20th Jan 2013 12:24 Recently I had a very upsetting event happen in mara. I have been around off and on for a long time. I play here with the rest of my family and a few close friends. We started here because of my mom. She use to play neopets but when Ian made mara and she found out about it she came here. She thought it was friendly and easier then neo. I mean when we started here they still had games from other sites none where maragames lol if that tells you how long. Well we had alot of things going on, so for about a year or so we didn't get on and play mara or much of anything else. But things calmed down in our lives and we thought we would come back. Its usually very friendly and has a calming affect and lots of games to play. My mom is very ill and has been for a few years now ... so I like to get her things for her gallery (Believe me its huge) so today I'm in trades trying to sell anything lol but I see someone selling a gypsy sybri .. so I'm thinking to myself "now mom would really love that, heck I might even get outta doin dishes for a night lol) So it says what the person wants is alot of dukkas .. Well I don't know exactly what a sybri is worth nor do i know what the large amount dukkas go for. So I mail the person and ask How many dukkas would it take to get that. They reply alot just bid. So me thinking it must be worth alot put my only 250 dukka in the bid along with a 50 a 45 a couple of 6's and a few 2 dukkas. Seemed like a good amount to me, right. So it gets rejected. So I was ok with that and think I maybe should try again with more dukkas, so I get more and go to bid and get "user has banned you from bidding" I felt my heart sink ... so i was gonna mail them and ask why? Maybe they had someone they wanted to have it or something i dunno. So when i mail them I get "user has banned you from mailing them sorta message" I'm like wow did i do something wrong? I was really upset but what could I do. So I had posted earlier about the card raider game not working and went to see if it had been posted on by an admin or anything . And see someone posting about wanting a sybri. So I go in there to post that there is one in trades, namely the one I was not allowed to bid on. But I add a warning not to ask the owner any questions or you may get banned by them. I never put that it was a gypsy sybri which would have singled the person out nor used their name so I didn't figure i did anything wrong and besides that it was all fact I wasn't being mean It was the truth. So why would anyone do that and then get mad for the person telling others that they did it? I don't get that at all. So the person went to the admins and had them delete my post. Why? it didn't mention anyone and it really happened. So why delete it ... I just telling people what happened to me and if she did it why get mad when other people know if you felt like it was the right thing to do? Then to top it all off after having the admins handling it .. it should have been a done deal but noooooooo she has the nerve to write to me and tell me how rude and mean I am for posting that and that she banned me in the first place because my bid was a joke and not even close to what I should have bid. Well first I asked what she wanted for it cuz i didn't know. Secondly I didn't put a gumball on it, it was a sincere bid and all them dukkas are worth alot. Ban me because I didn't bid enough!!!! Really ... Really ... so now I am beyond mad ... mad she wrote to me just to say mean things after contacting admin to handle it and mad she thought I was a joke for bidding what I did. Clearly when someone asks you its because they don't know ... so why turn around and treat them like dirt when you wouldn't even answer them and they made a sincere effort. I hope I never get to be like that if I treat anyone like that please please bring it to my attention so I can correct it immediately ... my mother raised me better then that.
Thanks for listening to me rant It helped to write about it.
