It's ok, don't worry too much about it. Also I checked your posts past Wed 23 Jun, 10, 13:21:50 and I noticed nothing wrong involving rudeness. As for the Axe token incident, it's usual for newer members to take the first version of what they see (even people like Builderboy did similarly, before, I think), they just need to be reminded to wait until both parties explained, else it leads to nothing good. Plus, everyone has to start somewhere too
. SirCmpwn was rude before and went a few times in the -5, if I remember, even if he helped a lot, and eventually he stopped and went in the positives again
. In your case it may have taken a long while, though, because you have been less active lately, so people see your posts less often (and your profile).
In case you are worried, don't worry I do not hold anything against you. I also hope the life issues you went through aren't too bad
. I heard some really bad stories from other people around, before (much worse than SirCmpwn), and it was quite shocking.
Also since respect goes both ways, if anyone including you finds a post that is offensive or unnecessarly rude (for example, if a member with 2 post asks a question and he get bashed), he can report it to the moderators. I'm not sure about regular members if there is a report button besides posts, since I am staff, but if there isn't, the post can be quoted and sent via PM to a staff instead. I generally spot them as I browse the forums, but when activity is very high (like yesterday, where we had 450+ posts
), a lot can be missed
