Anger, fear and depression · 5:40pm May 2nd, 2016

Can I stop being unintentionally controversial for just 5 minutes?

I mean look at what had happened in the last days:

1. Despite being in the popular stories for a moment "House of Wubs" is now one of my least favored stories (7-3 before, now 6-4). And the main reason for this is because the mods took me one vote from it because I did an infringement (I didn't even know that could happened). They explained me the reasons, they are justifiable and I agree with them... but I don't know how I break the rules because I don't recall doing any of the penalties (and honestly I'm afraid to know, there are things humanity mustn't know).
(Edit: the mods have spoken to me, it was all a misunderstanding and apparently you can change your votes... Am I so naïve or what?)

2. This comment posted on "My Soul to Take":

I felt like the story itself never let me feel for the comedy itself. Plus the Pinkie is Tirek line got used far too much, writing a comedy story you need to have room to breath in, seeing how this isn't being shown to the people it has to be different form of comedy. It just the line after line and it just felt like there was only one joke in the whole story that you just re-used over and over again.

I'm not mad with him, in fact I think comments like this one help me improve and I add one of his stories to my personal collection. The problem is that this was posted one day before the new episode of the series. And guess what? These are the exact same thoughts I can say about No Second Prances (which is by the way the worst episode of the ongoing season) and because of this I took this comment so personal. I still want to believe this was a coincidence but no, it can't be coincidence.

3. Scribbler's pet dog Suki passed away. I'm sorry for her loss and I hope she gets better.

4. My future as a person myself, I'm too afraid and too depressed of it. What will you do when I'm gone? What will they do when I'm gone? What will Earth do when I'm gone? Why am I so afraid of change? Why I can't just believe my tomorrow will be better?


Normally this is the part when I posted some images related to my next story and you tried to guess it but now I want to try something different. I'll instead give you the concept this time:

It's a superhero parody.

I know it's very anticlimatic but I'm not in the mood right now and if we add that I don't really know how to promote this one and that I'm not interested in it now as when I wrote it...

Clarify this for me. What did you do and who punished you with a vote?

I posted the incident a few days ago and Professor Plum answered me exactly this:

When a user creates multiple accounts to artificially inflate their stats (follower count, likes on stories, etc.) or negatively impact others (downvote spam, block evasion, etc.)

I don't have an extra account, I favored the fics of others (except mine and I only remember downvoting 5 stories in the entire time I have here) and the only time I blocked someone is when it insulted me. As I said before I agree with the penalties but I don't know what did I do wrong.

If you did, there was a misunderstanding.

The case I was referring to was when a user simply loses a like or dislike.

If a story loses a like while gaining a dislike (or vice versa), it's almost certainly just one person changing their vote.

No member of staff has changed anything regarding your story ratings.

Sorry for the confusion.

Disliked a story, they can click the like button. This changes their vote.
