The first part is an apology and an explanation of my actions… I won’t ask you to read it; I’m just putting it out there for the record. The topic is mainly the questions at the end.
My Apology:
I’m truly very sorry about … Everything.
I was, and am, a noob. When I wrote that god awful resolution, not unlike many other noobs, I had no idea what I was doing. The difference between me and every other noob, is that my target had members who had done very illegal things in the past (Not to say that the whole region, or even most of its members has, but a region of such … values is sure to attract … less mannered members. Plus, the rules disallows me to mention the real life actions of Nazis in the proposal, not for people to vote based off of them. So my noobish proposal not only met rapidly met quorum, it passed by a large majority. I was experienced enough to know how to keep my proposal as close to the edge, yet still within the rules as possible (Like not banning the Nazi Ideology {Ideological Ban Rule] and not actually mentioning anything in real life, just saying the ‘Nazi Ideology’ without mention of Hitler or Germany or anything like that). I still believe that horrid region deserves a condemnation, just not for the reasons I listed in the proposal.
I totally agree with the rules which the mods enacted after the passing of my proposal, banning condemnations or commendations based solely off of ideology (pretty much an extension of the Ideological Ban rule). And I’m sad that the repeal of my resolution failed, (which was a majority of the WA voting against the rule directly, resulting in the rule being removed).
Finally, as for the comments I made after the passing of my proposal… I cannot fully describe what made me say that stuff. I don’t want to try to make excuses, but to try to help people understand my actions I’ll say this… I was a brand new player only days old, thrust into the middle of one of the largest fights in the NS world I’ve seen. The days of the Nazi Europe debate were angry and violent days! I couldn’t go anywhere in NS without being ridiculed or praised by players for my resolution. By the end of the debate I did know that I had been wrong, and that I shouldn’t have condemned for Ideological reasons. And I also knew the reason I had made this horrid mistake was that I was a noob. But, I guess it was easier for me to claim I had other secret motives, and that this whole thing had been some form of devious plot; than it would have been for me to admit I was a noob, and that is why I made the mistake. In other words, I decided it was better to make myself out to be some cunning man on a mission, than an idiotic noob who didn’t truly understand the SC.
I hope you guys can forgive me, or at least accept my mistake and not hold it against me. I hope I will not be given me too much trouble when I try to make a comeback. I understand I’ve made mistakes in the past and I am admitting that now… But that doesn’t mean I can’t be a contributing member of this community in the future.
My Question:
I feel that the inactivity in C&C’s is because of the great flaws in the current SC resolutions. I think people are just downright annoyed at the SC for such awful resolutions. Mine is by far the most flawed. Thus leading to my question:
I did watch the repeal vote and discussion very closely (I was still hiding in my hole) and at the very end of that thread, comments were made which lead to another fight; a fight which was never resolved. It was centered around this comment. Is this true? And if it is, why can’t we do it?
{I don’t want you to think I’m unwilling to do the work to get this repealed, I’m not. If I thought it had a chance I’d author another repeal myself. But in the end, it might get a few more votes because I (author of the first resolution) wrote it, but it wouldn’t make a big enough difference to get it passed. (In my opinion)}
), I asked in Moderation for it to be moved.
