Like a desperate child looking for help, looking for support, I run towards my mother...
my home..
MiniTokyo so far is the best wallpaper community site I have ever joined and no doubts about that. I never thought that I would come to this point.
I have recently joined AnimePaper.NET, another walling community site and I cannot believe what just happened. I felt like a weak child who fought againts powerful forces. I cannot help it but complain.
My previous account was Crewcifix.animepaper.NET
You see, these people have deleted one of my wallpapers. This one to be exact.
I apparantly have no idea as to why they deleted my wall. Sadly though I thought I should have accepted the admins
verdict, right? I mean, come on, your wall is deleted so it shall be? right?
WRONG!
Apparently, I checked my private messages and deemed on what possible reasons as to why my wallpaper could have probably been deleted. Much like in the MiniTokyo Policy, the following walls will be deleted if....
a) Ripped ------ ermm.. do I even look like a ripper. lolz. I make my own walls dammit!
b) Use of graphics from other walls and the like ------------- again, I make my own stuff. If there was stock photo, it
would HAVE been mentioned.
c) Simplistc ------- guess NOT!
And the list goes on as I cannot seem to come up with a specific answer.
So I decided to take action and contact the admin through the shoutbox. Good thing that one of the admins there were
KIND enough to listen. But everyone else were like... Problems are NOT supposed to mentioned in the SB. I'm like
WHAT THE F....? Then what is the shoutbox for if you cannot even use it for immediate emergencies like this. I mean
sure, start a thread and get everyone's attention around you... right. Like as if people would even bother to open
the thread and see the problem or whatever. Though perhaps it would have been a wiser descicion if I decided to contact
an admin immediately but WHICH ONE????
Anyway, I decided to contact someone entertaining anyway and this is what she said. (take note that I edited several portions of it for privacy reasons..)
AND YOU KNOW WHAT FUNNIER.. HEHE.. MY PRIVATE MESSAGES WERE DELETED! I MEAN. OMG.. I DIDN'T DELETE THEM MYSELF.. LIKE WOW.. pms delete themselves nowadays... right...
message 01:
well, i can tell you id dindn't delete it, and honestly, i have no idea why it was deleted.
i see the signature, and the wall IS up to standards.
i can say that it may not have been approved when the comments had been added. the walls will be listed in the catagory
when they are submitted, approved or not. they just won't show up in th enew submissions.
i really wish i could help you, but unfortunatly, the staff here doesn;t sya much to each other when we go through walls
and stuff. the only ones that go back and forth are me and ****, and that wall wasn't deleted by either of us. i
would suggest reuploading the wall. i'll approve it, and if it's deleted again, i'll find out why.
all the staff here are supposed to send out a PM why a wall was deleted. i know i always do. so whoever did it, will
actually be in a lot of trouble.
sorry that this happened, and i wish i could be of more help, but since the staff here almost never talks to each other
(for reasons i really don't know) it's almost impossible to say why.
if it DOES get deleted again, i will post about it in the staff section and see what happens. what MAY have happened is
the image may have been broken or something. but even still, you should have gotten a
message : /
sorry again.
(see.. I should HAVE gotten atleast a PM as to why the wall by deleted. Furthermore, they do NOT have enough valid
reason as to why the wall was deleted!! ??wtf)
message 02:
yeah. i feel readlly bad about all this.
keeping this between you and me though, **NAME OF ADMIN** and i haven't been on good terms lately, and well, me and
*** spoke all of...once? i could make a thread about it in the admin section, but unfortunatly, not all the staff gives
a crap (which is why i think we should weed them out)
i will mention this to the mods and staff that care.
i highly doubt it was ***** that did it. he's been so busy with other stuff he doesn't even touch the walls or
scans, but it could have been ***, although her not sending a PM with it is unlikely.
i'm just curious to find out who it was : /
the reason i'm so puzzeled is the fact that your wall met the galleries standards. not all walls here do, but if
they don't they are told to improve them in session zero and try again. the reason for THAT is basically because MT
gets a flood of lack of effort walls, and since members here get rewarded with paper for their walls that cna be used to
download scans and such, if we just accepted every wall, all hell would break lose.
i don't see why something would be deleted for it's description though. so just upload it again, and in your
description mention that there was a problem and i told you to reupload it. that way if anyone has a problem with it,
it'll come back to me.
i'm really sorry this happened to your wall. There is absolutly no reason for it, and i WILL be making a point of
it in the admin section.
as for being friends, sure :3
and i hope this gets cleared up soon.
also, yeah, i have an MT name... it's ****.
because of this ridiculous mess, **EDIT OUT AS REQUESTED**
and i'm gla dyou told me about this, so i can keep a better eye on the whole approving wall thing :)
(apparently, the do not know why my wall was deleted)
Personally, it wouldn't have gotten this far. Personally it wouldn't have. I just thought though for one second that I might have been mistaken.. or something.. or something. Just tonight however, I surfed my cached and found out that I indeed did not receive the message. I remember getting 6 messages that day. 5 comments and 1 fav = 6 notifs. No 7th.. and then when I decided to reply upon the admin about this through PM, I found out the previous 2 PMS she gave me, those you have just read, were also deleted!! HOW IN THE WORLD COULD PM BE DELETED OFF BY THEMSELVES.

Strange phenomena isn't it. I definitely learned my lesson. Maybe I was a bit too trusting. But I do not have any idea why this person whoever it is deleted my wallpaper. I also have no idea if he or she has anything againts me as I haven't remembered injuring anyone gravely online.. the heck...
Forgive and forget. true true. But the main purpose of this thread, aside from the fact that I want my whisper to be heard is greater than that purpose. To warn other wallers that such thing exist. I cannot myself explain it but I honestly cannot be just quiet about this either and accept it. I have nothing againts the community as they have some of the best wallers I have seen too. However, I am disgusted by that event/situation and I seriouslly want a formal apology as if they don't, then it only proves that they do not give a damn as to what happened to me or to any other people. JUST IMAGINE IF IT WAS YOU IN MY PLACE. Would you have liked the way they treated you? NO. A big NO.
According to the Bible:
NO EVIL FORMED AGAINTS ME SHALL PROSPER.
Remember that if you fight me, you are also fighting my GOD. Especially if I have not done anything againts you, you are in big trouble...
(I am stressed over this situation as I do not want to experience it no longer..
thank you very much to my MT friends, no, to all my real friends out there who cares for me...

It is not my intention by all means that the two forums go againts each other. This is just a mere experience like everyone else, who want to inform, reach out in freedom and warn other fellow wallers of what might be lingering..
(in a dramatic epilogue, i just want to end this by saying that i am very grateful for the existence of MiniTokyo. Kudos! to the creator, members and everyone else who is part of the community.. ahem.. the family.) :)
