This is just to say goodbye. After this post, I will not be returning to SheezyArt again.

About a week ago, I was removed from the Staff here at SheezyArt for posting lyrics in my journal as a joke, I'm sure many of you who read this saw those lyrics and know what I'm talking about. However, it seems that Staff are not permitted to have a sense of humor, and I was removed for expressing views that are not accepted for SheezyArt's Staff. Oh well, I did my best while I was a Staff member to try and help SheezyArt, to make it a better place, and while there was a couple bumps in the road, I felt good while I was helping out.

Recently, I made the account named Nobody to continue, as best I could, at monitoring galleries and submitting the occasional report for mis-cadegorized submissions or whatnot after being removed officially from the Staff (due to the lyrics I posted not so long ago in my journal). I had decided against using the user name Snowolf to do such things because I figured the Staff considered I did a great deal of damage with that name, and I didn't want to do anything to continue to harm SheezyArt, or it's Staff's, reputation.

Early last night, it seems my posting on threads (as the user Nobody) in the forum, despite keeping my anger in check and being careful to not break the Terms of Service, has warranted my permanent banning from SheezyArt. The reason I was given, "you are causing others to lose their temper," and "you made a Troll account just to cause trouble." After having been Staff for a short time, and having found and reported to higher powers, many MANY people who's sole purpose was and is to "make others angry" and after having seen many of those I reported get no action beyond a warning, I'm somewhat surprised on this outcome. No warning, no PM, no IM, no request, even on those threads, to stop.

After an evening of having to repost serious suggestion threads and even a harmless thread on general after they were deleted or locked, several times, without reason (nobody was being flamed, and the suggestion threads were quite serious) or warning, I too was feeling a bit "angry".


I admit, I posted one thread that was intentionally negative, but the one it was about was perfectly fine with it, and it was not a flame, just a disagreement with how he does his "job" here on SA. Wyreth, if you happen to read this, I apologize if it seems I am against you, for it is not you I am against, but the system you represent and work for. If you feel up to telling me more of those "secrets" that are going on, on the Staff forums, I'd love to hear, just I'm me sometime pall!


Grave, you and I never were on one another's good sides, despite how much we lied and tried, it just never happened, and while you may try to say you didn't lie or whatnot, we both know that isn't true. After you attacked me on my journal, calling me a pedophile and a rapist, I lost what little respect I had for you, as a (at the time) fellow Staff member, and a person overall. But you have your agenda to stick to, so I'll let you stick to it so long as you leave me be.

Nichie, yea, I told your big bad secret to a friend, sorry that rubbed you so wrong, but I trust my friends, and I'd expect or at least hope for them to trust me in return, and part of that is to not keep secrets, especially stupid ones like someone's name and gender. So sorry if that bothered you.

To my friends among the Staff, I'm sorry for the extra work and stress I've caused you. v.v

To all my friends who kindly came, registered and have been posting and/or commenting on things here at SheezyArt, I thank you all for your support, of me and of SheezyArt, even when I spent more time on the site, doing Staff crap than woofing with you like we used to. I'm sorry if I hurt you in that way, and I hope you'll all be willing to follow me again somewhere, someday. I don't want to try and pull you away from SheezyArt. Some of you are quite well settled in here now and have made some new friends. I'm sorry I won't be able to comment on your future journals or artwork, but I'm sure it will all be wonderfully done anyhow. ^.^ *wags*

To those "Trolls" who've been such a thorn in my paw, well, as Grave said to me recently.. fuck you very much!

Feel free to contact me, though Trolls, you'll quickly be blocked, so I'd say don't waste your time, but then, it's yours to waste I suppose. :)

I don't hate the concept, or the dream of wonderful online communities like SheezyArt.. just the corruption and unjust treatment given out by those who have "power" over the rest.. Sorry if I ever seemed like a tyrant or dictator.. That was the last thing on my mind. I wanted to help, I wanted to watch SheezyArt grow, and for a time I did, but now I am forced to take my leave.

Goodbye all 15,000+ users and Staff of SheezyArt, farewell,
~Snowolf~

With each breath, With each howl, With each step.. I am.
