SFGHQ

Post by nich »

Alright, time for another rant.

Around when I first joined the forums, as you know I liked playing the sonic games (Not my favorite series anymore). Well I found a place called Sonic Fan Games HQ. Basically people used special software to make their own games. Some people made games of sonic. They were called fan games as in not official sonic games.

Now I wanted to make my own sonic fan game. However I didn't know squat about programming. Since I was a kid I was way in over my head. I thought I was going to be making the best games ever all by myself.

Turns out Sonic Fan Games HQ, was the home for these kind of games. It had tutorials, resources, and engines to download. So I joined the forums. It had a help section so I thought I could use that.

Now I know what your thinking. "Oh great I see where this is going. You got banned because you were a troll at that age". Sadly no. I got banned before I could even start being an bottom. What that means, is I got banned for the smallest reason.

When I was first on the NELGF I always thought I was being treated like shazam!. I now realize I deserved it. But on this other forum I was truly treated like shazam! by the worst moderator ever. I think his name was Slingerlad, but not sure.

Anyway the first thing I did was I announced two of my games (I didn't start work on either and never started TBH). Anyway the mod posts in topic one and tells me that I can't just talk about the game and I need to have screenshots, videos, or a demo.

OK. That makes sense but he then does the same thing in topic two, says the exact same thing and says I'm on strike two. Well I made those topics at the same time so it seems kind of unfair that it's strike two. It's not like I made the second announcement after you warned me.

So no big deal though. So next I want to know how to get an avatar. It was my first time on forums and I wanted to upload a picture. So I make a topic and ask for help. Guess what everyone does? They ignore my question and have an unrelated conversation like I just opened up a chatroom for them. And almost all of them had an avatar.

Naturally I get pissed. So I say "Can't you guys read? I asked how to get a picture on my account." The smartass mod says "Read this" and wrote banned in big, red, bold letters.

So I got banned for two months. After my ban I come back. This time I would focus on making my games before I talk about them. So i was looking for engines to use and I found one that this guy made and I ask if I can download it because it looked pretty sweet.

Unfortunately, It was strictly for his game and he was not making it open source. Everyone then thought I was desperate to get his engine. They didn't understand that I accepted the fact that he said no. I asked, he said no, I said OK. Even when I asked if I could volunteer to help him with his game they thought I was trying to steal his engine.

The same mod then bans me again. This time for asking for resources instead of searching for them, and for spelling. And I never made any grammar or spelling mistakes. Just because I didn't use upper case at the start of a sentence. I understand it's unprofessional but does it really deserve a ban? Oh yeah it was permanent ban BTW.

To make it worse he made an addition to the forum rules about asking for resources AFTER he banned me. You can't just make up a rule after I broke it and ban me for it. Just give me a warning. Now sure if the rule is common sense like being an bottom, posting pornography, doing illegal activities, then I can be banned. But asking for resources doesn't seem like an obvious rule breaker.

That mod wasn't the only one. Another one warned me that he would ban me if I kept being lazy with my spelling. Awful website.

This seems like something you should just let go and forget about.

Also you didn't post screenshots to prove this really happened.... so I just think we should talk about something else at this point.

What's your favourite kind of pie? Mine's apple, but a well made blueberry kicks bottom too!

OMG, I had such a tasty slice of coconut cream pie when I was in the hospital. I think I'm going to have to pick one up from the freezer section next time I'm at the store. Or a pumpkin pie. Speaking of delicious desserts, I need to make a cake as soon as I wake up tomorrow.

I have forgotten about it. I just wanted to make a rant about it.

Also I don't eat pie.

Ok if I don't start getting screenshots of all this food then someone's getting banned.

Final warning

To tell you the truth before I joined I thought you were being treated a little harshly here too... in fact that was one of the reasons why I joined, was to stand up for you.
