What things do you regret doing on the wiki, forum, or etc.?

@Flygon64 KingBowser64 is right. Making mistakes is what makes us human. And everyone always matures over time and learns.

Also another thing I remember is back when I went on the Internet for the first time, on YouTube as a teenager, oh my God, my social skills were so incredibly bad. I annoyed and irritated a lot of people on there with my constant talking, just like I did on the other forum-I was on both of them at the same time. I have ADHD, and it took me a while to grow out of that and out of incessantly chattering. I was on both of them in the same time period and I irritated the crap out of everybody on both LOL. Now that my social skills are much better and I have more impulse control, now everyone on YouTube and the other forum actually like me now, but I don't really go on there very often because I am usually hanging out here. I only really go on YouTube nowadays to just watch videos.

@Pomni I looked up the definition of rant:

speak or shout at length in a wild, impassioned way.

I think rant means to just say negative things about something in a wild or crazy way. What you said didn't sound anything like a rant.

If someone says something like "Why I absolutely HATE The Super Mario Bros. Movie!" and then just says every bad thing about the film with no positive qualities, I say that's a rant.

Oh, okay. Well, thank you for giving me new knowledge!

My rants. When I don't like something, I'll rant about it. I have no idea how annoying it is but you guys tell me, how annoying do you guys find it?

That's ok. A lot of people rant about things they hate or that get on their nerves. I think soap operas are extremely boring, so I like to rant about them LOL. For some reason, when I talk bad about something I hate, I feel like it's somehow a form of revenge. And it makes me less annoyed by whatever it is. I know that makes no sense LOL; it doesn't make any sense to me either.

Except that makes complete sense and is natural human instinct; it feels better voicing frustrations as then what is annoying you feels like other people might take that into account more
 
Earlier today I made my worst proposal ever. If anyone was online earlier you would've seen it. I'm very sorry and it's super embarrassing for me. How I wish I could rewind time…

it's all good, you had an idea and it didn't work out, no need to be ashamed of that
 
Without ripping into myself and centering the focus on that, in turn rendering the point of the "apology" post null, I'd like to reflect.

I think my big mistake was participating in Mafia games past my second. There was a part of me who wanted to keep playing each game to "redeem myself" in the eyes of the people I played with. I took the games too seriously, I'd always get this feeling of people ganging on me, and each time I'd have another meltdown, pissing off the other players over and over. My apologies became increasingly more reflexive, there was a minimal actual reflection involved. Past a certain point I gave up with the apologies because I knew they'd grown worthless, but that desire to "atone for my sins" didn't die out. So I joined the next and then the next, freaked out again and again.

I've dealt with severe paranoia in the past, as in "that absolute stranger would kill me if I gave them the chance" severe. Though my paranoia has toned down I still have to fight a piece of me that tries to convince myself that everyone hates me and that I'm only a burden when I make mistakes. While I've gotten better in recent times, back then it was fairly full force.

I begun to see myself as "irredeemable" and that no one cared for me. Even though people like @Hooded Pitohui and @Ray Trace reached to me via DM way back to assure me that I was fine, okay, that I wasn't the ire of everyone's eye, that I just needed to take a break, walk away, I didn't truly listen and repeated my mistakes. Even when I thought this way, I still sought validation, forgiveness, if I kept putting the weight of this obligation I felt I'll eventually not tumble, I'll eventually not fall over, I'll persevere and everyone will actually care about what I say, they'll pay attention to me, I won't be the annoying kid anymore and I'll be their friends. All if I just play a single Mafia game without entering a state of utter neurosis and being a nuisance to all those involved.

I was utterly convinced being annoying about a silly game was a grave sin. Convinced I was an utter embarrassment to be shunned and outcast from society for attempting to wax poetic in a forum game where a Waluigi clone in Groucho glasses weeps for some Ace Attorney character and not that it was incredibly silly. I've come to realize I was young and naive and obnoxious, I'm sorry for all the trouble.

Being so immature, impulsive and hotheaded when I first hung around this forum back in the early to mid 2010s. A few examples include insulting other users over petty and dumb things such as being removed from The 'Shroom due to circumstances beyond my control, being eliminated in Mafia games, or characters I dislike winning Elimination games in the Forum Games tab. But perhaps the biggest regret regarding the wiki/forum I hold was posting a very vulgar and uncalled rant after getting trolled by two people on Roblox, which caused me to get permabanned in early 2015. In the following years, I tried to rejoin the community multiple times, asking for another chance, but was denied every time. After that, I let it rest until late 2021, where I decided to try one more time to ask for another chance, and due to my honesty, I was granted that chance. I've used that chance to the fullest since then, and it shows that I've learned from the mistakes I made back then.
 
never finishing my expanded and updated table on Super Nintendo World Universial Studio Japan merchindice leading to all the images i uploaded being deleted and now theres so much new shit i dont think i can catch up LMAO

its a silly thing but physical mario merch is very important to me and mariowiki in general has poor documentation on em, i was able to finish the mario kart hotwheels page after finding a very rare daisy product image that was on a defunct toy website 🫠
 
A: Lying about how old I was when I first joined the Boards
B: My first posts that made the above highly obvious. I mean, go read my first profile post (the first post I ever did). Does that sound like the someone who wrote it was born in 1985 or 2010? You tell me
C: The Switch DNS browser being my primary browser
D: Using the wiki when SM3DW+BF came out to find the rest of the green stars and stamps I missed, I shoulda just figured it out

The first three I feel very guilty about, but the last one is more of a joke from when I was younger
 
@Turboo so in akgo I did a lot of dunkin on ur rp. I thought of it as just teasing, long story cut short i was younger years old and was hanging around with a bunch of other people online at the same time as that game that were all qbt calling things "cringe" and anime was kinda like a thing they joked about and my weeb ass played along with that to fit in and be "cool" in their eyes lol. That was perceived as dunking on you. snack said something about bullying my friend or whatever. Not my intent. I already kinda apologized for this but it was weak and flimsy and reflexive and not explanatory.
 
I guess I'd say getting too much involved it reverting edits for a while. After one anon played an edit war with me, I was addressed over the issue, and I've since toned down my reverting habits.

I've done far worse things on other wikis, to be honest.
