Mods, do not ban me for harassment. This is NOT harassment. Harassment “is commonly understood as behavior that demeans, humiliates or embarrasses a person.” (wikipedia). Pointing out what someone did wrong is not demeaning them, or humiliating them, or embarrassing them, especially when that person vehemently argues that she is the victim of those actions, and then has been calling ME out for lying and being egocentric., even though this is literally my first forum post on the topic, and thus could not have lied about anything... Otherwise, all court cases where the suspect is found guilty is an example of harassment. I know one of you said dont bring this up again, but at this point i kinda have to.

Note: this forum post implies that you know what happened. I dont go into specifics as to what "this post" and "that post" is.
.
Second Note: as X4JB pointed out, I used "Randy" in short of Randomusername. He informed me that "randy" is an actual word in the english language that means lustful, lecherous. This was in no way intentional, English is not my first language, and thus my vocab can be pretty limited at times. Sry bout that!
.

First thing first: I have indeed done something wrong! I have the capacity to admit when I am in the wrong. I did in fact re-upload Randonusername’s deleted post without her permission to do so, breaking the rules of the game, as very eloquently stated by randy herself:
.
And this is where I talk about randomusername directly.
.
I’m mainly going to go off of this post below, posted by RU herself to an undisclosed discord server, in addition to a snippet of her current bio:


.
Let’s start with this bit in the discord post:
.

.
There are many examples of her being egotistic, but conveniently, RU had all her posts removed. Luckily, I have screenshots, so not all the empirical evidence is gone, and we dont have to resort to purely anecdotal.
.
Please take a look at these two screenshots:


Do you notice something in common between them?
They’re all about herself. More specifically:
“None of the successors are what I want.”
- That’s not the point of successors, randy. That’s the exact opposite of what a successor on SP is; someone else takes your build, and makes it their own, editing it as they please, and they re-upload it. I will go into more detail about this later.
“Do you even know me?”
- I don’t think I need to explain myself for this one.
.
With those two, it was pretty easy to spot the egocentrism in the post. This next one may take some big braining:

(context: this comment was left on X4JB’s water-cooled CR-15 post)
.
Why is this ego-centrism? I think X4JB said it best:

.
Anyone could very clearly see that the post in question was very clearly a joke, and nobody took it seriously. Except for Randy, who took it as a personal attack.
To take one of the most light-hearted jokes there are and misconstrue that as a directed assault on your own self-worth implies that Randy thinks people only do things for two reasons: to help her or to harm her. Every action is carried out with her in mind. Whatever someone is doing, she thinks it’s always connected back to herself in some way, even if that thing is merely a harmless joke. And I would argue that that is very egocentric.
.
Ok, this one, I don’t have a screenshot as proof, but I do have a screenshot of my reply to her comment:

“What I make? It’s perfect! If you change it, you are RUINING my perfect creation!”
.
.
Now, I would like to shift your attention to these excerpts, again from her bio and her discord post:



.
For someone who emphasizes that she doesnt like drama and attention, she sure does go around starting a lot of drama and begging for attention. Let me explain, because again, Randy has deleted all her posts.
- This may come as a surprise to people, but I did not advertise the upload of Randy’s car with the millennium falcon cockpit strapped to it. I merely uploaded it, and that’s it. The person who publicized it was none other than Randy herself! After seeing my upload, she deleted the original CR-15, which ok, i have no problem with that, she has the right to do that. And then she uploaded a forum post detailing that she had deleted her original post because some user had been harassing her.
I think this comment really sums up my reaction to that well.
Look at this photo:

.
Notice how it has 0 upvotes? That means that it has drawn absolutely no attention to itself. However, it rose to a total of 8 upvotes AFTER Randy posted that forum. This implies that the ONLY reason people found out about this at all was because randy literally announced to everyone that it had happened. You just cannot claim that you do not seek attention after pulling something like that.
.
(BTW, here is the link to that forum. It doesnt work anymore, but i just wanted to show that I have it.)
.
.
Secondly, let’s talk about those face reveals.
One could argue that the first one she did, which was her fuselage art post, was not an attempt to farm attention. She merely made a fuselage art of herself, and I know fuselage art takes some effort to do. So props!
However, if one was truly not seeking attention, one would not then go ahead and, seeing the success of the first face reveal, do a second one, literally titled “what do you think of my new avatar?”, which grew so popular that she had to ask a moderator to remove some comments.

And you can interpret that comment in any way you want.
.
.
Next, SEXISM! I’ve heard the sexism card being thrown around a bit during this whole thing.
Randy says so herself as well, in her bio:

Let me be the one the break it to you, randy: the ONLY reason you exploded in popularity on SP is because of sexism. Sexism has, in fact, BENEFITTED you. Have you noticed that after you uploaded your face reveals where you reveal that you are a girl, your posts, which had previously been getting around 40-60 upvotes suddenly started getting a minimum of 100? Is it because you suddenly got much better at the game? No, it’s because of sexism; boys, who make up id say 99% of this game’s userbase, started to flock to your builds to honor it with their upvote. If i remember correctly, EVERY single one of your posts after the face reveals have surpassed 100 upvotes, purely because you are girl, and thus are treated differently. Your face reveals got literally hundreds of comments complimenting you or your drawing, purely because you are a girl, and thus are treated differently. Multiple people actually pointed this out in the comments of that post, though I do not have screenshots of them. Bottom line is, if I were you, I would not be complaining about sexism.
.
Now, let’s look at what started all this: Randy does not like Successors. Here’s her saying it:

.
And here is her reaction towards me uploading a successor to her post:

“I would rather be a nobody than the user that has to deal with this.”
.
.
(minor interjection: I find it weird that you hate successors which have changed something in your build, but when I literally just took your post and uploaded it as is with no changes, you still freaked out. Inconsistent much? I sense a double standard.)
.
.
Randy. If you read none of what I wrote above, please at least read this. The whole point of why we are called the Simpleplanes Community is because of that one word: community. Remember the communism meme? Like “haha communism its not your bread its OUR bread!” Communism and community come from the same root word, communis, which in Latin, means "common, public, shared by all or many.” Shared by all or many. Not gatekept and restricted. When you upload a plane to the Simpleplanes Community, that post is not trademarked, copyrighted, and put behind a paywall; its shared to everyone and anyone to download, change, and reupload, as long as you don't steal. That’s why the successor system exists! That’s what makes us a community, not competitors or rivals. Our creativity is for everyone to take part in as a whole. Together, we form one group. If you don’t like that, then you may like sites like Turbosquid, where all 3d models are hidden behind paywalls, but if you cant learn to accept the very simple premise that when you upload a post, you are contributing your creativity to the whole community, well, sorry to say but...maybe you don’t belong here.
.
.
.
Lastly, a quick defense for myself. Throughout this whole thing, I have been called toxic, a cyberbully, a harasser, etc etc. Hopefully this forum changed your mind about that. But in case you didn’t, here are some comments left by me to Randomusername, at the bottom of the original CR-15 Millennium Falcon cockpit post, where I am genuinely trying to help her:


.
I meant whole-heartedly what I said in those comments. She has admitted that she is waaay too sensitive, and that it is a problem that she wishes to fix. And I was offering her a way to fix that. She didn’t want my help, then accused me of harassment. Then I got banned for harassment.
.
Comment section is open to all perspectives. I have blocked no one, and will be offended by no one, so feel free to let it out on me if you wish.
