rules review, and inquiry.

I've reviewed the rules of each section of the forum. I've made two observations.

1. Are goodbye threads allowed or not? I've seen some people post good bye threads, yet mine was deleted. An explanation would appreciated.

2. Also, I've yet to see where complaining was against the rules, which leaves me to believe that it is based on the whims of the majority.

Also, I wasn't aware that talking about people I know in real life (speaking the truth at that) was against the rules. I thought that it was ONLY a problem IF I bad mouthed AFF members.

I have also been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I've always tended to be repetitive, and obsessive due to having OCD and ASD. Also, I've atendency to say what is on my mind, and be very blunt about it. I didn't expect to get in trouble for that on an Autism/Asperger site. Not to make an excuse or anything,  but I thought I had a bit more lenience.

You asked for your thread to be deleted, so it was.

Not THAT thread, it was another thread ages ago. I made a good riddance thread, that ended up being deleted without warning.

Considering that that thread was deliberately nasty, I just don't see where the confusion is.  

Also, considering that the mods haven't gone after you and banned you after making up nasty lies about service personell, it's pretty clear that whining complai9ning and lying is not against the rules.

RE: rules review, and inquiry.

Simply put, any actions taken against you have been because of your attitude. To some extent, if enough people complain about what you're doing, then yes, action will be taken.

I have noticed some real improvement since the last time you were talked to about it, though.

RE: rules review, and inquiry.

There is always a lot of discretion and flexibility involved in the rules of any forum.

Sometimes I am not happy about how the rules are applied but I accept that the mods and admins have their own priorities, which may vary from mine at times.

Unnecessary drama is often a good enough reason to delete a thread, and you can't really make and apply objective rules about something like that.

RE: rules review, and inquiry.

I agree that therre are certain rules that must be put in place inorder to decrease, or prevent drama. Whenever I started a thread only to realise drama would be created, I always got a mod to delete it.

As for the lies ConLang is referring to. I'm going to be civil and say this is a misunderstanding. There were no lies, and dishonest posts made on my part. Assumptions, yes, but not lies.

I think you're referring to the comments I made on the random thoughts thread a while back, where I said I wouldn't tip servers due to them having a job, and I don't.

I also went and talked about how these same servers, in my college town, managed to be able to afford trips abroad, cars etc.... therefore, I didn't see the need to tip them. I didn't feel as though it was my responsibility to fund their lavish lifestyles. I've not made up any lies. Living lavishly on a server's salary sounds like a lie, but I know this from pure observation, and eavesdropping. Or maybe it depends on one's definition of lavish. Its lavish compared to what I'm doing, but that isn't the point.

I spoke of not tipping them out of rashness, and a little jealousy to be frank.

RE: rules review, and inquiry.

I dunno? Is implying that members here are racist, bad-mouthing them? From some perspective it may be.
Is clogging up the board with thread after thread of rant and rave impairing the enjoyment of the forum for others? Perhaps.
Should you be given leniency for this? Dunno.
Is the forum set up as a support forum for one person or as a general AS forum for the whole community? Is the fact that someone has AS or OCD or any other condition a green light to irratating or occasionally nasty behaviours? Ought the community  and the staff that police it, meekly accept that a person is in their opinion not doing anything wrong, and therefore above censor when what they are doing is negatively impacting on the board?
All good questions, aren't they?

RE: rules review, and inquiry.

I have the same issue with obsessive thinking so I understand it better than others. I know it can be a bad thing because if you let it leak onto forums, people can think you are attention whoring, going on a witch hunt, bullying people if your rants happen to be about a person that had upset you and you are having a hard time moving on and getting over it. Just from experience I learned this. I try and keep it off the boards now and only rant about it to my online friends and I just try and hold it in. You would think someone with an ASD would understand this too but I guess not since not everyone with ASD has this issue even though it's pretty common for us to have. Or they have better control over it so they hide and not let it leak out in public so they feel the need to bully others because of this issue or make wrong assumptions about them such as them being a bully or an attention ***. I know it can be annoying when someone doesn't move on but I always have to remember how hard I have it too sometimes. I think my first ex may have had clusters of OCD too and it also drove me crazy. When something upset him, he could not shut up about it and only could if I got harsh with him. I know that's not very helpful because it doesn't do any good for me either when someone does it to me. But I just don't know how to handle it either. At least on forums, you have the option to ignore it and not respond.

Not everyone with an ASD is going to understand others about their ASDs. Just something I have also learned on the forums; here, I2, and WP. Even I don't understand either. Sometimes the problems we have have nothing to do with an ASD and it can be a cor morbid condition or something else.

RE: rules review, and inquiry.

I agree Leaguegirl, that just because someone has obsessive thinking doesn't mean they are seeking attention.

Those who choose to believe I'm just out for attention,that's their business.

However, I know I've been hugely misunderstood. I was totally not out for attention. The fact that I was threatened with punishment for this is absolutely annoying (putting it nicely). It may look like I'm seeking attention, or ignoring others. However, that is a far cry from what is actually the case. Honestly, if I wanted attention, I wouldn't bother continuing my old threads like I have been. An attention seeker would start new threads out of nothing. I tried to minimize that by continuing old threads.
Furthermore, I'm not ignoring. I'm just very ingrained in my feelings, and I tend to post IN THE MOMENT. I've made an effort to respond to everyone's help whether they realize it or not.
I get caught up in my temper,and say things in the moment.

With all of. This being said, ill just pm the friends I've made on here. I'm not posting any more of my affairs publicly. I may post positive affairs, with discretion. I like that idea League girl.

I also realized that I don't need to post anything negative. Internet predators are everywhere. By doing this, I opened myself up to people starting troublewith me, and causing a big confusion over nothing. People take advantage of vulnerability by lying on you, and manipulating to get administrators to punish you.  In other words, they target you, whine to the admin, and next thing you know, your threatneed with a ban. This happens when certain people dislike you, or what you say. That's what I just witnessed. So no more sharing for me. This is a lesson to keep my business off of forums.
Let this be a cautionary tale for those of you who read this, and are thinkingof exposing yourself like I did.

I also wouldn't exclude the idea that some members were upset because Gareth offered to help me look for a job, and they saw it unfair; therefore they acted out. I would not put it past them.

This often happens to me in real life, when I get too obsessive, or repetitive. People then take advantage, and choose to make trouble with you. Its a way of the world that I may never understand. Personally, I don't seek to cause trouble with people who do that.

This entire situation has made me rethink about who I choose to share with, where, and how. Both online and real life. Im going to be keeping my affairs to myself from now on.

Lesson learned: life is political. Everywhere I turn, there are always people who will find some problem with me. There are always predators. Drama kings, queens and politicians are everywhere. This is true in real life, and this confirms how true it is on internet communities as well. Online, or offline its all the same.
