Hello there VGChartz, it's been a fun time posting here these last few months and I'm getting a feel for the kind of people here and I'm hoping you've got to know me a little. I posted my intro thread a while back, (which you can read here), in which I mentioned my hobbies, the types of games I play, a little about me, and a basic though somewhat detailed introduction. I feel it's good to get to know people, (and would be interested to see similar posts from other people about themselves), the better we know each other the more we can get a feel for the tone of each others posts.

As it may be apparent to some people here, I don't have much opportunity for social interaction day to day. Sure I have a decent circle of friends and I actually go out around twice per week but most days I'm stuck in the house and have only myself for company. My disability also means I have many limitations on how I can spend my time and I'm usually in a lot of pain. This means I tend to be a little full on, I'm usually passionate, and I can on occation be a little combative online; often without realising. I'm on a large and varied amount of medication, pain medication especially, and my mood changes quite a lot depending. I suffer with Clinical Depression, Biopolar Disorder and I'm diagnosed as having Higher Functioning Autistic Spectrum Disorder, though I prefer not to use that as an excuse. I'm of the opinion that the line between medical disorder and personality type has been very blurred in recent years. Still, my point is, I'm aware I can be volatile and I want to get a little feedback.

I've made a little over 200 posts here and it's been good for the most part. I've recieved 1 warning and a 1 day ban in that time, though I've already voiced my issues with that as I felt it was an excessive and pedantic enforcing of a rule that is ignored daily in the casual conversations on this forum. It was punishing a casual comment that would be considered mild at best, it didn't even have a swear word in it... hell, I've said worse in other threads on this very forum but that's not the point. In short, I was honestly disappointed with the moderator involved... but he/she (no names, this isn't for shaming, it's just my opinion), did at least respond maturely in PM when I raised my concerns. Anyway, I'm getting side tracked...

I like it here, in 200+ posts I've got out a few ideas, had some interesting conversations and such and I'd like to get your opinions. Do you enjoy my threads? Do you like my post style? Have I upset or offended you? Would you like to ask me any questions? Basically consider this a safe space to air any issues you have with me, I won't take it personally; as well as effectively an AMA (ask me anything). Don't worry about asking something you're not sure I'd want to answer, just ask. If I'd rather not discuss it I'll simply say so. My main reason for doing this is, like I say, my moods change a lot, and if my medication is interrupted I can become quite hostile... I'd rather people know why and realise I'm not meaning to be, and have a place to call me on it, than leave everything bottled up.

So. Thanks for reading. I look forward to your replies.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Hi, I am TornadoCreator. I'm bumping this thread to say simply this, I'm leaving. The moderators on this site have a stick up their fucking arse the size of a redwood and can't seem to handle a basic somewhat heated debate. I'm sick of being refereed like a fucking child. Yet again I have a 3 day ban for simply being frank and honest. There's no way I'm waiting three days to post this so I re-registered. I was hoping the first time was a one-off over-zelous moderator, but no, it's apparently a trend and that's unfortunate.

To all those I had good chats and debates with, especially those in the FFXIII thread; even those I disagreed with: It was nice to talk with you all and I perhaps we'll talk on other sites. Thanks for giving me a little social interaction, especially as I have so little in my life. Drop me a message on Facebook or Backloggery any time, I enjoy talking about games and you all welcomed me here, if you ever fancy a chat I'm just a mouse-click away. It's sad that I must leave but clearly the rules here are not conducive to adults having mature conversations, so it's the way it has to be.

To the moderators. Grow up, there's a reason so many threads here lack any real meat to them... because anything short of a sales prediction, any slight level of passion and you treat us all like children. Your power-trip is truly pathetic and only indicates how unfulfilled and lacking of authority your real lives must be. Your rules are a sad indication of just how thin skinned, and disconnected to the internet as a whole, you really are. Fuck you. I'm out of here. I have better things to do than waste my time here any more.
