Well it's good to know that you at least regret it, but I still don't know why you actually wanted to know how others felt? Of course it saddened them, I don't see how you need a poll to confirm that. Everyone appreciates what you do here, you do a fantastic job, please keep it up!

I hope you really understand why it's not okay to put those 2 things into the same poll like that, they are in no way comparable and personally I felt it was really insensitive to do. While both were horrible events in their own a death can never be compared to match fixing and that poll gives a really bad vibe to anyone seeing it.

I'm sure you learned your lesson, thank you for all the contributions so far to this great site, hope you keep doing awesome translations, keeping up the fan club threads and being a good contributor to this site as a whole.

Your contributions are much appreciated on this site by all and sundry, and I for one appreciated the explanation and apology in here. Few face Nazgul's wrath and live to tell the tale, hope you don't cross swords with him again.

you really didn't need to apologize, yeah it was dumb but really we've all done stupid things on TL(have you seen my april fools 2011 blog?), yes you got off easy because you contributed but there's no point thinking of "what if I was just another guy making this poll" it doesn't matter because you are not some ordinary nobody on TL.

>< imo you are taking this a bit too close to heart, it was a bad decision yes, but nothing to really lose sleep over T_T or be overly dramatic about

I too made my big share of terrible posts and I still tend to write stupid stuff when it comes to LR threads. But you shouldnt take this so personal, to me it seems as if you are trying to justify your initial post. Its good to be accountable for your actions but sometimes you just need to reflect on yourself, improve and just have fun. Not sleeping because of a ban is not fun.

Thank you for the explanation. I saw that you had been temp banned but wasn't sure why.

I appreciated your explanation for why you put the poll up and can see what your thought process was.

As bad as the match-fixing scandal was, the death of someone (especially with the tragic circumstances in KTViolet's case) should never be compared to it in any way, shape, or form. It's good you saw your mistake after Nazgul took action on you. I hope though it wasn't just due to the fact that it was Nazgul. Anyways, good to see you're back. Hwaiting!

As someone else said, this isn't something you should take personally or too seriously especially if it wasn't for ill intent. Definitely not something to lose sleep over or think too seriously about.

Man you are sincere as they come. You are 'lawful good' in terms of D&D alignment! Insomnia for 8 days after a 2 day temp! By the way, I thought your poll should have excluded Violet's passing because, well, deaths shouldn't be compared to other things...and they shouldn't be 'rated' against other things for how much they affect people. But for me the most heartbreaking non-death thing in BW history was the abandonment of BW after SC2 came out , Savior's fall was pretty shocking but not as gut-wrenching as everyone abandoning the best RTS in history. And TL filling up with people who didn't even play BW and consider WC3 'old school'.

But in conclusion, people like you are the 'treasures' of an online community. Respectful, thoughtful, contributing a lot. So yeah if I posted that poll I would be permed haha, but a 2 day ban is befitting for someone who genuinely made an error of judgment and apologised in earnest. Definitely shouldn't beat yourself up about it!

It may seem that way but I don't want to justify my post. I just want to clear up any misunderstandings and make sure that if people do judge me for what I did that day, they at least can read about my though process and why I did what I did.

I think the fact that you're displaying this level of sincerity and owning up to it this much shows you're truly sorry. You've clearly learned from your mistake, and you can reinforce that by simply not doing it again. It seems to be more of a personal burden than an effect you've caused on us; don't worry about us It's always nice to see a reflection like this every once in a while though.

Happy holidays, and get some rest. We still love you ♥

Dude.

No one thinks your some horrible trash poster. I know you've racked up 10k posts in the last year or something like that making LRs ect, and you clearly value the community and your activity in it a lot. But if you have been here for 7 years, you should know most people who have been here for awhile have a few warnings/temp bans, and they are imo just a small reality check most of the time, not a "your on the shitlist now motherfucker" kinda thing. (then again ETT was involved :o, maybe watch out)

I was temp banned when slayers won their first gstl for using all caps by Naz. So then i said to myself "oh, well shit, I guess i really shouldn't post like a total moron." And most of the time, i think i avoid doing that.

Just don't go the way of Blasterion with 8k+ posts and never learn not to stop doing something dumb you shouldn't do. (ETT Will find you :p)

Fuck ups helps you improve, you can be damn sure that you wont do the fuck up again, I experienced a similar experience of fucking up and loosing some sleep for it recently, it's a bittersweet reward

Seeker you need to chill out a little and not take things so seriously.
Honestly. It was just a 2 day ban and you did your time, im sure most of TL didn't see your poll until now.
In some respects I think further discussion of your ban and the topics are a bit backwards but maybe that's me.
You didn't have to apologize to anyone, just learn from it, take a mental note, and move on.

Don't take the internet so serious. Shit happens, and that's okay. But you shouldn't sacrifice your well being (sleep) because of one mistake, everyone makes them.

Once, i was on a website's moderating staff. I kept doing stupid shit with friends via my powers and eventually i pissed off my bosses enough to where they fired me. I still learned from the experience, and i still am on good terms with those people. Just cause you made mistakes doesn't mean its the end of the world

Fighting!
OKAY FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE I SEE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
