I feel like I owe the people here an apology.
- Thread starter TyraZaurus

My uncle works at Nintendo and he says they accept your apology and because of it they're bringing back the National dex.
No idea about any of the details that got you banned, but that's a solid apology. Nice to see this kind of thing.
And? People are allowed to get attached to whatever they want, and there's nothing wrong with that. At the same time, saying toxic shit is bad no matter the reason. I don't know the full context of the OPs ban, but people need to remember that the people they're talking to here are real people. SOme with severe emotional issues like depression. What make come off to you as a light hearted joke or a petty insult could really hurt the person on the other side of the screen
Sure they're allowed to get attached, but is it healthy to, if it results in behavior that gets you banned? There is such a thing as unhealthy attachments.
Sure, and that's why learning restraint is necessary. But at the same time, I think it's rude to make light of someone's feelings towards something they're passionate about, no matter how silly it may seem to you
Dude, chill. No one takes it seriously, and we all have bad days where we pick fights. We love you, in the end. Good to have you back!
I don't necessarily agree with this attitude. Most people on the forum don't take these sorts of arguements seriously, but some might. And you really don't know which people here might have serious issues and look to this forum as a safe space, for better or worse. That's why I think the OP is absolutely right to reflect and try to better themselves
Hmm I'm the opposite. My comment was absolutely meant to make light of it. They should be able to make light of their overreaction and move on. Don't beat themselves up over it. Chuckle about it and grow from the experience. Because in the end, it's Pokémon.
Honestly, your thread just gave me an idea.
It would be cool if there was a thread where people that got banned could acknowledge what they did wrong and what they had learned from their ban. Even if it was just an act for some, the act of communicating the results of introspection matters.

I've never been banned on any platform before. What's it like?
I'd imagine it'd be like being a ghost, only being able to observe but not interact.
Anyway I'm glad you took the time to reflect on your actions OP. Being banned on a forum may be a small deal for lots of people, but you took it upon yourself to see it as a lesson to self-improve. It's quite admirable.

Oh no, I'm not dismissing the post. I fucking love that OP is aware enough. But, overall chill, we don't take certain actions seriously and won't think any different. :)
(Maybe I used the word chill cause it's MOTHERFUCKING HOT AT MY FRIENDS HOUSE AND HIS AC IS DEAD! I need to literally chill!!)
Interesting. It could also be a dedicated section with a specific thread for each banned user wherein only the user and admins/mods can respond. Also, there will be a poll wherein everyone can decide whether the user will be banned permanently.
I don't feel like mob rule with regards to bans is a good idea tbh
This made me crack the F up, not because of the subject but how you described it and your honesty.
Oh trust me, the OP's op about the duality of the need to be right in the face of posting like an idiot spoke to me in the moment.
I checked again after a while and it turns out they banned all/most of those cunts lmao whoops. Please forgive me, kings.
Yup, putting the phone down or closing your comp and walking away for a second does wonders, as does recognizing when you were wylin. Also, why does Pokémon make people so heated...? Those threads are something else
This is pretty much every discussion on this forum. Don't feel too bad.
Owning up to mistakes is a very honorable thing to do. I respect people more when they admit their wrong doings, it shows they have the ability to reflect upon themselves and have an understanding of the situation at hand. Good on you OP.
How to survive in Era:
1) Don't talk about things you don't know: Don't just blurt our the first thing that comes to mind. It is okay to not know things; I t's even better to just read sometimes.
2) Mind your business: As the famous wise woman Tiffany Pollard once said, "you should have just sat there and ate your food." Don't insert yourself in the middle of charged topics where you'll most likely speak out of turn and suffer a ban for it.

OP
Honestly, this is a problem I've had recurring, for a number of years, and I always begin addressing it with apologies and promises to do better only to start the whole thing over again. So... don't give me too much credit, either. Because this isn't the first time.
I dunno. I don't want to get too much into self flagellation, but this has been eating away at me. I have depression, social anxiety, and honestly, a lot worse mistakes than this behind me that this isn't the time or place to address. But I do legitimately want to grow past this.

Type out your response on notepad app or better yet, write it out by hand. Then read it back to yourself and ask... really? Is this worth it? By the time I'm done writing out my " come back" and reading it to myself I've cooled down. If you write it out and come to find that your response to whatever has irked you is something that doesn't warrant a long response then... it's probably just someone baiting you/ trolling/instigating a fight. The ignore button is very useful
It depends on the platform. Usually it prevents all access while logged in. Some places like Reddit prevent you from posting in that particular subreddit, but you can still browse it all you like.
Was this copypasta Zatt? He got banned again?!? Please tell me it wasn't over Avengers Box Office
I get so mad discussing the sword and shield controversy I have stopped posting in threads or on social media about it. It's incredibly unconstructive anger.
Good on you for admitting it and expressing yourself, OP, most people would just double down and blame others.
