As creator of V.E.T.E.R.A.N. I wanted to make a public statement on this (Especially since some of my members posted a topic about kikyowhereareu.) Just to note, this isn't directed toward those members.
I know many of you have good intentions. There are people who simply want attention and will do anything to get it, even if it means breaking rules, or annoying people, or possibly using a dead girl (Which, I find unlikely, but there are crazy people.)
I'd like to ask, rather simply: Why? You know they want attention. Publicly announcing things about them simply gives them attention. Through that, they repeat their actions to see if it brings the same results. It's a natural thought process. You do something, (Whether good or bad) and you get what you want, you do it again. Over and over. Kikyo (as a popular example) Is most likely a child that wants attention. To make kikyo a respectable member, you have to simply.. Ignore her.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOMEONE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO THEM. You have the capability to ignore somebody on the forum, note the 'Forum ignore list' in your user CP.
I feel this is what the entire V.E.T.E.R.A.N. group stands for. Attention grabbers are innocent, if you really want to help them, you simply have to leave them alone. Fighting fire by putting gasoline on it simply because it smells bad doesn't help. (Yay obscure metaphors.)
Thank you, and good night.
