Hey Guys, It's your fellow moderator, CaptainPresto, here to talk about something brief and Important.

There have been a few cases recently of the mod team having to ban people for Inappropriate DMs, Asking/Begging for nudes, etc.

Long story short, Please don't do that here. This is a Forum, for an Online Piano Website, not Tinder.

I shouldn't have to say it, but that type of behavior goes against our guidelines. And quite frankly, I'm tired of people asking about banned people, and getting upset when we explain why they're banned.

Just behave please! Don't give people reasons to report DMs to us.

Thanks, have a good night!

@Jordan-Loser Lying is part of being human, it's human nature to lie, and if someone ever tells you they've never lied, guess what? They just did.

Now, maybe some people have more conscious minds than others. some people lie for good reason, some people are pathological liars and lie about things that don't matter. It's just the way of the world. You learn trust through time and experience.

I apologize in advance if this is a bit long, I'm going to try to keep it short and sweet as best I can.

To start, this post isn't meant to hurt or offend anyone, and if it does, that isn't my intention.

I've been pretty open about who I am to everyone I talk to, and those who know me are aware of that. But just to put it out there, yes, I am an adult, I am married, and if I'm not at work, I'm most likely high. Most people know that already, so what's this post about then?

In light of recent events involving an individual who I will not name, I just wanted to make it absolutely crystal clear to everyone on MPP/MPPC that I'm not here to make friends, acquaintances, etc. I'm an adult and that's not exactly a smart move on my part, therefore I chose not to. I'm simply here for the entertainment and that's it. I hang out in my room and roam around others to see what interesting conversations I can find. Unlike some people, I have self control and I take pride in that.

Now, that doesn't mean I hate you, or your friends, or whatever. I don't hate anyone, I just choose to distance myself from people as best as I can because as an adult on a piano/chat site, that's probably my best option. It's nothing against anyone, and I'm sorry if that disappoints anyone in particular. I would hope most people would understand that, coming from an adult.

I'm still open to advice, small talk and conversation and whatnot as per usual. I love giving advice, helping others is a big passion of mine, but that doesn't cross any lines that I don't want to cross, and I intend to keep it that way.

Like I said, I don't mean to offend anyone, I just wanted to make perfectly clear that my intensions are good, and despite being an adult, I'm always open to advice/conversation, but I am an adult, and intend to behave in a manner appropriate as such.

Thank you for reading all of that.

Have a nice day everyone!!

Hello, it is I, Captain Presto, here to talk about some things again.

Are you dealing with drama, or people that are causing an unsettling vibe?

No worries, if you're dealing with these things and are worried you might get banned, here are some tips for staying on the up and up.

Don't get involved.

   See, when you get involved with drama, you present yourself no better than the person who started it. Simply ignore it, walk away, if it's concerning you, or hurting others, tell a moderator or an adult.

Be aware!

   Note the site's policies on bullying and discrimination. If you think someone's being treated unfairly or you are being treated unfairly yourself, tell someone, get a mod and we will handle it calmly and anonymously. And remember, even if someone's being a a flaming bimbo, that doesn't give you the right to be rude or toxic. 

Take a deep breath.

    If all else fails, and something or someone is really bothering you, get up, take a deep breath, maybe take a walk, get a drink, and just try to relax. The world is harsh and full of degenerate people. That doesn't mean you have to join them. There's never a need for violence or hurtful behavior.

       So, if you believe something sinister is going on, and there's drama happening, follow these steps to ensure you're on the right side of the tracks!

Have a nice day everyone! 🤗

Why did this turn into a huge argument? Lets relax and take it to Dms if you have a problem with someone.

Look guys,

I get it, life is hard, people are hard to deal with sometimes, and friends come and go. Through my years I've had to go through many friends, groups, enemies, etc., shit happens.

But the way I see it, no matter what the scenario is, the way I deal with it, is not dealing with it. I don't talk to people, I don't hang out with anyone here, hell I barely post, and I'm perfectly happy and drama free.

My advice/lesson for today is, the less involved you get with friends/enemies/drama, the easier it will be to let it go, because we all have to let go eventually. Take life with a grain of salt, and don't give in to the drama, live a happier, less stressful life. 😁

Thank you for your time!

@Xay-Is-Hot-Duh Yknow, i was doing really nicely today, got a promotion at work, had some drinks with my boss, things were wonderful...

then i saw this, my day is ruined

Sometimes, people can block out the truth to keep living happily. It's common, and honestly if your friend wants to keep dealing with that, i think you should let them live that way, sooner or later they'll snap out of it and realize that their emotional wellbeing is more important than not letting go.

Toxic was banned for a very good reason, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, take it to DMs, thanks. :)

@welmyymelmyy My mother has been pretty open about me being a disappointment for my entire 24 years of existence. I've learned to ignore it and just do what makes me happy. If she doesn't like it, who cares. I'm not trying to impress her anymore. In life you shouldn't focus on those who are cheering for your downfall, bringing you down and trying to exclaim your mistakes. Shoo them off and focus on those who are cheering you on, hoping for your upbringing. Things will be okay, Just don't listen to her.

@Calistaa I dont remember

@Calistaa it's fockin mingin that's why

@Calistaa Wait why?

I remember vaguely talking about Calypso with someone, was that you?

Sorry I have shitty memory.

Alright, Im locking this.

Toxic isn't getting unbanned anytime soon, Maybe, MAYBE, Possibly, it could change sometime in the future, but as far as I see it, and the rest of the mod team see it, He was banned for good reason, let it go.

@izzy-lolll Good luck with that.

@izzy-lolll April 1st, in the year 29402

@Duchess It says 4/1, but look at the year.

Toxic was banned for the same thing 3 times (not including on MPP), within 2 months. He's likely not getting unbanned anytime soon.

@Calistaa I had a pretty rough time with my dad when i was growing up, he was also an alcoholic.

He used to get so mad at me for the tiniest thing, but my brother would get the light end of it all because both my parents liked him more, and they were very vocal about it.

I used to get bruises and beatings until i learned to fight back. then my parents separated. At that point it was basically choosing to live with my piece of shit dad or my druggie, irresponsible mother.

I chose the latter, and when i was 18, with the snap of a finger i was on my own.

I'm sorry you have to deal with your father, and it's nice to hear it's at least somewhat getting better. Parents can be harsh, but you can get through it, just stay strong.

Happy Birthday!
