@Dragon - I'll miss seeing you pop up every now and then too, I've always been interested in your opinion on things. @Yeti - We'll definitely see each other in London again, I wouldn't miss that for anything. I'll be sure to keep in contact. @Merri - You're going to MCM? Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet. I guess you could say... *shades* ...we'll have a merri ol' time.
Guys, Echo's got this figured out. Seriously though, I haven't even heard anything except what was in the first post and I think I have some idea of what mighta happened. :I Could be wrong though. I wish ya weren't leaving, Foxeh. I'll miss you. You are awesome. -hugs tightly- Vale, mi amice.
Well… I figure it’s only fair to tell you all what happened. This is an entirely unfortunate circumstance caused by me, whose terrible wording (And explanation structure) caused Foxy to become severely uncomfortable with me and therefore leave the site as a result. This started last night, when a thought occurred to me; in the Staffroom a few days prior, we had discussed severing all ties with LPP, as most of you already know. And, as a result, LPP was no longer an affiliate, and it was decided that they would have to follow our advertisement rules like the rest of the users here. I, thinking to talk to Foxy about his signature and how it should probably get the OK with Eight Star, considering how it had Las Pegasus’s website on there, decided to tell Foxy that perhaps it would be best to remove the signature until it was cleared by Eight. What happened is as follows; [5/4/2013 6:51:51 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): Just letting you know that it may be safe to remove your sig on EP. [5/4/2013 6:53:05 PM] Wiegenlied Fuchs: Oh? [5/4/2013 6:53:41 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): It's advertising without permission. [5/4/2013 6:53:50 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): Technically. [5/4/2013 6:54:32 PM] Wiegenlied Fuchs: A number of other people have done similar in their sigs, is this being extended to them too, or just me because of what's happened? [5/4/2013 6:55:54 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): Everyone on LPP has limited privileges based on what happened; you can ask Eight about it later when he gets on though. Staff decided it'd be best to remove all LPP stuff, including links and stuff like that. Just telling you now before someone gets all overzealous. [5/4/2013 6:56:14 PM] Wiegenlied Fuchs: Limited privileges? [5/4/2013 6:56:20 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): Based on links to their site. [5/4/2013 6:56:30 PM] Wiegenlied Fuchs: So we are being singled out [5/4/2013 6:57:14 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): Based on what happened, yeah, kinda. You're just being subject to the same rules as everyone else since you're no longer affliates. Since we parted like that, it's a temporary measure. [5/4/2013 6:59:41 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): I mean like I said... you can ask Eight if you can have LPP in your sig later on. You just can't give the forums your livestream/twitch in public, and if someone reports you for advertising via PMs and stuff, we'll have to take action. Again... all of this is null if you get Eight's permission. [5/4/2013 6:59:51 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): But right now, you don't have any admin's. So... [5/4/2013 7:00:09 PM] Wiegenlied Fuchs: The sig links to the site, not any of the streams [5/4/2013 7:00:16 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): Still advertisement to LPP. [5/4/2013 7:01:13 PM] Wiegenlied Fuchs: It does disturb me that I'm being singled out [5/4/2013 7:01:31 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): You aren't being singled out really. Just being subject to rules that are there for everyone that you didn't have to go through. [5/4/2013 7:02:50 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): Steel Strings (Saikyo) sighs. [5/4/2013 7:06:29 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): Not enjoying this in the slightest... [5/4/2013 7:13:30 PM] Wiegenlied Fuchs: And what rule is this specifically, because I can give you a number of people doing the same thing [5/4/2013 7:13:40 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): They have permission. [5/4/2013 7:13:44 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): Not you guys. [5/4/2013 7:14:24 PM] Wiegenlied Fuchs: Every single one of them asked, or ours is explicitly removed? [5/4/2013 7:15:23 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): Name the people who are doing so and I'll tell you who is and who isn't supposed to have links there. [5/4/2013 7:18:25 PM] Wiegenlied Fuchs: EsyRx links their youtube, soundcloud and tumblr, Poetic links tumblr and dA, Tech Tea has tumblr, dA, youtube, I could go all night with this [5/4/2013 7:19:42 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): YouTube, Tumblr, and dA are all acceptable links without permission. Soundcloud I dunno about since you can make money off of that. I'll have to ask Eight. [5/4/2013 7:19:55 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): You're advertising a website, which is different. [5/4/2013 7:19:57 PM] Wiegenlied Fuchs: You can make money off youtube [5/4/2013 7:20:24 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): YouTube doesn't apply to the rules unless they post content from it that breaks rules. [5/4/2013 7:20:30 PM] Wiegenlied Fuchs: But since you've made it so clear, everything will be changed by tomorrow night [5/4/2013 7:20:56 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): Or you can just ask Eight about it when he gets on tonight. It's better than nothing. [5/4/2013 7:22:38 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): Just telling you what the staff reached as conclusion. Removing all LPP links until further notice. You'll just have to get permission again. [5/4/2013 7:22:55 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): I don't have a problem with LPP being linked, but that's just not my decision. [5/4/2013 7:23:45 PM] Steel Strings (Saikyo): Just telling you before someone else does. And not as nicely. I believe where everything went wrong was the ‘limited privileges’ part. This is where I’m sure the line was drawn, and I crossed it. Hard. What I had meant by ‘limited privileges’ was that everyone on LPP had to follow the advertisement rules that everyone else on EP has had to for the past 2 years; this meant that I thought that the signature was linking to LPP, and therefore breaking this advertisement rule. As a result, I failed. Horribly. My intention was to let Foxy know that perhaps it would be on the safe side to remove his signature and tell an admin if it was alright to have it there; it turned into this, and I deeply regret it. To Foxy: I am so, so deeply sorry about this. My wording caused you to feel uncomfortable, it was rude, and I should have asked an Admin himself before going to you; my communication problems have been the source of many wrongdoings with me, and I’m sure as a result of this, many members here will bear a certain dislike, hatred, or both, of me. And I will accept that burden. I’ve made one too many mistakes, and this just crossed the line, even to myself. I hope this is enough to convince you, Foxy, that you are welcome here, and nobody is out to get you. It was a mistake, and one that I will have to carry with me, along with many, many others. I don’t think you can forgive me for this, I know. But I don’t want you to leave EP for good. I, and many others, want you to stay here and enjoy this site for what it is, and hopefully what it can become in the future. Don’t leave everyone else behind because of one person’s misdoings. Blame me for what happened, and don’t leave. Do the others a favour, and hate me for what I said. Please. I’m sorry. And to all of you who read this, I accept your dislike or hatred as well. I know that I am to blame, and that I have made too many mistakes over the past year and a half. I don’t know what I will do with myself, but rest assured, if something is decided, you shall know about it firsthand from me. I said I have no regrets earlier in a blog post a little over 6 months ago. Now I do.
Essentially, yes, but too many misunderstandings happen with me than I, and a few other people, care for.
It was a sig banner, I don't see the problem. I can't share my site in my sig? Regardless if it was LPP or not that's kinda dumb. It's not like he's asking for money, he's sharing his site with content of interest... That's hardly a form of advertising.

I have a lot I owe you for. I wouldn't be here for you, I wouldn't have gained any affinity for this site without you, I probably wouldn't be where I am without some prodding somewhere. To put it simply, I struggle to think of this place without the Foxiest of Tails. See you later. I hate for you to leave on such terms but that is not my choice. There will always be a place for you here, should you want it. *hugs*
Wow, well good on ya for owning up to your mistake. :3 Mistakes happen I guess- I just hope that Foxy realises he's not being singled out afterall... Please stay Foxy! We luv uuu!
