User:Sharkbate

I would like to explain everything that has happened involving me, Wikia, and my demotion.

First, Tux and I were talking in a private chat about ways to attract Wikia users to the new wiki. He told me what things he could and could not do, so we made a plan for a merge. Yes, it was very stupid of us, mostly me, not to consult the other CPWN staff members, but at the time, I was not thinking. I am not going to blame Tux for all of this. The fact is, the merge was partially his responsibility as he was negotiating with the admins on a separate chat, but I was the one who made the blog. Because of this, most, but not all of the blame should be placed on me. Afterwards, I talked with Seahorseruler who told me I should have consulted him and the other staff first but told me he wasn't angry and he was fine with it.

Not long after the post is made, a certain user on Wikia (who, at this moment, shall remain nameless) began to get very angry with me. He hated the idea of the merge. He was extremely upset. He made several tweets on Twitter that were bashing me, CPWN, and it's staff. He even went as far as contacting Wikia. This is when things really began going downhill. Wikia blocked me site-wide forever. This made it so I could not keep in contact with the other users on Wikia who I talked with daily. To bypass the block, I made another user there and went onto chat. Everything was all fine and dandy until that one user comes on and starts flipping out. He begins to tweet things like "REVENGE" and "SHARK RUINED CPW". This is when the rumours began.

Little stories about me began to surface on Wikia. Let me assure you that these stories are false. One of the most popular of these stories was that I was going to block any user from Wikia who moved to CPWN. Another one is that I swore at a bunch of users on the Wikia chat. Yeah, that's also false. After this, I left the chat for a bit before coming back on as a new user, JackXnJazel. This time, I came on because some Wikia users were giving me word that the users were bashing me and the network and that more rumours were swarming around. I stayed on there for maybe a week. I sat and watched all that was said about me and CPWN. It was rude, disrespectful, and unkind. Eventually, I admitted I was was JackXnJazel. The last comment made about me before I said who I was just happened to be "Shark is an idiot". In response, I went onto IRC and said that they were noobs. Many Wikia users who were on IRC misinterpreted what I had said. They thought I meant every single one of them were noobs. One of my Wikia friends, Commander Bsyew thought the same. I tried to explain but nobody would listen. This is when the users began to complain to other staff, notably Seahorseruler.

Commander Bsyew finally understood me and forgave me right away. This same day, I find out the rumours from Wikia had leaked there way onto the network with users complaining to Seahorseruler that I threatened to block them and I swore heavily at them. Again, I'd like to make it clear that these were false. When these began to surface on the network, those revenge tweets by that certain someone were deleted for some odd reason. Shortly after the Wikia raid with complaints, I was demoted. Reason? Abuse and misbehaving. I talked with Seahorseruler and he said I was demoted per staff vote after several complaints of me threatening to abuse my rights and globally block all users who moved. This rumour spread like wildfire with many users changing their thoughts about me. My attitude changed heavily during these days because of all of the commotion as well as some reasons I shall keep private at this time.

I tried my best to explain to Seahorseruler what happened but it was like he wasn't listening and when other users would message him to defend me, he would leak my negatives. He told me to talk with the other staff, so I did. I talked with Tiger but he wouldn't listen to a word I said. He kept saying to me "Blame Tux" but I was not blaming Tux because Tux had nothing to do with the rumours or complaints. I talked to Happyface and he gave me mixed messages about what he thought about me. Error and Hat Pop understood what had happened and is willing to give me another chance. Tux never really gave his opinion, so I am not sure.

Reponse to ShrimpPin's Question on Wikia Chat

I needed proof that those stories involving me were lies. Sdgsgfs (Wolfgangs), Commander Bsyew, and ShrimpPin were my only hopes for proof. They were at the Wikia chat most of the times I was. Sdgsgfs told me he agrees the demotion was unfair and that the stories were false. He knows they were false. I never ever threatened to block any of them. Ever. Commander Bsyew also knows they were false. ShrimpPin was idle during the chat but later asked the users if I ever threatened them and they said no. ShrimpPin took a picture and while it doesn't show much, it still slightly proves my innocence.

I talked more with Seahorseruler about the rumours and he refused to give me the names of the users who told him I threatened. I then asked him what other reasons he had for demoting me. He said "You threatened to globally block Brookelas". This got me pretty upset because he reworded Brookelas' claim. Brookelas had said "Bro asked Shark to globally block me but he disagreed". I even talked with Brookelas afterwards. The funny thing about this whole thing is that Seahorseruler was in the channel where we were discussing the global block issue and he was there when I said I disagreed. He's acting like he's still my friend and he's trying to be mature about it but at the same time, he's playing me. For example. I asked him for the new YouTube password and he told me to ask Error. I asked Error and he said that Sea had told him not to tell me. What? Are you serious? Then he's telling the staff things like, "He's trying to bribe me with PC3 mod so he can get his rights back", which is again not true. I had private messaged him asking if he could help me figure out how to configure moderators, not if he wanted to be one. The only user I had really asked to be one was Error and that had nothing to do with my repromotion.

I finally got down to talking with Sea and I learned that he was going through some real life issues and apologized for the confusion. I understand, as I was going through some real life issues myself. Also, please don't private message him on IRC or message him on his talk about my repromotion. I appreciate what some of you are trying to do but it's unnecessary, really.

Alright. So that's my half of the story.

Sincerely,
