If you haven't been keeping up with the roleplaying fourms lately, you should probably stop reading right now, since this is probably not going to make much sense to you.

So if you've seen me for the last two days you probably know that I was busy on Roleplaying fourms. I enjoy roleplaying for the most part, I find being creative like that to be very quite fun. But recently on one fourm, I've experienced a lot of frustration and annoynce from unreasonable and close minded people.

It all started last night on this one fourm that I had played a lot on. We were all in one big fight (in the game), so I decided that I would introduce something to spice the story up a little, a magical Circlet. I had wrote a good amount of comments about the circlet, what it could do, etc. Then I woke up this morning and checked on the fourm, I found that someone had told me that it was "against the rules" of this fourm to add magical items and that all of my comments about it were deleted. Naturally, I was upset about this. That comments I had worked on to come up with last night were all gone. I then tried to defend myself, I stated how what I added didn't hurt the story at all, and if anything could've actually made it more interesting. But they acted unreasonable, rude, and condescending. So eventually, so I want out for a couple hours, only to return and find out that they killed my character off. All because I didn't just roll over and actually tried to defend myself from this whole ordeal.

And to be honest, I'm very angry about this whole situation. Most of my anger isn't even from my idea not being allowed (though that is some of it) it's more how they all reacted to it. Instead of being calm and logical, they were acting like a bunch of whiny children about it. I know someone could say "Zipper, the rules stated you couldn't do that" though that may be true, things on Wikia are supposed to belong to the community. Not just some supreme user who gets to completely decided what the rules are. My point is that these roleplaying fourms are made so that everyone can contribute to the story, and it shouldn't be so limited. I understand if they had a problem if someone had this weapon that they used all the time which was completely overpowered. But that was not the intention of the Cirlcet, it was simply supposed to be a Talisman that could be used in order to defeat the Ogres (made up creatures from the game). I obviously wasen't going to use it all the time and make the whole thing ridiculously easy. I tried to explain this to them, but they refused to change their mind about it and killed off my character after I questioned them about their decision.

This is not the first time in these past two days that I've had something like this happen. It's taken some effort not to respond to these people when they do stuff like this, because I didn't want something like this to happen. But I decided to do it anyway, and the exact thing happened. So I'm not going to be a nice guy about it anymore. And if any of you involved are reading this, please feel free to explain yourself in the comments. I'm willing to disscuss this issue in further detail.
