Tired of Being Trolled

I’m making this topic to conduct an issue involving a group of several people who are obliged to PMU and its rules. Now I hate to use names, but SolarQ, Xewm, and Kysen have all harass me for about a week now. I can offer the tesification of a few people and a screenshot I was able to obtain. Despite this, you will notice the player SolarQ is trying to ‘‘get rid’’ of me off of PMU. Because of this, I feel threatend to leave Chatango. So now I feel I have no choice. Not to mention, he is insulting me, despite the fact it in a rather proper form. To be honest, this is all over a false accusation with no proof that happend nearly a week ago. After pleading innocent, this trio will still not take my word. Sure enough, I’m the prime suspect. Someone please help, its getting worse everyday.

No one harassed you. You yourself brought it all upon yourself, with how you like to drag your drama and problems along with you like a parade. I wouldn’t even say this, despite the fact it’s true, if you weren’t lying to everyone.

I was not trying to get rid of you, nor insult you. Benedict Arnold and Turncoat is clearly another word to name a person who’s betrayed me. If I were to truly troll you, I wouldn’t be here as of right now.I wouldn’t be able to make friends with anyone as I would make dirty-minded jokes and break the rules commonly, however, the only offenses that I’ve taken if I recall was;

Talk of a Platinum ROM
And Multiple Accounts (Back when Lunar was still here)

I have not made other offenses that I recall of, I usually stop or take it to PMs when I’m told to be quiet and drop it. But sometimes, they’re too serious because of what happens consecutively.

If you feel you are being trolled, the best option is to not feed the troll. Don’t speak to it.

If you feel that someone’s trying to draw unnecessary attention, ignore the person and don’t participate in the attention yourself. Don’t speak about it.

If you know you have running conflicts with someone, then addressing the other party with potentially insulting nicknames isn’t exactly the best idea. Don’t spark it.

Although I agree with Sprinko’s opinion on the matter, especially the “Don’t feed the trolls.” factor, I feel something is being overlooked here. I understand that Cynder hasn’t exactly had the greatest past here, but honestly. Who has? Not many, I can certainly guarantee you that. Everyone has encountered that “bump in the road” while enjoying their time in the PMU community – without a doubt. However, just because someone’s had an unpleasant past, it doesn’t mean you should accuse them in the present for what has been done in the past. Let’s take a look here, shall we? (Bear with me that I’m making due with what I’ve been shown. If you feel that this is one-sided, it is not. The last thing I would want to do is take sides.)

In the screenshot provided, I can see a small, compact variety of messages from Solar. Sure, these may not seem like insults from one’s perspective… but what about from another’s?

Sadly, it really seems like what was provided in the screenshot is an insult.

[ul]Messages Directed at the Victim in the screenshot
[li]SolarQ: Get out of here, Turncoat.[/li]> [li]SolarQ: Actually, Cynder’s worse.[/li]> [li]SolarQ: Why don’t you read a dictonary, Miss Benedict Arnold?[/ul][/li]

Let’s take a look at the array of possible rules that are being infringed here, shall we?

  • [li]Choose words carefully when chatting, so as not to offend others.[/li]> [li]Don’t say things that will enrage or offend other players, or otherwise cause disorder, simply, don’t troll.[/li]> [li]Do not threaten, insult, or otherwise make fun of other players.[/li]> [li]Performing obscene or abusive speech, expressions depictions or actions.

Now, I don’t know what was going on before this exchange between Solar, Cynder and Kura, but as stated previously, I’m making due with what I’ve been shown. From my perspective, “Get out of here, Turncoat.”, would be considered “name-calling”. I don’t know if anyone has been told to “Get out.” before, but I can certainly assume being told that… is not something one would feel good about. The statement makes it sound like the chat is in the possession of the speaker, and that the victim is not wanted there. Next up… “Actually, Cynder’s worse.” this seems to be implying happenings from the past, reinstating that the victim has a “bad reputation”, so to speak. From my perspective, that’s rather insulting. Let’s not forget the last one, shall we? “Why don’t you read a dictonary, Miss Benedict Arnold?” More or less, this sounds like the speaker is questioning the victim’s knowledge, which can be viewed as an insult from a first or third person point of view. All of these statements infringe the above three rules listed in some form or another.

While also reading this thread, I noticed this post here…

I don’t quite know what to say about this, but needless to say, if I were in the victim’s shoes, so to speak, I would feel rather insulted. Once again, it basically brings back the accusation that the actions done in the victim’s past are to be assumed to occur in the present.

Well, there’s my two cents. Before taking any further action, I’d like to see if the speaker and/or victim have any response to this. Prior to that, I will speak with the rest of the staff and decide on further action/punishment accordingly.

However, Cynder has told only half the story.

After we started resolving this, she had said a comment to Xewm, I unfortunately couldn’t screenshot it fastly enough due to Xewm deleting the message

“Sheesh, no wonder Jessie broke up with you…”

Those words inflamed Xewm inside, so he deleted it.

Turncoat and Miss Benedict Arnold are terms I use for someone who betrayed me, however, it’s not meant to be derogatory.

I told Cynder to get out because she claimed that Ninja was talking trash about me, I suspected that she was to manipulate me again, as she does with some people.

I necessarily DO dislike Cynder for her over-confidence, pride, and how she thinks that she’s right about 90% of the time. In-fact, Cynder has made fun of my previous love failures in relationships (I.E. The Rush incident, Sara, and what she commonly says; Avara.), therefore she’s gotten on a bad standing.

She also had voice clips which she later explained was from Abridged, however, she would make a tiny little edits

Original: “Walking in the sewers, stepping on some rats.”

Editted: “Walking in the sewers, stepping on Cameron.”
“Walking in the sewers, stepping on Quilavas.”

Also, once I get the link to Xewm’s chat, if the history is not cleared, I’ll screenshot something that will prove my innocence.

At this point… it barely matters, since you did end up harming Cynder’s feelings in a way that far crossed the line.
The seriousness of this is far more elevated than most of you would think.

Cynder is completely depressed by this, which -is- a serious problem.

In accordance with the rule of evidence, I will post this.

I would find it best if this problem were to be resolved immediately.

Erm, I am not sure if screenshots are necessary. She may not want others to read what she had written… .-.

The issue is in the process if being handled and closed. No further input is required; this post will be updated later with information.
