Re: The Bulbagarden Conversational Chat Thread Vol 5

I like to try not to look back at stuff I regret doing in the past as things to be ashamed of, but proof of how much I've grown as a person.

Same. Everyone has had his weird days, especially in the beginning. Pondering too much over that is missing the point imo.

Re: The Bulbagarden Conversational Chat Thread Vol 5

I remember my first six months at Bulba.

I really wish I could remove some of the things I posted. Such as almost all of my posts relating to PokeShipping.

I also want to someday look at my first 3 blogs, and make fun of them (one involves PokeShipping, another involves how much I hated CoD and its fandom - the other blog was just a welcome blog, so it's fine) - but the shame is so bad I really do not want to look at them.

Seriously. They're terrible.

I don't look at my first year here. Anything more than six months ago usually makes me cringe.

I checked my first Bulbaversary blog a while ago, thinking about my second... it looks like I was too much of a snob back then!

I only got minor infractions before I was modded in May 2010. I was a good boy!

I like how a few infractions do not mean that you have lost any chance of becoming a mod.

Re: The Bulbagarden Conversational Chat Thread Vol 5

I've only been infracted/warned six or seven times, and banned twice or three times. They were all minor, though, so I don't think my chances of becoming moderator are smaller.

Banned more than once? Well, I definitely haven't gone through such things...

Several of our most decorated staffers and former staffers started out as troublemakers. Bulbagarden has a tendency to rehabilitate its trolls.

Aye that blog is really helpful.

Iirc I got a warning a month or two before becoming a mod.

Re: The Bulbagarden Conversational Chat Thread Vol 5

Well, I think I'm going to do something else now. I like this thread, I should post here more often. And I'm unallowed to go on the computer on Wednesdays (reason: mom and dad divorced before I even knew that divorces were bad, so it's routine).

So, bye!

In a sense, you are old enough for that to be way obsolete. 2009 and 2010 are quite past compared to 2014.

My 14 year-old self versus 19 year-old me…

I should write a letter to my future self now.

My 14-year-old self was different, and I am just 16-17. Dunno what will happen at 19.

Re: The Bulbagarden Conversational Chat Thread Vol 5

I have a somewhat irrational fear of being scolded or being told I am doing something wrong. So my first few months here I was almost robotic. I guess its not a good thing. Its kept me out of trouble though. But I still need to work on it.
