It would have been better if you would have told us that before. "It's because of forum security", while rather vague, is at least much better than "I have my reasons which I'm not telling".

It would have been better if the users would just shut up and accept the decision or at least turn on their brain before they post, instead of obsessing about a paranoid idea.

I'm sick of shit like this. The users are not the kings of the forums. They have absolutly no respect.

Great way of telling MS everything by the way..

If shit like this continues I will leave. I'm sick of beeing the only active administrator and I'm sick of the people on the forums.

Also, have you ever thought about the privacy of every user? Ban reasons aren't shouted out loud anymore for a reason. If you know someone personally, that person will tell you the reason anyway.

Edit: Also, MS knows now that I banned her, if she is a SAdmin she could access the forums anyway (doesn't matter if she's banned or not) and then she could ban me. Great job people. If she is going to take over the forums then have fun contacting SkyeWelse and wait 5 years until everything is fixed. I'm so fucking sick of this. Jeez, how stupid can someone be?

Why would MS being in charge of the forums be such a bad thing?

If the forums are so bad for your mental health, then leave; having an admin who is pissed off at the forums is bad for everyone. If you're sick of being the only active admin, appoint another admin. Simple solutions...

Well why didn't you say so? That's a better outcome than I could possibly have hoped for!
But I'm still not hoping for it, because there's no way you'd leave.

P.S. The users ARE the kings of the forums. It's called democracy, DEAL W/ IT.

"I don't care about my public image" you might say, but then ask yourself. Do you care about the forums? If you have a bad public image, the forums will have too much drama.

More importantly, the miraigamer site will have a bad image. Newbies viewing this thread could quickly change their mind about membership, and never come back, decreasing the userbase. This probably what hen, but it's what could happen. Having a faulty admin is discouraging.

There will be always drama on miraigamer. I'm kinda sick of these forums, they are not good for my mental health.
I'm sick of the arrogant and egoistic attitude of some users.

Then why are you here? We rely on you for leadership and guidance. If you are sick of the forums, how can you lead us? If you don't care, then why should we?

I've said what I've said, and that's it. It's Romans 13 philosophy from here on out.

1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

Fine. I will write an E-Mail to SkyeWelse, that I'm not longer interested in beeing an admin on these forums here. The users have spoken.

Wedge of Cheese said:

Because weird things happened and MS is the only person who could have done that.

I wasn't doing these things to the forums, SkyeWelse didn't, Shirofan didn't, Andwhyisit didn't and all the other users with more power are inactive.

The forums are owned by SkyeWelse, not by the users. Keep that in mind.

I have no interest in getting flamed and overseen for no apparent reason. Thanks.
Also have fun with my successor (if there will be one) or with the anarchy, as I'm not interested in this stuff anymore. I lost my patience.

There is a difference between caring about the forums and all users than a few ones who are not able to do anything else than flaming and feel like they are the government of the forums.
For example Captain Fab hates me for no apparent reason.
Fire1052 flames me for no reason and always tells me how much I suck at english.
Other people give me shit if I don't hand out information.

I don't need this anymore and it's only good for me if I resign and leave after all personal business is done.

Have fun on the other sites you're involved in.
Perhaps we'll cry out to you and you won't be there to listen, then we will have learned.

Yup. Besides that Fire1052 isn't able to do anything else than trolling and flaming it's all my fault.
Blame me, I'm the bad admin here.

And I also proved an example of democracy.
Yeah, today is a great day. DT would be happy to see Fire perma banned.

Yeah, and I was banned at the time to boot, so the accusations make perfect sense.

SP: If being an admin is too much, then you don't have to be an admin, just be a regular member.
They aren't mutually exclusive.

And nothing of value was lost.

Regarding everything else:
WoodenRat made a really excellent post. I'ma try and talk to SP this evening about... whatever-ness, see if I can at least get some personal understand from his view. I'm not saying that his was of going about the bans was the best idea, but there's also something to be said for having a bit of knowledge about the forum history and paying attention to what people have been saying about the place. Fire and Meta were hardly banned out of the blue.

As per usual this whole thing is very silly. SP leaving the site is probably the worst thing that could happen at the moment because there will be no active staff left on the site who can actually access anything. I don't have time to go into huge detail at the moment but let's just say I am going to be incredibly pissed off if I have to clean up this mess on my own.
