@Somebody who exists; I've already said all I've wanted to. So long as people keep the bashing to a minimum, I'm fine.

@The Act 4; that's a big fat lie since I've admitted to multiple mistakes in the previous thread.

The only reason drama exists is people can't keep themselves to themselves.

Congrats.

I think the comments of "Better than the last Bureaucrat" are a bit uncalled for and needlessly spiteful. Hate me all you want for whatever happens elsewhere on the internet, but I've done fine as the Bureaucraft for this wiki.

After discussing the issue further with the wiki manager, and going back over the entirety of the thread, I’ve decided to resign as Bureaucrat from the wiki.

If I contribute any further to the editing of the wiki pages, it’ll be as a normal user.

I’ve defended the wiki against vandalism efforts for a long time, and I was rewarded for my efforts by being made Bureaucrat of the wiki to keep safeguarding it. Nothing about my attitude towards the quality of the pages or the standards against vandalism has changed since then.

I consider the matter of this topic effectively over, and I would ask that anyone who has participated on the thread so far allow me to demonstrate that I can be trusted again in the future.

@Serotoniin; is their sockpuppet "Saucerman"? Ya Boy King Kai banned that sock account permanently.

> Right, can I ask Damage one more question regarding the bans?

Sure. Keep in mind some of these bans took place a long time ago. Some of them no doubt seemed the best option to me at the time, and maybe some of them could have been handled better.

All I can say is that I don't believe it was a deliberate abuse of power by myself for any of them; I just might have reacted differently to how another mod have acted. When you're managing dozens of wikis like I have, and see trolls, vandals and bullies on a daily basis, banning people becomes a lot easier to give out judgement on.

I agree that 3 is not an option. I've already volunteered to have some of my user rights taken away no matter what the verdict is, and to place obvious limitations on my behaviour which if violated will result in an instant demotion and ban.

> So you decided to stop at Wednesday June 24, 2020?

No, not the day of the last update, but some time after that was posted. I don't know the particular date, but it was several months ago.

@Thebannanaworkshop; it was a series of multiple commissions. I changed my mind about it 11 months ago and couldn't bring myself to accept more commissions of the same series or by the same person.

As I've said multiple times further up the thread, I should have deleted it back then, and it was a mistake to not do so.

> Yes, They do exist, but its a lot harder to find them unless you are actively searching for them. With your stories, as reiterated multiple times throughout the discussions, they are available for the internet to see simply by searching up your username.

Not anymore. And everybody who reads the warnings knows what they get themselves into anyway.

> No. And I personally don’t find vore as bad unless it involves CHILDREN. If they’re writing messed up things, good for them, but expect repercussions.

I know you don't trust me, but I've already said I've only ever written the one fic that is like that, and I changed my mind about accepting the rest of the commission and finishing it. I didn't go back to it after that, and I've sworn off writing anything remotely similar in the future.

> I know it’s a basic separation, don’t you dare think for one moment that I don’t. I just know there’s right, and then there’s wrong. It was still in your head. It was still something you plotted of and deceived. And how can we be sure? Trust is easily broken and difficult to earn. However you spent your trust on these stories. You should have at least thought someone would Google you at one point or another. That’s the point of usernames. They state who we are on the online world. That Is who we present, and who we perceive.

I didn't say you didn't know. I've made what promises I am capable of making. The penalty for me failing that is quite steep. I'd even go so far as to quit every other wiki I work on if I screwed up, if that's what it took.

There's not a lot else I can do to gain trust than try my best.

> How couldn’t you tell that it was going to screw with people? Like, this isn’t a normal occurrence it isn’t normal for people to be like: “Oh woman don’t need rights!” Or “Child rape is ok!!” That isn’t normal. How didn’t you see that it would affect and bother people? Some people go through sh*t like child rape, and then seeing this would trigger something.. how could you have not seen that not everyone would look at this and not be repulsed by it?

You realize that there are hundreds of thousands of such stories out there? You are clearly not the target audience for them - and I never asked you to read them.

I have stressed enough times that I don't hold any of those beliefs IRL. If you see that someone is into vore, are you afraid that they'll try and eat you?

If you see someone playing a violent video game, do you think they'll become a school shooter?

I'm sorry, but this is very basic separation of fiction and reality stuff to me. It's literally not real. It literally doesn't make up any of my judgements or opinions, and doesn't influence any of my actions on this wiki.

> Why can't you just privatize it?

> Or at the very very very least, use a different username.

If I'd known that people would be this negatively affected by it, then I would have. As it is, the only thing I could do was delete the fic now, which I've done.

And I have admitted up above that it was a mistake to leave it up as long as I did after I changed my mind to not write any more for it.

@Thebannanaworkshop When did I ever deny that?

I'm sure I did in one of my earlier responses up the thread. Maybe not every single question of Fenn's, but I'm sure I've responded to Fenn's post.

> The problem with this sentence is that you don’t say you’re repulsed or repelled by the idea; just “not interested.” It sounds like you just don’t want to get caught for it on fandom and thus won’t show it on fandom, rather than actively avoiding all aspects of it.

I am repulsed by the idea of abusing my power or interacting badly with any user on here. I've never "abused my power" to take advantage of anyone, on any platform or in real life, and I consider it unthinkable.

> He shows no initiative to change for the better

I've already stated that I will never write something as bad as that again. I can't go back in time and undo what's already been done.

So the only thing that could be expected of me is that I say I will do better, and I stick to that, and I prove it.

If you don't give me the chance to prove it, then you're not being very reasonable.

> if you really meant what you were saying, you'd have already deleted your ao3 account by now, at least make a commitment

If the Wiki Manager asks me to do that as part of the solution to this, then I will.

At the very least, I'm currently changing the settings currently to hide the fics from search engines and unregistered viewers.

> Why would you even write something like that in the first place, even if you were commissioned there is no reasonable reason to write something like that.

Because at the time, I didn't think it could harm anyone. From my perspective, it is just fiction and it had enough suitable warnings at the top of the story that could direct people away from it even if they did somehow find it.

Anybody who came across it would make their own choice to read it. I didn't force it on anyone or share it around.

If people didn't want to read shocking content on websites like AO3, then they wouldn't search for it.

But I've matured a bit since I first accepted the commission and wrote it. I had to eventually quit writing more of it because I couldn't accept it anymore, and in all honesty I should have deleted it back then, months ago. It was just a mistake that I didn't do that.

I can only promise that I'll never write something as bad as that ever again.

> yet he didn’t take into account the fact that he literally wrote an underage rape fan fic

A fanfic that I've already deleted, and I haven't wrote anything like that since that fic was made. I don't intend on ever writing a story with that type of content again.

> You’ve banned people just for pinging you, Damage, even if they weren’t even doing so in the actual JoJo wiki. If that isn’t an abuse of power, then I don’t know what is.

I've banned people for continually harassing me, and showing no sign in changing their behaviour.

The Wiki Manager has banned other people for harassing me. I didn't ask for those bans.

Also, even if that somehow counted, what does that "abuse of power" have to do with the rest of this?

> Also damage. with statements such as these...the pedophile arguement...while not solid and is more based on fear. gains more leverage

The context of that is referring solely to fictional characters. Fictional characters can be any age you imagine them to be which is why I asked if anyone "gave a shit" how old they are, since you can age them up in your head.

I don't, for a single moment, think that about real life.
