It's pretty common that people who created an alt account get defensive when someone suspects them of being an alt account. They'd like it to be a secret for whatever reason (not always malicious), but things can get back on track once the cat is out of the bag, because the pressure of keeping it a secret evaporates. This site uses a progressive moderation system where the idea is to give people several chances to improve their behavior. Nintendo Fan Girl flamed numerous people several years ago, but ultimately she decided on her own that coming to this site isn't good for her and made a voluntary exit. As such, she shouldn't be treated differently than someone who had the necessary restraint to stop coming to this site on their own, without the need of having their account banned in order to stop posting. Sure, this doesn't wipe her history on the site, but if everyone else sees their moderation lengths reduced after 6-12 months without moderations, then why shouldn't she get the same rights? You, the mod team, treated her as if she had been forcibly permabanned. Earlier this week we got a goodbye thread from Helloplite where the cause was a wrongful moderation. I assume any conversation he had with the mod team ended with the conclusion that he had to deal with it and move on. Which he unfortunately did. In this thread it has been discussed that moderation plays a role in keeping this place alive. This topic isn't only a question of how to get new users to sign up, it's also about user retention rates. When I look around and see how the mod team treats users like Nintendo Fan Girl and Helloplite while o_O.Q returns from moderations, continues to do his thing and is not taken care of despite actual moderators engaging with him directly in threads, then I have to tell the mod team one thing: You are doing it wrong. It just doesn't make any sense that you treat members who are liked in this community worse than members who are not only disliked, but universally loathed. |

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
