Woes of a Board Writer Part 2

[Stormtrooper1990]

Stormtrooper, your comments here continue to avoid the main issue. The problem has nothing to do with the content of your stories, nor even the content of the accompanying pictures. It has to do with the manner and the timing with which you post the pictures. You came to a compromise with Rufus (regarding posting all your pictures in one link) and then were given a more direct compromise from Esercito (who asked you to edit the links directly into your posts when new pics came up). However, as of yesterday, you have continued to post individual link-by-link posts, usually a few minutes after someone else on the board posts an update or comment on another story section.

I'm sorry if this sounds confrontational - I have been a part of this board for over ten years, and I don't think I've ever gotten directly involved in any overarching controversies. However, I feel it is appropriate at this stage to step in, if only because I enjoy this board - I like writing stories, and I like reading stories, and I've always tried to maintain a level of respect when it comes to other writers posting and commenting. Your manner of posting in recent weeks has struck me - and others - as disrespectful, both to your fellow writers who contribute stories here and to the board at large. And as others have noted, it is hindering other people's motivation to post and comment on their own stories.

I hope that you will honor Esercito's instruction going forward, and that this matter can be resolved without further controversy.

Thank you. Enjoy the summer, all.

To be completely honest, I have had expended enough energy talking about how my posts yesterday were meant to be in no way disrespectful to my fellow board writers. You are going to have to take me at my word when I say My manner of posting is not meant to be in anyway disrespectful, discourteous to my fellow board writers. Like I said in previous posts, I fully intend to commit to the compromise I set out with Rufus. Esercito until he apologies for his veiled insult will not have my respect.


When did I say that this has anything to do with the content of my stories or my accompanying pictures? Because I know I didn't mention that. The pictures are there to provide both a background and an accompaniment to the stories, to give readers the chance to visualise the locations and uniforms of Ellana’s world. They are not meant to be a token of disrespect or strategic posting on my account. Truthfully, I don't really read or comment on anyone else's stories because I'am too busy with writing my own, I simply don't have the time. If you can point out an occasion where I was disrespectful then please show me.


Otherwise, I will continue to post my stories and share my creativity with the board. Then you can see for yourself that I will be honouring Rufus' compromise. After all Acta non Verba.

Stormtrooper,

Is there a reason you chose to update your latest story with a post consisting solely of a one-image link a few minutes after I posted a reply to one of my own stories?

My first thought was that it was a coincidence, so I decided to test that theory by deleting my own reply and reposting it. And sure enough, a few minutes later, you deleted and reposted your own post, thus regaining your status on the board's main page.

People have repeatedly asked you over the past few months to stop adding image links to your stories in a manner that serves only to ensure your stories remain accessible on the main board page at the expense of other writers. You even made a compromise with Rufusluciusivan, which you have since broken several times - with today being the latest example.

Let me say this clearly: Regardless of your intentions, this manner of posting is disrespectful to your fellow writers and board members. This has nothing at all to do with your stories themselves, nor does it have to do with your relationship to other writers on the board. It is simply a manner of keeping this board healthy and respectful. And at the moment, your manner of posting does not contribute to a healthy or respectful atmosphere.

I am asking once again: Please stop posting image links in this manner. Either post them all at once when a chapter is complete - as you previously agreed to do - or better yet, edit your posts to include them directly into the stories' content. This would go a long way towards keeping the board civil and free from any misunderstandings.

Tirepanted,

I haven't broken my agreement with rufus, in fact I resent such accusations and being condescended to in this manner. How i chose to reply to my friends on the board or post additional content ( if there's anything to post) is my own choice and as i have reiterated before i will honour my agreement with Rufus. Besides, that image link was the only one I have to post on Chapter 45 part 1. I will continue to update my stories using the model we agreed to, when applicable.


Anyway, what difference does it make who's name is on the index page. Yours? Mine? You know has well I do that names and content get replaced as it's updated. That's how the board works.

I would like to clarify that I'am not being disrepectful to my felliw board members with the manner of my posting. I grow tired of having to reiterate this when this matter already as been resolved. It is not my intention to cause fraction or disharmony within the board, merely to write stories and share my creativity and to contribute to a board that I love . And to comment on anything that catches my interest. Something I will continue to do so for a long time to come.

Stormtrooper you are direspectful at pathological levels

This unnacceptable behavior ends here

[esercito sconfitto]

Ah I forget you are close to get a banning

Thus, calm down

What are you talking about? You can't just ban me for one picture which I will put back up sooner or later. Not after all of my contributions I have made which have revitalised story corner.


Besides, how dare you call me disrepectful. You've got room to talk, I won't do into any detail in order to preserve board integrity and to keep myself from being banned. But you know what I mean.


Might I suggest we both calm down. This entire conflict is getting us nowhere. All I want to do is write and write I shall. But don't call me disrepectful.

[esercito sconfitto]

Stormtrooper, congratulations

you got a special award tonight


banned for six hours



as far as I am one of the moderators, no two-tier policy at this board

[Daveyjonesagain]

This is getting annoying.

Storm, you have been caught red-handed several times by several members and you always reply with a wordy script gaslighting people as if they don't have eyes and brains. You are in the wrong and have been called out in a professional manner with more patience than you deserve. So just stop. No more scripted theatrics, no more fake apologies, no more gaslighting. Just stop doing it and everyone moves on. Please do not bother replying to me. E.S. has the majority's support to ban you permanently if you do it one more time. Thank you.

[Stormtrooper1990]

Hi everyone

I would like to take this chance to apologise to all concerned if my actions have damaged the board in anyway or soured relations with my fellow board members. I'am ready to move on from this and continue to contribute to the board.


That's all I have to say on the matter, thank you.

[Stormtrooper1990]

ES

Kindly explain yourself why you decided to tamper with my story posts again. I did nothing wrong and besides Jaeger's fans posted soon after I posted the picture anyway.


I wouldn't want to accuse you of bullying after all or have any other nasty ... misunderstandings.
