07:41:38 PM <FluffyInDrag> diphylla: If me saying you don't seem to understand how things work here is "arguing" then I guess the sky isn't blue because that would be arguing with people who say it is bronze.
07:41:48 PM <dxd> FluffyInDrag: you don't understand how things work here
07:41:53 PM <diphylla> Lol
07:41:57 PM <dxd> you do not fictate to a volunteer what policy is
07:41:59 PM <FluffyInDrag> dxd: NOBODY ASKED YOU PATRICE
07:42:06 PM ** FluffyInDrag has been made a member of BANNED by dxd *
07:42:06 PM *** You have been kicked by dxd * not privileged
-dary.
Edit: 2 hours later I have not received a notification about the reasons for my ban nor the duration. He had time to talk shit about me for several minutes afterward but apparently not enough time to do his actual job.
This might have something to do with there being no good reason and the duration being only as long as Dom gets away with it. I think it's about time I had a little chitchat with his superiors.
Edit: Over a day later, still no notification.
Update: I finally received a note from dxd regarding my ban. He said "we" (who?) have decided that I no longer belong in devart. Hahaha... HAHAHA.

dxd said the following:
Hi Fluffy, this note is a follow up on your ban from #devart the other day.
After some discussion, we have decided that your ban will be indefinite. Over the years you have consistently displayed a negative attitude towards other members of the chat community and proved to be very hostile towards volunteers and staff members. You've had many warnings and bans, but your behaviour has not changed and we are no longer interested in having you be a member of #devart.
------------------------------------
You know, it would be one thing if you actually enforced this stuff with any amount of consistency, but there have repeatedly been other users who have been far more destructive than my mild mischief has been. I have told CVs and $taff about the issues with those users multiple times and nothing has been done. For example, I suppose JoeBostonPhotography will not be permanently banned or in any way punished for spamming the chat for hours on end and seriously harassing other users?
I cannot respect the rules and the enforcers when that sort of nonsense happens ALL. THE. TIME. If it appeared there was even a modicum of effort being made to truly deal with those problems then maybe I wouldn't be so critical of you and the volunteers, but the simple fact is that under your "guidance" the chat community has run amok with things that, before, would not have been tolerated at all. The volunteers are poorly-selected and ill-prepared, when they are present at all, and you would sooner ban those who give criticism by claiming it is "antagonizing" than to take advice and suggestions. You are childish and incompetent and I am incredibly sorry for the chat community that they have to deal with your absentee parenting.
------------------------------------
Now, I would not normally ask for this but I'm about fed up...
A handful of users, along with dxd, have apparently somehow convinced the powers that be that I am some sort of horrible monster that ruins all the things when it comes to the chat. I would like, if you could, for those of you who disagree with that sentiment to comment here with something to vouch for me.
Additionally...
I am putting together a formal complaint against dxd and several users, as well as a general complaint about the state of chat moderation, and will be sending it directly to the $taff members that are probably not fuckwits. If you have anything to contribute to that, be it evidence of abuse or suggestions for improvement, please note me and let me know. I will be posting another journal about it sometime next week.
Enough is enough.

Well, I'm still alive.
On a nostalgic whim I logged into this account for the first time in a while. My feelings about my time in this community are very mixed. On the one hand, I was subjected to some really horrific bullying and general mistreatment for something as basic as being "annoying." On the other hand, I met a few really great people here. Not the least of whom is my partner @Fanaidh-Balaichean who I've known for nearly 15 years now having originally become friends via the #devart chat. I'm still a baker, I work hard and make simple, beautiful things for people to eat with quite a lot of pride in my craft. For all the other ups and downs, I do love my work. Most of my internet socializing is done on Discord or Twitch these days, and I suppose my general behaviors around that haven't changed much. I'm interested to see if anyone on here finds this journal, and in doing so maybe finds me elsewhere. I have encountered a few deviants in the wild over the years. @ffleret, my old tabpwn buddy, is in

i dont know who any of you people are anymore lul?
A belated DeviantArtist Questionairre
1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?
10+ years on this account, I had a previous account for about three years before that.
2. What does your username mean?
I had a couple of things. First, my group of friends was very into Harry Potter and we had nicknamed ourselves after the Marauder generation characters, and referred to each other as our "animagus names" as did the characters in the books. Moony, Padfoot, Prongs, Wormtail, etc. My character was Lucius Malfoy, I very much looked the part being goth and having long pale blonde hair, but his animagus form, if he had one, was not shown in the books. I had (and still have) a tiny,
well
Now with both of the apparently incompetent staff members gone who were in charge of the help desk throughout my harassment in the chats, do you think someone will finally address the ticket that has been sitting in someone's mail for over a year?

Rarely do I see anyone do anything about anything. Some fucker came in a couple days ago and spammed the chat for at least 30 minutes to an hour (I ignored them shortly after witnessing said spam). People were there. People didn't do anything.
Why have power and be in a room, if you're not going to even do your job? Want to only be in there without the responsibility, get an alt.
