Of course he's not a bad person, or a bad user of the site, he just straddles the line sometimes of what is acceptable, and sometimes he will cross it.

I fail to comprehend your post.

That opener? Trying to remove credibility?

Second line the majority seems to agree argument? But it aint about the majority but how the rules are applied so a wrong statement again. Line about old post being irrelavant, doesnt even matter since thats not related to the ban.

Last line trying to discredit again.

Which is leaving me to wonder why create a wrong statement and whats your gain in this?

To be fair, I don't peruse most of the big 3's threads unless it's related to a game or topic I'm interested in so I don't see much of that stuff but sometimes it just seems you guys take this shit too personally. 

My phone is screwing up quoting and making text massive suddenly...

Anyway, no the reason given for the ban wasn't about baiting or irrelevance, but it should have been. It was an negative, controversial and frankly embarrassing comment one of the new mods had made in the past, how could it have been brought up out of the blue because of anything other than malicious intent?

Also the opening line is simply pointing out that you and Rol have acted like two peas in a pod recently and joking with it a little, don't take it too seriously. I don't see how that comment could even discredit anything.

Which is? xD

Its called banter

I understand that having experience in both sides is beneficial, I still don't understand the reason behind your post and how it was supposed to be beneficial, it just looks like bringing up a skeleton out of the closet with zero prompting to do so.

But when there's people breathing down their necks, waiting for them to slip up and make a mistake to kick up a fuss about it, it's no surprise the moderators aren't more active in this thread.

Besides the rest of the team is only found on discord 

There is a good reason for it... That I will not get into.
However, just because some mods aren't commenting doesn't mean they aren't paying attention.

I fully support Angelus in everything he has done up to this point. He has done a terrific job thus far.

I tend to be on the opposite timezone to the other mods and that is usually when the forum is extremely quiet, so I haven't really had much "work" to do.
Whether you are decided on me as an individual? I couldn't care less, that isn't my problem. - But I will treat you the same as every other individual, regardless of position I hold on this site.

I'm going to just address this portion of your post, because most of the rest of it isn't something I've had any hand in.

Now, just to remind everyone, this is the post you got banned for: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8816040

Specifically, this part:
"On the plus side, now it might be allowed to express the opinion that the thought of having sex with a transsexual person is disgusting."

It's your contention that the mod team rushed to ban you on false grounds. You believe that because your post doesn't contain hate speech, it can't possibly have implied the mod team would be lax on hate speech moving forward. That makes no logical sense to me whatsoever. A statement can imply all manner of things that it doesn't implicitly contain. In fact, you yourself are now making that very argument by implying that what you actually meant with that statement was more along the lines of "good that we now have this moderator who has a reasonable grasp of where the line is." An interpretation which, frankly, requires a much further leap, than the rather straightforward one myself, and the rest of the mod team had of it. If that's truly what you meant to say there, it was completely lost on me, and I suspect most other users who read it. After all, if it were so clear, we wouldn't have received any reports of the post, right?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you did in fact mean what you say you meant, but even so, given the wording of what you actually typed, I stand by the moderation completely.

Also, whatever bias you believe the mod team has towards you (whether that's true or not), I don't fall in that camp. I actually quite like most of your posts. You're clever. Not always to your benefit, but clever nevertheless.

In closing, I'll say briefly that those contestgamer posts you brought up….well, they're ugly. I believe they should have been moderated. I believe in the future, posts like that absolutely would be moderated. They don't change however, that your ban was - in my opinion - entirely justified.
