I made an official complaint about being compared to a weed in the post I last tagged you in. FANDOM agreed it was in poor taste even if it was meant in jest (which I don't believe it was). FANDOM agreed to talk to Reverb. The next day hundreds of my posts were deleted.

I wouldn't normally bring it up-but it seems very relevant considing te circumstances.

Looking back, I believe I deleted those because they were off-topic to the original topic. I believe I did that in good faith and not because of anything else. I don't really delete posts unless they are off-topic or something else.

@Marc, that is an interesting sequence of events. Hopefully Reverb can confirm his intentions.

@The Dark Marc - Thanks for the extra info. @Reverb frost clearly needs to explain his actions.

@Harrypotterexpert101 - I think the link is fixed and yes it was a discussion with Marc (I was scrolling through his posts trying to assess what all had been deleted). Going back to clean-up off-topic posts several months after the fact doesn't seem to fully explain the situation IMHO.

@Ironyak1 Hopefully this clarifies. Someone had originally deleted that post and all of the contents. I decided that in order to achieve the goal of transparency we should undelete the post but the discussion in the post wasn't really something everyone would want to see (it was very partisan). If you find this wrong I am genuinely sorry and promise not to do something like that again. If you feel that I am just trying to cover something up you can read through the discussion- I have nothing to hide. You can even undelete those replies for everyone to see.

I have read through the thread - old grudges and cloak and dagger nonsense IMO. At some point you all have got to learn to put the past behind you and move forward or your related actions are going to come back and bite you.

Just waiting on @Reverb frost now.

Last year I was suffering from a medical condition that made things worse. My name change to 'Dark' was apt, and I apolagise for some of the things better left unsaid, and being heavy handed where it wasn't always required.

I posted an apology to Seth on his talk page at the time of recovery. I have no designs on becoming a MOD again. Please ignore any moment of insanity where I suggest any differently.

Edit: Just read that thread- yeah- that should never have been undeleted. The MODs at the time deserved an answer as to why I left (even an angry one) I was in a very dark place at the time (clearly), and anyone who knew me at the time would agree that thread is very out of character.

I can't pretend like that part of my time here didn't happen. I agree, it was cloak and dagger nonsense, and it will probably bite me again. I was glad that you gave me the chance to put my actions behind me and become a mod. It already has come back to bite me hahaha As for you @The Dark Marc , I would really like to put our past behind us (it was a bit messy). I apologize for all the stuff that may have happened and I really want to start over. What do you say?

Dave,

I'm more than happy to leave the past where it is and start again.

I don't often agree with your head, but I believe your heart is in the right place.

@The Dark Marc - I frankly am not concerned if you want to be a Mod again or not as there is a community-wide process for making such decisions. I'm sure many of your themed activities from before would actually be quite popular now. However, for better or worse, much of what was learned from the earlier days of Discussions is that a few individuals should not be given such unlimited discretion to determine or limit how many other HP fans may want to express their interests. I'm guessing being a Mod now is generally a much tamer and more routine affair.

Marc you make me sick. Yeah I am saying this out loud because I have had enough of you. You are a grown man, and yet you have harrassed me so many times and not only on Dboard but on other platforms too. And today you made me reveal the one thing that I had always wished people would not see about me. The one thing because of which my real life is hell and I developed a life here, online so as to simply have another shot at life.

I have PTSD. I cannot reveal my trauma coz it is very personal but when I am singled out or back talked on or said things about me that aren't real, or when someone comes on to me with things that I meant only as a sweet gesture, and a lot of other things that Marc has done and still continues to do, I tend to react. And most importantly when it's someone way older than me. Coz yes that's a bloody trigger!

Yes Mr. I knew the very minute your Madam kit Archer account started, that it was you, but I tried to be polite, thought that I could help myself but you kept on pressing my wounds again and again thanks to you, today I stand to reveal my concealed truth.

I was taking constant breaks from FANDOM recently because I was having breakdowns, BECAUSE OF YOU. I have been regular here since day one!

I am not going to reveal anymore details about this than I already have and let this man think that he can get me, coz you cannot. NO! You cannot. You hear that! YOU CANNOT!

But if yak and Dave want me to explain anything more, I think I will because my condition has broken their trust in me.

Now to answer what you all have asked me, why did I delete his posts. A lot of them were deleted way before. Some were quite off topic and him discussing god knows what with certain people, mostly ex-mods and then leaving them open. So I deleted those to hide all the unwanted drama.

I also acted out recently, deleting some of his past posts helped me realise that I was erasing him from my life, when I actually can't, but I thought a few old posts would not be a trouble. But they apparently are. I let the worst part of me take the better part of me. But in my head I wasn't breaking any rule, I was just erasing it, removing it, deleting it. And I did not feel bad then. I felt relaxed. But I do regret it. Never have I ever been questioned on FANDOM about my actions no matter how many staff, senior members, or admins no matter how crooked I have dealt with. No one has ever complained about me coz I never gave anyone the opportunity. I was always contained to make sur that I never have to reveal this. Because after revelation of such truths, people look down upon you as weak, and as if you have no power, no nothing but a piece of angry meat that is better sealed off so that others can do whatever they want, freely without any restrictions! Guess what I managed to live a life on here for years without anyone knowing it and I had PTSD all this time.

There is a lot that I don't reveal here, coz I don't want this man to get the satisfaction that he got me and that it's no one's business to know what happened with me, but that I completely take responsibility of the deletions that I made a couple of days ago while I was facing a break down and I had to do something to take control and I did delete some posts to calm myself down. I apologize for that I can assure you that it will not happen again. I can say that coz it has actually never happened.
