PortalPuppy31 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I feel excluded from the BIONICLE community, and I think that makes me very sad. I just wish I could connect with other people from Discord and Reddit, but turns out doing one think without knowing the rules sure got me into trouble on virtually EVERY BIONICLE Discord community and the r/bioniclelego subreddit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiden Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I don’t know the situation as a whole, but from your posts it sounds like you continued to break whatever rules after something was said to you. Correct me if I’m wrong, but either way it’s your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the rules, and you don’t typically get off Scott free just because you don’t know. I hope you learn from that, genuinely, because that heavily applies to the real world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterchirox580 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I'm not entirely sure what happened but from the looks of it you seem like a troubled individual attempting to use old internet communities to alleviate a sense of loneliness. I may be overstepping the bounds a bit by even commenting on this but you mentioned being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and having been accused of stalking. I'm not going to comment on that but I get the impression you have issues related to socialising. It's nothing to be ashamed of, in fact it's more an indictment of the society surrounding you that you don't have people in the real world to speak to. I would also like to enquire into your relationship with the bionicle franchise. Were you a fan of it during the time of G1 or have you picked up an interest later on? Either way I wouldn't recommend spending huge amounts of your time on this fanbase as virtually all of us are young adults now with different interests and responsibilities. 1 It's time to move on.

Yeah, sorry to say this but you're kind of barking up the wrong tree. The bionicle community mostly consists of people who were kids during its' original run between 2001-2011 (counting the extra story arcs). Most of us bond over that shared memory of the old days of bionicle back when it was on store shelves. Most people here will be coming from the perspective of a nostalgic rather than someone who has gained an interest long after the fact. You're more than free to continue reading up on this stuff and indulging in a love of an old franchise (I know I used to do that) but I would really suggest looking elsewhere for a sense of belonging. 5 It's time to move on.

Valendale Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 As others have said, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the rules of a community before joining it. "LURK MOAR" as they used to say back in the day. At least on a forum like this, the rules (along with everything else in my opinion) are laid out better than in some random reddit/discord/facebook group. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that this individual has supposedly been pestering another user that he is has a deep obsession with and that this has gone on for circa a month now. I don't have screenshots of the conversations that were supposedly had but given the things I know from people of other lego adjacent online communities I would personally believe the accusations to be true. This person seems to be displaying symptoms of both Autism and OCD. It is very clear that he is undergoing anxiety as he is now trying to delete threads as well as re-apologise to the person making the accusations. There is a very high chance that this will not be the end of this person's activities on this website. I'm not sure if I have any solutions for this individual other than to try and seek treatment for OCD as I believe that is what keeps driving them back to this website and other bionicle fan communities. 1 It's time to move on.

PortalPuppy31 Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Actually, I think it's hard for all of us to control our thoughts. It's not just people with OCD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
