Since I didn't want to post it before... Here's a rundown of what exactly happened today and how things could've been handled better. Yes, I will admit I did handle some things poorly. But this is it.
Seeing the policies for the Xbox One were updated, I decided to share them, and maybe get some actual discussion out of it. Only one person, Cody, actually made an effort to actually have a discussion about it. Well, he was the only civil one about it.
Hexidecimal and Beware of Cuccos were just hating on the console again for no apparent reason. They never discussed the policies, it was just mindless hate. (Though Cuccos did post an image of an overview of the policies change, she still didn't really talk about the policies afterwards.)Though things appeared to get a little heated, I felt everything was still calm. And then Hexidecimal decided to question some of my recent actions and decided to do a little back-seat moderating. I was annoyed. I've made it clear why I've done some of the things I've done recently.
For example: Cody made a thread saying it was an Xbox One discussion thread. Yet, in his very first post, it was nothing but hate and meme's about the console. No actual discussion. Every post afterwards followed suit. I stepped in saying that Cody should change the topic title, or I will. Stating that the topic wasn't what it said it was. I changed the title, and that's basically that.
Then she questioned why I deleted some posts. Me and Psychospacecow were goofing around talking about a ghost having babies. I, jokingly, said PHOTOSYNTHESIS, OR YOU'RE BANNED. Which Psycho took it as me being serious (even though he knew we were joking before). Long story short, I deleted those posts, because he admitted he was under stress from finals and such. So, it was all a simple misunderstanding.
And then Xannidel kept calling me out in the policies thread saying I was being a smart aleck pointed out that Cody and Cuccos was using the symbol ">" wrong. They were meaning to use it as arrows, but didn't indicate that it was. So, I read it as the greater than symbol. Me, already being very annoyed from everything else, said "Nah, I'll stop when everyone else stops being a baby." Which I admit was bad on my part. And then he kept nagging on and nagging on, just attacking me constantly in that thread.
Me, being completely fed up with everyone actions. Decided to add in a new rule (which later just turned into a re-wording of a previous rule) to stop things from getting way out of hand. To have things way more civil and more in-control on these forums. And when he (Xannidel) broke the rule, by trying to get me all riled up, I gave him a warning. Later, he essentially cries about getting a warning and then says he's leaving. Cody comes in, gets rid of the warning and everything's fine with him again.
