This has been bugging me for some time now. It's been a year.

I am going to say right off the bat that I am RayJ, so you don't think I'm someone else.

Well, we all know the problem here, right? So I won't bother to explain it. But, I will bother to explain a solution for me being banned once again.

I know the mods are sick to their stomachs with me and my new accounts, and I can't blame you. It's annoying the crap out of me too. So then, why haven't we come to the simple solution - unbanning me - and ending that problem? Unbanned or not, I think I will get around to deleting all of my alternate accounts sometime soon.

But, why unban me when we've gone over this a thousand times and I'm just "so annoying"? Yeah, I hold grudges, and yeah, I can act like a shmuck sometimes, but not all the time. I'm not here to flame; never have been, and I'm only here for the fanart and galleries.

I don't want to be enemies with the mods. I want to stay neutral, or in some cases, stay friends. I want to be unbanned. The accounts will be deleted and I will stick to my gallery and my gallery ONLY.

I don't want to continue this rant, but please reply with something more helpful, other than locking the topic or flaming me.

I don't really know what has happened on this site in the past, only that there has been a lot of bad blood. But in the case of my opinion, you're showing a lot of maturity on your part in this post.

Well...I'm not going to lock it...move it to "Other" yes because it's not a rant.

Although I don't agree with making another new account I can see your problem with getting a point across.

To me, this shows lots of maturity and understanding and also saying straight away that you are...well, you instead of just pretending not to be is also good. I have seen your new DeviantART page too and that also is looking good and mature with no unneccasary swears or anything.

I myself would like to unban you and see how you do now that you've show you can be mature and understanding and not pick a fight straight away and see how you do.

Well, you definitely made some efforts when writing this. You may finally have learned the lesson.
I think it's safe to say that we could try again one time. So I will say yes, mods, unban her (at least that will clear up a lot of the banning page ) But, if there's any trouble again, we won't miss the chance to ban you again.

Oh wow, that's a shocker...

Well, first off, I don't think that unbanned users are allowed to delete their accounts, so I'm somewhat stuck here..

Heck, you know I'm all for you being unbanned.

Like other members (you know who you are), I enjoy your art -- and exspecially your comics. I found it a burden myself to have to find you on DA and go through so much more "clicking" (I am, after all, lazy).

You know, of course, that there are mods who have "bad blood" with you, and wouldn't stand for you being unbanned. I could understand why you were upset, but I also saw logic -- you kept getting re-banned because you made multiple accounts, making the ban-time longer. At least, that was the only logic I found (that and you're getting upset and insulting people in the SB).

I, for one, will be sure and welcome you back. You belong here, and wouldn't have tried for so long to get unbanned if you didn't.

I am not going to lie to you, RayJ, I personally would not see you back on the website, out of a few reasons.
I'll allow you back on the website, with a smile on my face, if you can at least take note of a few things and try to avoid it.

First off, you have quite the vocabulary (swear-wise), and I'd rather you didn't use it. This often leads to fights. Which, I might also add, you used to have a lot of before, if I am not mistaken.

Then we have the fact that you used to be very aggressive towards certain members (if I've been correctly informed), so I feel a bit uncomfortable, really, about letting you out again.

However, I am not one to hold a grudge for something which has not happened during my membership, though it would be a bit nice if my first impression changes.

So, if/when you are unbanned, all your accounts, except your RayJ account, will be deleted, and then you are allowed back on the website. I'll be there to welcome you back, but I'm going to keep an eye on you for a small while in the beginning. And no, that's not in a bad way I mean it; I just want to see how it goes for a few days

This is a surprise but I'll state my opinion on this.

RayJ, it seems you have really made a committment to starting over and for that I applaud you. I do hope things can be different this time. You wanna stay neutral well that's a start and a good one at that. Maybe you can easy your way back in again.

I, for one, would like to see your art. I hear it's pretty good.

Whatever happened with you and this site in the past, you want to cleanse yourself from it and I find that really mature and smart. I know that you don't want anymore trouble with the mods, well we don't want that either. It gets old after a while anyway. You've made mistakes, that is true and have said some cruel things but... that sort of thing happens no matter what. You just have to make the effort of not doing it.

As Chrissie said, 'Everyone deserves a Real second chance' which we haven't been giving you. We haven't been hearing you out like we should have and that has made you angry, I'm sure.

I too agree that you should be unbanned, that you have learned your lesson. I hope you have. I also agree with Kirada in saying that you do belong here. You have a right to be here, post your drawings just as anyone else.

I will welcome you back but like Luxury Wolf, I'll be watching just to make sure things go okay. Don't worry, I don't hold grudges either.

A bit harsh, Togo, but you make some good points. This is, after all, the 4th last chance, and we've stretched our patience quite far. Truthfully, your multiple accounts, RayJ, were a nuisance, and a stupid thing to do. If you hadn't made all those accounts, and acted like you did now, in your first post, from the start, you would probably have been unbanned a lot sooner. But all your cussing and flaming didn't help at all; in fact, your messages in the banned box on the normal RayJ account were hidden because of that. We simply couldn't care less by then.

As I am writing this, your multiple accounts are slowly being deleted, one by one. When they are all gone, any remaining bans which we might have forgotten to remove will also disperse, thus leaving you with only your RayJ account left.

As for me, I am willing to allow my doubt to favour you, RayJ, however, I have a program I designed, called a Sentinel, which I've reprogrammed to follow you closely when I can't in person. This behaviour of the program, will literally stalk everything you do on the website which is public (i.e sending art, fiction, articles, talking in the SB, etc.) for a few days, then it will delete the new script by default.

So please behave And welcome back.

I'm glad that you're taking this so maturely, RayJ. In the end, that's all we wanted to see from you. I know some of the mods can delete member accounts without the passwords, but I can't, so if you wanted to speed up the process of getting rid of those extra accounts, you could pm me the passwords for them (if you can remember all the names) and I'll take care of that. ^.^

I think that if you look up "RayJ" in the search, you can get a lot of them, but I don't remember them all. I know there were "lulz" and "pissed" and stuff like that, but I don't remember all of the exact names... eh. I will have to go look them up.

And, let me get something straight - should I stay off the boxes completely or can I go on them? My posts are still blocked so no one can read them.
