hurt anyone's feelings, and it I believe that it was an unfair punishment. Everyone deserves a second chance, if they really mean it.

Also, I'm not really sure I understand what is meant by 'lack of social communication'. Is Tweep not 'cool' enough to moderate the server? Gaming, regardless of weather you can use a mic or not, is antisocial. It is impossible to socialise with another person(s) without actually talking to them in person. Tweep was a good moderator, he was fair and a good guy. I still don't see the need for such hate.

I believe he took some tings way to seriously and over time came into some situations with some admins over time.

This is the 5th time we had a argument with tweep about some issue and frankly i think this is enough.

It seems that even though I did not wanted to post on here, I still have to. I already had a long chat with Tweep I told him my story and he told his to me. The thing is more happend then just this and apparently me saying that his social skills were not the best I quote: "Your social skills have alot to do with that. I am not saying your mental or anything, its just that you take stuff way to personal. Wich leads to events like these. From what I can tell I would like to give you a second chance but I wont since simple said I dont think you are capable of admining with your level of social communication."

I have never claimed him as being social retarded.

The thing is people claim to know the whole story but only have seen what happend at the last part. I dont mind people posting a goodbye or giving their oppinion I just would want to point out that they might not know everything.

Other then this: "This didn't follow the normal format; there was no admin meeting about my status as a mod, I was not spoken to over teamspeak to explain myself; I was demoted because, well, I dared to disagree with McLovin with something. I wanted to run this forum based game for the community, and this is what I get."

This has never been a format. I actually dont know where you get this from.

Anyway, I wish you the best goodbye Tweep.

Sad to see you go. You were a good admin as from what I've seen, offcourse I don't know what's behind the scene in adminforums/talks.

Anyway, stay in touch with me over steamchat mate. It's not because you aren't in OB anymore taht we can have fun in some other games. We are gonna play a game of L4D2 soon!
