I think we could look at you being admin in the future once you keep your nose clean on forums and stop getting banned or almost banned on them. You need to try to have and then keep a good reputation on all forums including ones that Cedric runs and also the likes such as Forum Promotion.

At the time being I've already got one paid staff on board and i really can't afford to pay two.

I want to start by saying that I’ve always had respect for [B]FP[/B] and what it represents. I’ve been a member for 10 years, and in that time, I’ve contributed to the community in various ways because I genuinely care about its success and the people involved. My issue isn’t with FP itself—far from it. The problem is with Cedric, and it feels like, no matter what I do, he’s had something out for me for reasons I can’t fully understand.

Over the years, I’ve tried to be the bigger person. I’ve reached out to him multiple times to try and resolve whatever the issue might be. I’ve sent messages, extended olive branches, and even involved [B]Aragon[/B] to help mediate and open the lines of communication. But no matter what I do, it feels like my efforts are ignored or dismissed.

This isn’t about ego or pride for me. It’s about fairness, respect, and the ability to contribute to the community without feeling like I’m being unfairly targeted. I’m not asking for special treatment—I just want a fair chance to have a conversation and clear the air. It’s frustrating to feel like I’m being held back by something that could easily be resolved if Cedric were willing to sit down and talk this through.

What makes it even harder is knowing that this isn’t just affecting me—it’s impacting the community as a whole. Unnecessary conflicts like this create division when what we really need is unity. I’ve always believed that forums like FP thrive when members and staff work together, not against each other.

At the end of the day, I’m not looking to stir up drama or dwell on past grievances. I’m here because I care about FP and the relationships I’ve built here. I’ve invested so much time and energy into this community because I believe in its potential and the value it brings to people. But it’s hard to focus on building something positive when there’s this lingering issue that could easily be resolved with a bit of maturity and open communication.

I know I’m not perfect, and if I’ve done something to upset Cedric in the past, I’d like to understand what that was and take accountability for it. I’m not above apologizing if I’ve made mistakes—far from it. But I can’t fix what I don’t know, and I can’t keep trying to reach out if there’s no willingness to meet me halfway.

I’m sharing this because I want to be transparent about how I feel and what I’ve experienced. This situation doesn’t have to stay this way. We’re all part of the same community, and we should be able to work through conflicts like this with mutual respect and understanding.

I’m still open to having that conversation, and I hope Cedric can see that this isn’t about proving who’s right or wrong—it’s about finding a way forward for the betterment of the forum.

Let’s not allow petty and avoidable conflicts to overshadow the great things we can achieve when we work together. I believe in , and I hope we can put this behind us and move forward in a positive direction.
