Hi craftlanders,

Some of you might wonder wonder what the heck is wrong with me lately.
But first let me apologice to those who became victume to how i acted.
(Vantacular, zarvon, killgun and those who feel spoken to)

Sorry for all the commotion I caused to you.

As for how the reason:
Well it's a hard for me to explain at the time, yet I hope you guys will know what I mean...
You all may know that I take rules quite serious most of the time, but there are times I didn't mind a thing once in a while.
Yet lately I have been punishing real quick one when I saw one thing, this because of a anger that is deep inside of me.
This anger is something I don't see as quick as i act, after a little time, it will withdraw and i question myself was this the right thing to do.
I don't quite understand where this anger is getting from, but I think it haves two reasons:
1. Is a personal problem I have, which is being depressed of things that are happening or already happend in my live.
2. The lack of respect that players have towards mods/admins, as you see everytime you ban someone, most of them go rage about it, friends keep asking to unban him because "he didn't do anything wrong" and eventualy say you're the worst.

This combined makes me feel abandoned and hated by all, which will cause me to turn angry at some points.

As blobby already told me a few weeks ago:
I should be here if it just angers me more, as I though it wasn't that bad, yet the reality is different.
So therefor on advice of him I will leave for a while, or be online only for a little.

This is all due the resent things that happend on craftland, by banning vantacular twice, zarvon and killgun for things that where off no matter.
I hope I didn't cause you to much trouble...

All I would ask you all is to show some respect to everyone, rules and if you think anything might be wrong, report it.
And for all good will, be patiant, there are more people that need help.

Sorry,

Handyman

Handy,

I was actually going to pm you about this. I feel absolutely no animosity towards you whatsoever. You took it as you saw it - we exploited, and so we should be banned. It makes sense, honestly. I thought about not even posting an appeal, and only did so because I didn't think it was an expoit at the time.

Some players actually openly diss the admins. Most often, I'd say, they say nasty stuff about you. In my opinion, though, you're rarely wrong - in fact, as I said a few days ago in chat - the admins ARE rarely wrong. Some players don't like you because you're quite strict, but isn't that the job of an admin?

I like ALL the current staff. You guys are awesome! Some of the admins don't ban much. Some of them ban a lot. But whoever is innocent is always sorted out in the appeals process, and I always feel confident that the right judgement will be pronounced.

I can't speak for the other players, and I don't know what goes on on the mod forums, but you have my support as an admin. I don't resent you. A lot of the time, the bans are left to you or VepaS, which is fine, but then, of course, you guys get the anger of banned players, and sometimes you're wrong. Just because a load of banned newbies rage at you doesn't mean that everyone, or even the majority of players, don't like you.

All I'm saying is, don't leave because of me, or anyone who is angry at you because you banned them. I respect you as an admin, and believe that as you said yourself a few days ago "Everyone can be wrong sometimes." I think that anyone like Vant, Chedd, etc who is angry at you for banning them should think about it. Exploiting is a bannable offense. We probably would have been unbanned even if it were exploiting; the problem just had to be fixed. The bans were damage control. You were doing your job. It got sorted out. It wasn't like with my previous ban; you (or other admins) didn't act out of anger; all it was was a simple misunderstanding. If you do leave, I just want to make sure that you know that I for one still respect you and believe that you were doing the right thing.

Handy,

I honestly should have 100 reasons to hate you, but I don't. You succeed at doing your admin duties, even if your methods can be a bit aggressive sometimes. Just know what I would never resent you for what you have done to me. You are just doing your job, and I can respect that.

The only reason I may have seemed a bit...angry at you if because I feel you are aiming your anger at me. But, in the long run, you do your job, and most of the time, you do it right.

You shouldn't give a damn about raging newbies. What do they know? You are the admin, not them. They have no say in how you should feel.

And sorry if you feel I am mad at you, but its just that I feel its all aimed at me sometimes. If you truly feel this way sometimes, you can talk to us about it. I'm always here to help, whether you need it or not.

I swear I would never resent you. In fact, I respect how you do things, even if you are strict.

Talk to me anytime,
Ritz (Killgun)

Behave.

Thank you so much for deleting all that. Seriously. I'm not being sarcastic, Handy has never done anything bad to me.
For someone to come here and spew negativity like that is just wrong.

Gotta say, thanks for you all said.
Zarvon, there is nothing going on about me in the mod forum, there was a topic ingame at the mod channel.
But also I still would have to rethink about some things on how to prevent them from happening in the future.

Congratulations on your 700th post. Thanks for clarifying about that, handy.

We all know life has ups and downs.

Thank you so much for your all your help on craftland. You are doing an excellent job.

I wish I could let admins enjoy the game a bit more.
