These are the stuff i had taken from this forum to my forum now i wanted to say "sorry" to everyone, one by one
Sorry ヤタ for taking "Staff List", "Creative Works Rules".
Sorry Devour for taking "Cardfight Area Client, Forum & Chat Rules", "Warnings and Ban-Lists", "Tournament hosting - Rules and how-to's.", "[LFT] - Looking for Teammates!", "Team Section - [Rules/Examples]"
Sorry Unknown kira for taking "Introduce Yourself".
Sorry Hope for taking "(GSE) Clan Leaders!", "(GSE) Clan Leaders Voting", "Grade System Event".
Sorry Zane, Moezilla, Dhan, Yata, Fei Yen, Hope, Touma Callum, Kaze Ryuenji for taking "Team Ragnarok Storm".
Sorry Beryl for taking your "Neo Nectar Deck".
Sorry Sinon for taking your "Pale Moon Deck".
Sorry Galleon for taking your "Aqua Force Deck".
Sorry Rem for taking "Images like "Off", "ON", "Redirect""

The reason i taken these are for to make my forum much for active. When i started the forum i had no idea what do post and how to get more members to it. So thought of getting some stuff from here and i pasted it on my forum. Because i didn't knew much about what to put there so i had taken taken it from here. Some users never talk to me in here, so that's why i created a forum and i wanted that forum to be just like this forum. and wanted more members to be active just like this one. but some of them were have got bored of using the forum.. so that's why i thought of getting the GSE thing that hope made. At that time i thought they will be happy to do something like that. so yeah these are the reason. i wanted to make my forum just like this forum. and i didn't mean to make you guys sad for doing this. So Now i know i had done the mistake which is much big.

To my Forum friends
I lied to my forum friends, they didn't knew that, i had copied the all stuff from here, on my forum. Now they really are mad at me so i apologize to them too. I had made them feel  shame because of me. I didn't really meant to do this, from now i have to start a new life here. So that i could forget everything what had happened here and also i need everyone's help to do that. I won't repeat my mistake again in my life. So Asking for forgiveness from everyone. Forgive me.

[Cherry]

You did MUCH MORE than this.

This is not something you can half-ass. You did more than "copy some threads" from this forum to the other. Explain in detail what you've done and why you did it.

I'm not going to ban you nor is anyone else. This isn't something you can pass off as a desire to be martyr'd either.

I had to go through making a large apology post, and I still have to make amends with actions. But I made clear everything that I was sorry for and the horrible deeds that I did. You need to do the same.

[Ren «Я»]

Hey all, I'm ibuki kouji here. i Had done a very big mistake. I had copied some of the thread from this forum to forum. Now i wanted to say SORRY to all for doing this damn thing. By doing this, i know i can't be forgiven as a punishment please ban me for 1 month so until then i can be improved.

SORRY

Explanation:
I perry much know what i have done.. so i don't need to say what i have done or maybe not? i had taken some of the thread from this FORUM to my forum. that's it. Just here to say the reason. Because my computer was down i didn't got the chance to open my cardfight area and also i was a member of trade cards online. then i made a forum on there, so i got nothing on my mind to write anything. so yeah i took some of the thread from this forum and posted it on my forum. later the forum was getting inactive and members of that forum was getting so much bored. so then i thought of getting some other stuff from here and post it to there to have some fun too.

[Ren «Я»]

And that's how u explain an entire situation not screaming "I'm sorry"

[Ibuki Kouji]

There ren have showed all the proof. thx ren

[Cherry]

[Ren's screenshots are given a pass by me, Cherry. This is note for the rest of the Staff team.]

Let me list this out since you don't seem to know how to:

- Rules/Guidelines of most CFA sections
- Ragnarok Storm's everything
- Beryl's Neo Nectar Deck with his full explanations for it
- A Pale Moon deck by Sinon
- A deck with full explanations by Galleon on Aqua Force
- The entire GSE event

This is what you stole specifically, and that's not even everything since I'm sure there's more others could point out.

This is what you need to list in your apology. In addition to that, you need to list why you did it. The REAL reason, since you've given us several in Chatango, and then said there was no reason. Then, you need to tell why you thought this reason was okay at the time. Don't respond with "lol" or "" or ";-;", they remove your sincerity. In addition to that, you need to point out each and every person that you need to apologize to. Name them. You have a whole team to apologize to for starters with two very upset graphic designers.

You also need to offer a more sincere apology to your own community back on your forums. You showed them that you weren't putting in your own effort for them to have an enjoyable time, you were only taking someone else's effort. That's not what friends should do. If you think of them as friends, you need to be more dedicated to them.

Edit your post one more time. Even if you have to repeat things I just said, or repeat things you said, get it all down. If you want people to forgive you, you have to put effort into it. It's still going to require time, but you have to start with this if you want to get anywhere.

[Cherry]

So before you people try to accuse me of "Abuse" (since that's what I woke up to and it was about this thread in particular), let me explain the situation, along with what I was doing at the time.

The screenshots were in another chat (specifically the TCO's Chatango), which is why they weren't dealt with in our forum chat. I'm not trying to deny what Hope did, if you guys want to get on that, that's your choice.

As you read, Ibuki stole a massive amount of content that wasn't copyrighted. While I submit to the fact that it wasn't, it's still a form of theft that's undeniable. No one said Ibuki was going to be banned for this at the time.

The community was on a witch hunt (mainly the victims, rightfully so), and I didn't want to see Ibuki maimed. In fact, I was the sole person sitting down and trying to make him apologize for the things he did (as seen in this thread). Many people were on his case about this and he had been banned from his own forums. I, however, did my best to make him give a sincere apology in hopes of him being able to redeem himself with time and effort. My posts look harsh, but I was trying to drill into his head what he needed to do. I've been in a situation where I had to make a massive apology post, and since nobody helped me, it turned into a mess and made matters much worse than they were.

Ibuki threw my help in my face. He kept responding with insincere ";-;" and "lol" messages, making people angrier. He was told repeatedly to stop if he wanted people to accept his apology. But he didn't. He also pressed on to give us multiple and flaky reasons as to why he did all that he did. The screenshots/logs state that he was doing it all for his friends. There's more of that, however. He went on to say different things that eventually led to there being "no reason". We told him that we had one of his "friends" remove his admin privileges on the forum, and he went on to say that he regretted giving said friend powers. This led into blaming that friend instead of taking responsibility for himself.

Ibuki continuously requested to be banned, but I didn't give it to him, and neither did any mod in the aftermath. I wanted him to own up to his mistakes. Even though he didn't, he still wasn't banned.

I'd very much appreciate if you guys would actually talk to me about what happened before I get told what I did was "mod abuse". Being a moderator had nothing to do with this situation except being the one who could have banned Ibuki, but chose not to, along with allowing those screenshots to be posted as evidence.
