A: Every FST member that was here when Community Reps were first introduced will be able to count on the fingers of one foot those who have since needed to divvy out invites to retain Community Rep status. CRs are not required to do so. That is not why the CR member group was introduced.
B: You can do whatever you like on your site and although I don't know the exact reason for you being DPed, boasting about disabling accounts didn't help matters. We are concerned with how CRs use the status here - IP harvesting is a no-no, for instance. FST doesn't want cheaters in the BT community (we will DP any that we discover here) and CR help in discovering them is most welcome.
I don't know the full facts of C but that's almost the flimsiest excuse I've heard. I doubt it's the case.

Talk to Skizo, RealitY too, and iron out any rough spots you can see between you.

You see, I "DID" talk to both skizo and reality last night, which is how I obtained the facts I expressed above. I was asked multiple times when I asked why I was first demoted, "Why didn't you open a thread up and hand out invites? You could have even set your own rules for qualifying". I was told, that in order for me to gain my privileges back, I would have to make a deal with FST, mainly on the lines of offering invites every month to users, in order to be a Community Rep. Now, you said above that this was never a requirement. If that is true, why is it being forced upon me? Seems to me, In order to be a community rep here, FST must "gain" something. Where I come from, we're raised to give, rather than take. Perhaps if you guys hadn't disabled me after a "week" of activity I might have been a bit more inclined to do something out of the ordinary here.

Regarding B, consider my boasting a warning. I suppose I should have been more on the lines of "oh damn, could not catch you. Have fun!" and allowed more and more users to suffer the consiquences. The thing about myself is, I like to help people without making it obvious. But thanks. BTW, not sure how I would be "IP harvesting" unless I somehow had super secret staff privileges here that I was unaware of. BTW, for everyones information, I was never the one gathering information. So those of you boasting in the invite thread about "brandon got disabled, he cant do anything now LOL", don't be so sure of yourselves. Wait, was that another under the table warning? my bad :(

Regarding C, I was told straight up about that part. I'd love to past logs, but I'm not that sleezy, and I do still have respect for the two individuals that told me (staff members here, so I trust they wouldn't lie). In fact, I also know patriot asked these people from this certain site to leave this site in an upper thread. I'm sure you can see that thread Chewie ;)

Finally, I have absolutely no problem being helpful to "users" here. From what I can tell, there are some good people on this forum. It's unfortunate the staff here aren't as kind to the staff from other sites who aren't trading and abusing, but I can see you guys are ambitious so I'm not too surprised. If I had known in the beginning that I was being bribed, or having to buy the respect of staff here I never would have become active at all.

BTW, Skizo, you earned my respect last night. Just thought you should know.

wow, i didn't expect my thread will grow like that when i opend it :shutup:

It sounds like a disgusting story, no matter, which side's right.

What a mess. Hope it works out for all parties involved and friends stay friends and so on. Now Kimii is disabled too? Jeez....

Wow, that's a sick story. I'm saddened by what FST has become. It has been taken over by complete and utter censorship. I started a thread the other day about something I noticed on the site, and a few hours later it wad deleted. It was completely benign , there was no cause for deletion except that I proposed a distrust between FST members.

I'm very sorry that you're being treated this way Brandon, you don't deserve it. You have been one of the most friendly and polite members that I have ever seen here at FST. And in regards to you publicizing disabled accounts, it is helping members retain their accounts by demonstrating the unlikelihood that they will succeed. Besides, it's not like it's unjust. They know that they're breaking the rules and should be prepared to live with the consequences.

Now I dont know the whole story behind you losing your privileges here but I for one dont think you should be forced to offer invites to retain your CR status. Being helpful towards members here and acting "to bring communities together" as it says on the Community Rep fineprint should be enough. Thats all I have to say about this soap opera.
