Look, if you want to ban me, that's fine. But I need to say something before I go. I was recently suspended and banned for like 3 days for giving a rating in a truck which I felt deserved the rating. The author of the file proceeded to personally attack me in the comments (I have contacted and made up with the creator). I was then banned after this. It is my first amendment right to speak about what i feel, and the ratings section is there for that purpose. To leave our thoughts on how the file is, and that's exactly what I did. I didn't violate any community rules, didn't express hate towards anybody, and didn't break any rule posted on the site. Over the past few months my account has been active, I have been given warning points for similar offenses for absolutely no reason, which I let slide. Now, I am not. I am not only speaking for myself, but many people, whom i have witnessed be abused like a dog on this site, and cower in fear and not open their mouth for fear of retaliation by these so called "community members". Back to my situation. I believe this is segregation and prejudice to the highest degree, as after 1 mistake I made in my first week of being active, everyone on here has personally attacked me and disregarded me. I am tired of it. If you want to ban me, go ahead. But I want to alert the operators of this site the evil, vile people whom have attacked and personally hurt me. It has gone so far as to have received Death threats. So I get banned for expressing my own opinion, not violating any rules, but someone threatening to KILL ME, encouraging my suicide, and dishing out violent hate speech (prohibited in the community guidelines) is allowed to get off the hook with not so much as a warning. I don't understand how people like these can function in society. I am sickened, as all I have wanted to do is contribute to a community. Now, I'm realizing the disgusting nature of the community. May I remind all of you, this Is a damned game. Not life or death, a damned game. A 3 year old has better etiquette than some of you. All of you are probably boiled faced nerds sitting behind your computer screens in your mom's basement. Hopefully no one will ever have to experience this terrible, evil, blatant hatred again. I invite a corrupt Moderator to ban me. Take away my rights. Silence me so your corrupt forum can continue to shield your hatred. Some of you have been really nice (John Cannon, Danny Mackey, thanks), and some of you have been some of the most evil people I've met. I'm not only ashamed for the embarrassment of yourselves, but also the ego of everyone on here. Let me tell you. You're not the "coolest dude on the planet". You run a Video Game forum. You're not the damn president. You're an idiot. All of you are violating others' rights, exactly what the community rules prohibit. How hypocritical...
I'll accept an apology, and grudgingly forget our differences, but i want the community to be aware so there is change. I hope to stay among you all, and end this problem. Please, join and help end our issues, and if you decide to ban me, so be it. Im trying to work it out like a gentleman here, so that future members, as well as current alike, don't have to deal with this BS anymore...
Sincerely,
