Hi Frog!
Thank you very much for your earnest and detailed reply. First and foremost, I want to reassure you that no one wants you to leave the database. Personally, I am very fond of you and your presence, and I believe you are an asset to the site, and I believe you have a lot of potential and bring a lot of much needed energy here. I really, honestly, enjoy you being here. I think I would be sad if you decided to quit. I know I was quite stern in my last message; please do not take it as a personal attack on you. I wanted to address this immediately because I like having you here, and I saw your growth (You HAVE been doing better than ever!!). i was worried of a relapse, for lack of better terms. With that all said, I believe what you relayed to me in your last message, so thank you for sharing.
A lot of current concern is based around past behaviour and history; seeing these have made people worry it was something that you won't change from. I do know know of people who have been bothered, but it is not my place to share who, as it is not about you as an individual.
I want to be as transparent as possible with you to ensure you have ample opportunity to grow and thrive here. I know criticism is never easy to take, but here's some of the concerns shared. Please use this as an opportunity to grow and thrive.
Here's a comment that was shared with me.
"my problem with the way he edits is that he edits a LOT and it rarely improves his answers significantly. it's not uncommon that he'll post an answer and do 5 or 6 edits over the course of the next couple days, none of which change the answer enough to make it better.
from my memory a significant chunk of his answers have useless bloat of restating information things that are otherwise obvious.
https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/29274/are-there-any-bug-and-fire-types?show=435840#a435840 - this one, for example."
Another thing often mentioned is that we feel like you make a lot of effort to impress others or to get points. We want you make sure you understand the point of the website is to make helpful and clear answers, without any extra information, with the intention to help others in the future. Additional comments, random chatter, and personal thoughts in answers are usually not helpful in answers. I know it's confusing since early database was full of personal chatter, but now that type of stuff is to be limited to wallposts or chatroom. Remember: answers are to be clear, to the point, and no personal commentary. the answers should be easy to find.
I appreciate you taking this seriously, and I'm really glad you've been doing okay! I'm sorry for being unclear and scary in my last message. Please let me know if this more helpful for you! If you have any more questions or need any more advice on this, please let us know.
