Yes, in fact, there is a fair possibility I would not be who I am today if I did not get muted.
Back in April 2018, one of my friends reported me two months after getting killed in a Speed EggWars game and raging hard in party chat. Back then, I could have easily been called one of those toxic tryhards, all I cared about was my Speed EggWars leaderboard and having fun with my friends.
The mute hit me with reality though - I was feeling incredibly remorseful after seeing how I have been looking in people's eyes and what that behavior managed to get me to. Dropped a few tears of happiness after I got unmuted because old evidence : ' ) - the genuine happiness was due to the fact I considered this place my second home and this was a second chance for me to prove myself without having people see the shameful past.
That is how I joined the forums - I had huge desire of proving to be better and wanted to know if I had managed to ruin my chances of obtaining a staff role someday. Everything started with something as small as a mute and interest in a staff role, and grew into something so big, full of great relationships, constant personal development, huge achievements, and much stronger connection with this second home than ever before. Today I am an Admin alongside the person who muted me, @Younisco :P
That is why guys, the past does not matter. The here and now, and the future, are the things that truly matter.
