    Hi, I would like to take some time and express my feelings here. I know that I was harsh at times during my term as a staff member. I'm sorry for that. I could use an excuse as to why, such as "I was just protecting the server" bla bla. I will not however, because there is no excuse for that. I know that I could have been a better moderator in many different ways. I believe it would have to start with just being nice.
    I tried my hardest, but I guess it failed. Mainly I just had a problem with how my reputation was going. I wouldn't hear anyone on my wall say hi, get a skype message, etc. It has came to me why I was getting this negative feedback, it was because of my foul attitude.
    By my departure of the staff team, I didn't receive many thank you's or goodbyes. It was mainly just rest in peace (with many saying just rest, not in peace). I realized it couldn't have just not been my fault. So many people didn't like what I did apparently, I realize I need to fix that.
    I feel now as if I was in a bubble of self centered, nasty things. Me being demoted has opened my mind up so much more.
    Skyblock has a very important place in my heart. It was the first server I had ever joined. I stuck with it, I loved (and still do) everyone here. I came here in 6th grade, I'm now in 9th grade.
    As you all may know, I was demoted. It was a mistake on my part. I misused a permission given to me. Was it in no way to harm the server, however I just shouldn't have used this permission in this way.
    I would love to start fresh with everyone, get to know people that I didn't before, become friends with the people I didn't have the best relationship with. I am not the best person on this earth, I know that. But just please allow me be part of this community without a bad scab behind me. So please just let me pick it off, and let it be a scar :)
    (Impromptu similes/metaphors, whatever they're called)
    I'm not going to tag individual people, as I feel as if I have affected almost everyone.
    So cheers to Skyblock, and thanks for reading!
    Love you all, and I'm sorry once again. :heart:

    What did you exactly do for you to get demoted

    Why is that needed? I don't think it is. I'm not embarrassed, it's just not necessary.

    I think you will be a valuable member (as you always have) to the Skyblock community.

    I have seen your growth, as not many people admit their mistakes.

    Sorry if you didn't like it I guess? I would have never thought that this would be disliked, but if there is something wrong, I would love to hear it. Since the whole purpose of this was to start fresh :)

    Why are people disliking this? It's not needed. He made a thread apologizing and asking for a fresh start, grant him with it.

    Andrew, message me on skype if you have the time.

    One of those peeps that disliked it, as far as I've seen I haven't seen them like a single post. I will keep it anonymous to prevent arguments.

    There's no need to rate it dislike, he's trying to apology..

    On a brighter note. Everyone makes mistakes, just some don't realize it until it's too late. That's what happened to me as well. The time you get demoted, thinking you did everything wrong. Only at that time is when I finally realized I was too soft of a moderator. My demotion really changed me as a person. I became way more mature and more strict when I was repromoted.

    We can start off fresh again, though I don't recall anything bad happening between the 2 of us. I accept your apology, if some others don't oh well, at least you tried :)

    Shame to see mods rating an apology negatively. Should just not react at all.
    Its always good when people realise their mistakes and can admit they did wrong. So thanks. Of course I never worked with you in game, but I remember your forum conduct.
    Demotion makes us think about what we have done because we were not ready to leave, especially when we are active. I am sure it will not be hard to improve what you feel needs improving.
    You did the right thing at the end, thats all that matters.

    I mean it is completely fine to rate how you please, if there is something you don't like about this post, I really would love to hear. What is the point of just disregarding it, constructive criticism is key in my eyes.

    I mean I was just bad at controlling myself, for lack of a better term.
    I tried very hard to be friendly, and funny in chat. But right when someone was being very non compliant I would get overly stressed out, sometimes salty.

    I do give you respect for coming clean to the community, but I also feel like you were too harsh on me when I tried speaking with you.

    Which is why I am trying to come fresh. I mentioned me being too harsh, that is why I apologized :p

    We didn't have anything against eachother, or so I believe. I accept this and it's good to see you try for a fresh start. What could be better then a fresh start in a time like this?
