::::::I don't want to discuss my ban. It's a very long story. [[User:Bawitdaba|Bawitdaba]] ([[User talk:Bawitdaba|talk]]) 17:04, October 19, 2022 (UTC)
:::::::Oh ok, what do you think about the rest of what I just said? Also, sorry if I came off as a bit too harsh. [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 17:08, October 19, 2022 (UTC)
::::::::I think it's terrible what happened to you (and I wish I had been made aware of it sooner). Sounds like it was group cyberbullying. Are you okay now? While I'm not the founder of the wiki (HMfan is), I began to resurrect it after my ban (a blessing in disguise -- now I feel I can be honest to myself as to what I did not like what they did).
::::::::In honesty, my retired alias is Results May Vary (that was my username on the Mario Wiki), and it carries this stigma for me like what other editor usernames from in old communities I was on. I already founded other wikis like Conker Wiki, Triforce Wiki, Spyro Wiki, Wiki of Mana, etc prior to my ban (tho none of them are on Miraheze) & worked with fellow MarioWiki editors on most of them. The most popular was Triforce Wiki, as I was really angry at ZW, on Fandom, passing themselves off as independent & I didn't want it to affect the integrity of Mario Wiki.com and the spirit of being independently hosted. In truth [https://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/58#Remove_Zelda_Wiki_as_an_interwiki_link this] is what got me banned. I decided to be brave & say, "ok this is ridiculous -- ZW, the original founder of NIWA & lying about independence, has been on Fandom for three years & I founded Triforce Wiki three years ago; nobody is standing up to this nonsense. Logically, we can just use the Wikia template to link to them, can we not? What makes them so special over other NIWA wikis?" And low and behold, all the staff members (except the bureaucrats) oppose the proposal, including a few from Nookipedia.
::::::::Unfortunately, in Feb/March, there was someone I cyberbullied on Discord (this is the part I specifically don't want to discuss), and I regret it to this day. A lot of people were rightfully mad at me. It didn't become an issue on MarioWiki until I was trying to address the Zelda issue. Just a few days after I began the proposal that I linked, I was permabanned for some incident that occurred a month & a half ago & was something I really wanted to move on from. On April 24, 2022 (a day that marked the death of Mario Wiki, as I was the last person there to try and restore it to its pre-NIWA days), a sysop banned me for "harassment, hateful conduct and other disturbing behaviors within affiliate communities." Mario Wiki is a member of NIWA, which does not have the ability to admit fault or fix open hypocrisy such as their founder being on Fandom and doing some wild spin that they are independent like Mario Wiki, Bulbapedia, etc. I was already declining in popularity when I bullied someone, and NIWA took advantage of that by posting out-of-context screencaps of me using swears/slurs in 2019 and 2020 over Discord communities to try and sway others to be against me because "yadayada he's [x], [x], [this bad thing], [that bad thing]". Big reason why I had meltdowns is because a lot of the people are just the worst -- they will spin your mind into a frenzy that makes you want to snap, especially when I was alienated and demonized for creating Triforce Wiki. They especially started to spread around screencaps of my worst moments when I made that proposal. They do not care about the person who I bullied (and like I said, I wish I hadn't -- if they bothered me, I should've left Discord entirely). Actually, a MarioWiki staff member was in on it as well and publicly posted dirt on me in the MarioWiki server to tell others why I was a bad guy (cited my "NIWA hateboner").
::::::::So like I said, NIWA does not care about victims of bullying -- they took advantage of the person's misfortune to get me hated by as many people as possible & rally the anger of already-upset people. I gave the Mario Wiki community an ultimatum, "who is going to be? them or me?" and they chose the former. Forgiveness no longer exists as a virtue. (P.S. before you ask, I did discuss all this with the Miraheze stewards before, so they are aware).
::::::::Also, the [[1-Up Mushroom]] sprite at the top-right -- the reason I chose it is because it symbolizes having a second chance. :) [[User:Bawitdaba|Bawitdaba]] ([[User talk:Bawitdaba|talk]]) 17:52, October 19, 2022 (UTC)
