TV Tropes' Dethroning Moment of Suck.
14 years ago
General
Have you had your daily dose of brick to the face, today?
A couple of months ago, I was on TV Tropes, doing what any Troper does on it, when I got hit with a bunch of reports saying I was contributing "natter". I know I wasn't, and I was getting sick of the reports, so I went to complain, only to get everyone and their mother on the report board saying essentially "Get out until you can learn the rules", and ended up getting banned when I protested their treatment. Now, I just recently tried to get myself unbanned, thinking the amount of time that had passed had cooled down the situation enough for it to be solved amicably. WRONG; turns out, the mods are just as snobbish and trollish as before, and are steadfastly refusing to unban me, for any reason only known to them.
This is right off my getting bitched out of TWO Yu-Gi-Oh boards because I dared to state my position on an upcoming deck that no one wanted to hear, and ended up retaliating when they started getting snarky and abusive with me. As someone highly sensitive to that kind of verbal berratement, this isn't doing anything to my self-esteem, and is just pushing me further and further into the background.
I've already had a nervous breakdown over the drama of the Furry Fandom, and I had several anxiety attacks over the incidents with the Yu-Gi-Oh boards, so I don't want to get hurt, again, and I know some people will say I'm being a pussy and should man up, and I really don't like using this an excuse, but I've got some severe emotional and mental problems that make me way too sensitive to negativity and verbal abuse.
Interestingly enough, whenever I WAS able to fight against this shit, the mods ended up seeing that I WAS the victim of the trolls, and while my responses weren't exactly the best, they were certainly justified given the circumstances, so I KNOW I'm not doing anything wrong rather than going overboard trying to defend myself from the trolls, but I don't know why I'm becoming such a goddamn magnet for these assholes and pinheads. Really, why are people on the internet so calloused, cold, and self-righteous toward others?

OP
I don't remember. I know I was posting some examples to a few trope articles, and then BOOM! I get hit with natter reports left and right, from the same guy. I go in to complain about it, being civil about it, and then I get a bunch of jackasses telling me to "get out until I learn the rules", and I get threatened by the same mod who sent me the warnings with a banning. That set me off, so bam, the ban happened. That was four months ago. I come back to ask if I could get unbanned, the same jackass decides to start up with me again, and when I ask for someone else to handle it, he blocks me from the forums. Even worse, the TV Tropes must be full of assholes, as well, so secure in their solidarity, because the other mods instantly agreed with him without even bothering to hear my point.
