First, let me try to answer your questions.
 
You have been warned to stop - repeatedly.
 
You have been receiving warnings from staff about this and related behaviors that are breaking our rules via PMs for 8 months.
 
I even told you flat out that we’re having trouble figuring out how to allow you to continue to use the site given your behavior toward others.
 
If you’ve forgotten about all of those warnings, please re-read the public warning I gave you 20 days ago, which I think laid it out pretty well, and explained what was going to start happening if you didn’t stop attacking other users on the site.
 
I’m pretty sure you saw that, because you replied to me and even posted public apologies about it [>>1890430].
 
So, given all the warnings you’ve received, privately and publicly, why don’t you think you’ve been warned?
 
Or are you expecting us to remind you that you should follow our rules and be considerate of others using the site every single time you start antagonizing other users just because they have different opinions than you?
 
I hope that answers your questions, but if not please do not hesitate to PM me and I’ll be happy to try to help you.
 
Second, you’ve already been banned for the exact same thing just a little over 2 weeks ago. On this site, when you continue to break the same rules, or continue the same behavior that got you banned last time, you get fewer warnings, and longer bans. Eventually - if you don’t stop antagonizing others or threatening other users of the site - your bans will be so long that you’ll go months between being able to post to the site.
 
You seem like a nice person. It would be a shame if you end up permanently banned from the site.
 
But that’s how we deal with users such as yourself who persistently break our rules, are ruining other people’s ability to use and enjoy the site, and who do not change their behavior.
 
So, I hope you will take our MULTIPLE and REPEATED WARNINGS to heart, and will not need to be reminded to take a break if you are so upset that you can’t use the site without antagonizing others.
 
Again - if there’s anything about this that you don’t understand, please PM me. I’ll try to help.

Nosy.
 
Also, when someone sincerely is having trouble, I know that a lot of people feel that making fun of it by posting “Popcorn” images, or by joking about how they’re looking forward to the drama of someone else’s feelings being hurt (even if they otherwise are ostensibly that person’s friend) can relieve stress.
 
But if you really cared about sTs you wouldn’t be making fun of this. This is serious and can have real long-term effects on whether they will be able to continue being a part of this community. Many people with this many warnings are already permanently banned from the site.
 
So - try to be less of an asshole in the middle of someone else’s very serious situation, ok?

Just leave people to their opinions. If someone says they dislike/hate glimmy for anysuch reason, just say to yourself “neat” and move on. Also, if you get into an increasingly sour argument, or increasingly repetitive, just agree to disagree and move on.

I apologize, while I was out of line, I didn’t mean anything malevolent by it
 
I will try to be more helpful if I can
 
@sTs  
again, it’s not really about starting drama. It’s really about following the rules  
before you make a post, ask yourself “does this post violate any rules”

Just bail if it starts to get out of control, and report people who start breaking the rules. It’s fine unless it breaks the rules, and mods are usually nice enough to give you a warning when it is time to stop.

I agree that you have trouble telling if you’re involved in drama or not.
 
In every instance that I can see, before you started breaking rules you’ve talked about how upset you or others were.
 
Can you let that be your warning that “Something is happening that I can’t judge, so I’d better back off”?
 
Another warning sign seems to be when you say things like And some random person just end up disagreeing with [me]. Random people disagreeing with you is 100% ok on this site, and given the size of our user base you should expect someone to always have a different opinion. Now, tomorrow, or 2 years from now, someone will disagree with you.
 
You have been so hyper-vigilant about Starlight Glimmer “Haters”, however, that you have been perceiving threats and attacks even when people aren’t even talking about her, on images that have nothing to do with her.
 
And you’ve gotten a little better about that, but now you appear to be hyper-vigilant about drama, and you seem to perceive drama where it doesn’t exist - until you start trying to control or limit what others are saying, or start telling others to leave the conversation. Then there’s lots of drama, but the drama is all about you.
 
So, if I may, your approach to the site appears to be a bit both angry, and at the same time fragile. And I think it’s because you have a very hyper-vigilant approach to things.
 
In other words, maybe you should just relax.
 
That’s why keep suggesting that you instead focus on fun, rather than drama.
 
If you aren’t having fun in a thread, then leave the thread. Because if you wait until you sense “drama” then there’s a good chance (given your past behavior) that you’ll be the person creating the drama, and the drama will all be about you.
 
So - try letting “Am I having fun” be the question you ask. If the answer is “No”, then go do something that is fun for awhile. And come back to the site when you can enjoy yourself.
 
Because being vigilant here all the time, monitoring conversations, making sure that drama isn’t breaking out, watching for “haters” - after months of that kind of approach to the site, it’s going to really suck for you and everyone around you.
 
And that’s where we are.
 
So please look for fun, not drama. Look for happiness and joy, not haters and trouble.

@sTs
 
Trying to guess what other people’s motivations are, is a great example of a warning sign that you need to take this @nerfherder advice and consider that you are over-thinking things.
 
Relax.
 
Your vigilance is probably the thing that gets you into the most trouble. You are too often trying to control situations that aren’t out of control, and that you can never ever “control”. That’s why your latest ban reason included your tendency to tell others what they should be doing - ironically, that happens most often when you yourself are the problem.
 
So relax.
 
As hard as that may be for you to do - relax.
 
If that means taking a break from the site, do it.
 
Because right now you appear to be addicted to drama, creating it where it doesn’t exist, and then spending the next few hours massively apologizing or explaining that it’s everyone else’s fault for not disagreeing with you.
 
It’s a common cycle, and believe me - the sooner you resolve whatever is causing that cycle of behavior the better off you will be. You’ve talked about some of the things that happened in your life that you believe are causing this, and they’re the kind of things that are relatively easy to resolve when you’re a teen, harder to resolve when you’re a tween, and almost impossible to change once you hit 30. So, the sooner you get those things resolved the better your life will be. And, yes: I’m talking about therapy or counseling.
 
Right now, my main concern is that using this site doesn’t seem to be fun for you, and you seem to be making the site a lot less fun for others as well.
 
So, please try focusing on fun.
 
Your historical focus on looking for, and trying to control, what you perceive to be drama or hate on the site is just not working.
 
So maybe just set that aside and focus on having fun. What’s the worse that could happen?

Which is why I left that EqG thread because no one seems to even want to show an interest to my favorite character, and I had to stick with the ones who DO show an interest, and on top of that: I’m not dealing with that thread anyway.

You don’t need to understand every bit of the rules. And you don’t need to have all of the rules in your head all of the time.
 
Just have fun. If you feel that there’s some drama going on, or someone is being a “hater”, leave. Close the site and go do something else. It seems that you perceiving drama or hatred is a warning sign that you’re misreading the situation.
 
So just look at the simplest possible interpretation of the rules:
 
MLP:FiM is about sharing, friendship, and understanding. Don’t drag the site down into flamewars and angst – keep it constructive and positive.
 
That’s the only rule you really need for most of what happens here.
