My "grudge" here was intended to motivate someone -- anyone -- from the ScoreHero community to take enough interest to work on the article here, otherwise, what's the point in even hosting it on this site, if nobody cares enough to caretake it? That being said, I'm glad my stubborn reaction did in fact motivate you to "fix" the situation. Are you a ScoreHero member or moderator? -- [[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 05:34, 19 July 2008 (PDT)

I sent you an email in reply, but I'll paste a copy of it here for records sake.
RE: Grudge on ScoreHero
Unfortunately, it IS a Scorehero rule that advertisment of other websites is forbidden, unless it is done through the use of signatures. I know it seems stupid, but even though your intentions were well-mannered, you were still breaking a rule by posting about the site. I'm not the one who controls the rules, but if I did, trust me, I'd remove that rule. Other than that, I feel Scorehero is run extremely well - the community is a strong one and there's a distinct lack of idiots. When an idiot does crop up (generally in the Software section <_<), they're dealt with smoothly and efficiently.
I saw the post in question, and trust me, rkcr isn't generally an insulting person. He's proven to be of great benefit to the Scorehero community, and feels strongly about holding it together. I think this was why he made the post, although he probably did take it a little too far. The internet is like that - people will always misinterpret actions and arguments crop up much more easily than in the "real world", so to speak. I know you don't like it, but you'll need to just put it behind you - internet arguments are never a good thing. I will take this opportunity to apologise on his behalf - once again, he doesn't generally act that way towards others.
I'm a long-time Scorehero member (since 10th June 07) and I'm an active user, browsing the forums every day and with over 1770 posts to my name. I also try to contribute to the community by helping proof the cutoffs for songs, and I plan on donating once I can get a credit card (I'm 16). While I do play Guitar Hero quite a bit, I enjoy the community side of Scorehero more than the actual game.
I'll understand if you no longer want to be a part of Scorehero, but if you'd still like to use the forums, use a proxy to sign up for a new account. Back when I made my original account, I accidentally typo'd a score without realising, putting it several hundred thousand above the true first place score. The account was banned for this, but I wanted to get back into the community and figured a proxy would bypass the IP ban. Once I'd signed up for the new account, I found that I didn't need to use the proxy anymore, it was only needed for signing up.
One word of advice, though - don't advertise the fact that you have an old account, or that you used a proxy in order to sign up for a new one. There have been cases of people making threads asking why their old accounts were banned. >_>
