Welcome, to the wonderous world of Hogwarts!
I hope the experience will be magical for you!

Why are you making it sound like you always offend people?

Cause, I keep getting in to OOC trouble. Got three owls in a ROW, telling me to stop one day. Made me feel, well, um, like an asshole. And idk, it's hard not to be one on the internet sometimes.
So, I try to keep insults small. And I make sure to say that it was a joke! (Most of the time)

And I do not want to get banned.

If I sound like a mean person rn, ummmm, sorry. And feel free to shoot an owl telling me to be more pleasant! Or any other suggestions that will help me become a more nicer person to interact with.

Seriously, if i do something that might get me banned or reported, feel free to tell me to stop!

Because I do not think it's normal for a user to be afraid when they see an owl from a strange name you have never seen before, thinking it's a staff member warning me to stop doing something.

Am I the only one that's afraid of owls from a person that I don't know?

...who are those people warning you? If they are being unbearable, they should be reported. And why are you insulting people you do not know?

So many replies - so little time. Let's see how this goes. Motivation, don't fail me!

Whatever you did, don't do it again. Atleast they talked to you about your attitude in private. Also, it sounds like you're already self-aware.

Online interactions can be tricky, we might misunderstood someone with our replies. So let's just be mindful of our actions. Also, don't insult ppl here. You'll definitely get in trouble. (Aside from ic, I think we can do that)

I used to welcome fellow badgers to the site when I was a Hufflepuff prefect. I hope no one got nervous over that!

Ummmm... okay, I hope I don't say anything controversial or something like that in the following response, but the answer to the 1st question is,

1. They were NOT harassing me in ANYWAY, I said not kind things, and I deserved to get reported. Also, to prove that, when the staff member(not gonna say who) sent me an owl, the person made sure that himself or herself KNEW what I said/did wrong.

I am glad they reported me, now I think I know the boundaries between jokes and insults, and made me a better person to interact with.(I genuinely hope so.)

The 2nd answer to the 2nd question:

Yes, I did say wrong things, mostly me insulting other Hogwarts houses than Hufflepuff, because my brain is just the dumbest.
But it's been like over a month since I got reported for wrong things. And I plan to keep the streak going.

I usually don't like talking about this kind of stuff on this site. They make me feel awkward in ways i can't understand. But if you (or other people have more questions)feel free to ask.
I didn't really spend time talking to other random people on the internet, or joining an online community, until I joined H.io, no reddit, no nothing. Anyway, to anyone reading this, bye, and have a good day.

That would have been a nice, welcoming touch. I felt very alone when I first hopped in the site.

Okay, Pettely, thanks for the clarification. You made it sound like you were being threatened, and it is not normal to feel afraid getting an owl. ((
