| gergroy said: I actually think the kowen moderation is probably fine. He went a bit over the line defending himself. Kind of the equivalent of getting baited. I am not too sure about the jaywood ban though. Has he been giving warnings previously for "spam" in the mod thread? |
Moderation note from Torillian (overseen from other mods in ModChat): You had to know that just quoting the post and saying "dumb ban" was going to qualify as spam and a general attack on a moderator. If you want to see a post that would actually be ok and is against a moderation you only have to look to the post directly above your own. Please feel free to argue Kowen's or your own ban in a similar manner to Fatslob's post when you return.
The rules broken are from the OP:
- The Big One: We are open to all kinds of critiques, feedback, and concerns, but doing so must be done in a manner that is professional, respectful, and above all else, backed up with evidence and facts. Any baseless or unsupported accusation or criticism has no potential to serve anyone and therefore can be treated as spam and/or an unfounded attack on a moderator.
- Breaking any of these rules can and will result in a moderation against you. So please be respectful of the parameters we have set in place.
It just so happened that Tor classified it as spam. Could have been flaming.
And yes, I have personally notified Jay that he has stepped over the line when it's come to the rules found in the OP, once via a PM and another via a post in here.
