Kerotan said: Since when did I get my own thread? Anyway I'd like to protest my last ban. I'll get to the actual ban later but first I'd like to protest the ban length. I was banned for 7 days despite the fact it was almost 5.5 months since I was last banned for trolling. And way back then it was only 5 days I got. I should have only been banned for a day this time. The last actual ban I got was in this thread and was almost 4.5 months ago because I refused to listen to Carl when I was going on about how biased the mods are against me. That ban went under other and not trolling. So first things first *if this ban was legit it should be reduced to 1 day or even just a warning. |
We work with the 6 Month "rule" that your progression will be lowered. Your last ban for trolling was in March, while your last overall ban was mid-April. CGI isn't wrong to hit you with the 7 days. We do offer people leeway from time to time when the 6 Months is close, however, you've been on the radar recently for your manipulative posts like the ones which got you banned here so progression was carried out.
I skipped progression to 14 days for your previous one because you were being extra annoying.

Advanced forms of trolling are something that the mod team needs to look into.

This just means you want us to focus entirely on your post history.

Pretty much this. Rol is a master manipulator. He feels he can troll and get away with it whilst also going on a crusade to get others banned.
I've never seen trolling as advanced as Rol's. Considering he has 50 moderations, despite the fact the progressive ban system doesn't seem to fairly apply to him, if the mod team looked into advanced trolling he'd be gone from here a long long time by now.

Rol knows he can't get away with it when he pushes things over the line, which is why his mod history is far more extensive than your own.
He's been banned 3 times in 2017 and his progression has followed suit each time. 1 Day, 3 Days, 5 Days. Rols progression has been reset a couple times since 2015 after 6 Months of no bans and 10 Months of no bans. While Rol is a known troll, his brand of trolling isn't really malicious and it's not really worthy of moderation. He targets specific people to poke holes in their arguments while showing how ridiculous they're being. Where Rol goes wrong is his need to call people idiots, which we deal with.
Other kinds of trolling come from people who report the people they're targetting or show fake enthusiasm for something to get a rise out of people.

You conveniently left out the positive part.
But I shouldn't even have to include that, because I'm entitled to my opinion. However I made the effort to be positive regardless.

Anything before the word "but" is usually rubbish to hide the real point someone is making. People know you, people know your history and people can see what the intent is behind those posts.
