User blog:Cynical04TR/a honest complaint about the wiki

now, i can already feel that I will be mocked for this post and this will be made into a copypasta. quite frankly, i'd be quite flattered if that actually happened. but anyways.

My complaint is how a select group of users can make or break ones reputation, i know that quite well, both because i myself was a part of that group was and because the same thing eventually happened to me. I used to engage in some bullshit group that I've founded. I basically used it to go on "witchhunts" against the so called "noobs". Some well-known popular users were members of my group and at the time, i saw it as a force for good, a vigilante justice group. But what i failed to realise was, I was basically using my fame and popularity to bully other users, most of whom were just a simple nuisance and weren't harming the wiki in any way. I could've just ignored them, but instead, i carried on. I deeply regret the shitfest that was the "cynical army" and i wholeheartedly apologise for all the things i did. Understandably, this broke my reputation. And at the time, I deserved it to be honest. Later on, I tried becoming a more well-liked individual, and it had initially worked. However, one user asked me if i wanted to bring back the army, and i regrettably approved of it. This time however, I never used it for malintent and it was just some shitpost group that i used to go on voice chats with my friends and shit. However, the very same user who suggested bringing it back started using it to propagate against me without me knowing, and out of nowhere, my reputation started failing. It all came to a breaking point when i was thrown into a pyramid scheme and i tried inviting other people to it. After it was found out that it was just a scam, I was the one blamed even trough I did not know that It was a scam. I was being used as a middleman. This was the last straw and i started being disliked. At the same time, some other users who were well-liked started being disliked, most of whom I knew for some time. While i've initially thought that they just changed, However soon enough, i realised that they didnt change. It was because some high-profile users did not like them and eventually, it turned into a domino effect and their reputation was ruined.

Now, if you were involved in this and you have a different memory of what happened, I can see why as I myselg am a bit biased and I don't remember it very clearly myself. But anyways.

People should be judged independently, and not according to the thoughts of some well-liked users. Keep in mind, this is just my opinion, if you disagree, do not go apeshit and discuss it with me in a civil manner.
