I tried sending this message to Ratty but he can't receive messages:
 

Hey Ratty, Rainb0w Dashie here. 
 
If you don't remember me, I got banned in 2012 for ranting about some of the users on the server because I was upset about really bad lag. 
 
I was just wondering. Could we talk about my banishment? I know you told me I'd never be unbanned, but I'm somehow hoping that two years would be enough for you to have cooled down and maybe we could talk about it like adults. 
 
What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb, but I think it's been long enough and I would really like a chance to talk about what I could do to become a member of the brohoof community again.
 
I hope you aren't still mad at me, because I really am sorry. But ultimately it's up to you to decide if you even want to respond to this message or not. But I at least hope we can come to some kind of middle ground.

For those who are unaware why I'm banned. I made a rant back in 2012 and said some really stupid things, got banned, and went around reddit trying to blow off steam by making digs at the server.

 

This isn't so much as an appeal to be unbanned as mush as it is an appeal to just talk things out, maybe find some middle ground that would maybe someday lead to me being allowed back on the server. I'm older now, wiser now, and I even have better equipment now so I no longer have to worry about the lag! (that was a joke). 

 

Anyway, like my failed PM to ratty said, I was just wondering if we could have a level-headed discussion about my banishment. I really am sorry and just want a chance to prove it. 

 

sincerely, 

 

Rainb0w Dashie

We have always been willing to talk like adults. You were the one acting like a child. You weren't upset about lag, you were upset that you didn't get expert technical support from randomly asking in Minecraft chat, at which point you proceeded to insult us here, on your blog, and on Reddit. Let me just quote one of the Reddit responses to your many attempts to slander our server:
 

I'm fairly distanced from this community. I rarely have one-on-one interaction with the people here, and I tend not to remember names. Despite this, Rainb0wDashie is a name I've remembered for months. You stand out, and not in a good way.
You seem to have a heavy persecution complex. Many of your posts are oozing with negativity, and it's not earning you any friends. I had a similar attitude for much of my younger life, and what little attention and sympathy I got wasn't worth it. Please examine how you react to difficulties online and in life, and find some happiness with a change in attitude.
Take care.


I'm not opposed to an unban if you show you've changed, but so far I'm not seeing it.

By talk like adults I was more or less saying I was ready to talk like an adult.
 
This is in no way a justification for what I did, more so a glimpse into my internet history, but early 2012 to late 2013 was a very bad time for me. I caught my first dose of intense negative criticism after submitting my first fanfic to EqD. I didn't take the rejection very well and, you guess it, wrote a rant about it. Then it got picked up by this pony IRC who made fun of me constantly. Instead of brushing it off, or examining ehat they were saying for any valid criticism, I just got angry. I was angry for almost 2 years, and in that time span I ruined my reputation in three different communities (Google+, MLP Reddits, and Brohoof). 
 
My point in saying this is somewhere along the line I finally realized that causing drama wasn't going to get me anywhere, especially now that I'm trying to make a name for myself in the fandom. I know now that if I acted that way now the outer fandom would crucify me. 
 
I'm starting to ramble, but I hope you've gotten my point. 
 
But this all leads me to my current predicament, as explained by your last statement: 
 

I'm not opposed to an unban if you show you've changed, but so far I'm not seeing it. 


I want nothing more to show you guys that I have changed, that I have seen the errors of my ways; I just don't know how to do it. I tried explaining what I meant back in my last appeal but I think I worded it wrong. Basically, I think it's really hard to show that I'm sorry over a ban appeal. You guys probably see hundreds of ban appeals a day from kids who went around destroying the server and are suddenly begging to be unbanned, saying it was their brother, saying they'll never do it again, or just being angry. After a while I'm sure there's a disconnect that happens when they just seem like a nuisance and it's just easier to cast them away, especially if you see hundreds of them a day.

 

So my question is: What can I do to prove that I've turned a new leaf and can become a valued member of the brohoof community again?  Is there anything you guys can think of? Maybe a public apology or a trial- unban to see how I interact with the community? 

 

I'm asking you guys because I don't know what I could do to prove this. Being on the banned side it's hard to see over the fence and I don't really know what I could do. 

 

Let me know what you think, 

 

Rainb0w Dashie.

ohmigosh, really? 

 

I don't know what to say. Well, I do know what to say: thank you!

 

But what I mean is, this was really unexpected. Is there anyway I can make it up to you guys?
