It was an odd post, I'm straight but I don't really know what the Mod teams sexuality has to do with anything, I wasn't sure if you was accusing the Mod team of hiring people based on sexuality. Nobody knew you was bi either, it may have just been a joke that came across in the wrong way. FWIW I wasn't around for the ban but I did see the post either way and I was thinking "Eh?" unsure exactly what you was getting at with the post, so I can understand another Mod taking it the wrong way if that is what happened.

Ok, fair enough

If you explain yourself to the Mod who issued the ban (not confrontationally, Lol), if it was a genuine misunderstanding, then it may be stricken off your record. FWIW After your explanation I think it was just a joke taken the wrong way? It happens, we aren't mind readers and sometimes jokes come across wrongly in plain text, I wouldn't sweat it, personally, not that I've ever been legit moderated

ok! thanks for the communication, it definitely helps you feel better about it when other mods aren't really supporting the ban.  I appreciate the thoughts, Ryuu

Just to be clear, I'm not saying I didn't support the ban when it was issued, I just wasn't there for the ban, Lol. What I'm saying is that if it genuinely was a bit of miscommunication then it would be worth respectfully stating your case. It happens, a few bans have been reversed if people respectfully! Explain themselves better than what something first came across as. 

I want to believe that it was just a joke taken the wrong way, Lol. Like I said, at first I really wasn't sure what the hell you was trying to imply, Lol. I too jumped into my first thought thinking "Is he trying to say we only hire gay people/only gay people apply to the team? Is he questioning our professionalism?" and I'd be willing to accept that I was wrong to think that in light of new info, but anyway, lets get back on topic.

i wasn't really joking, i was just curious about what has gone on here....... wanted to know the lore behind vgchartz, wanted a story or two told if was extremely lucky and yes it would seem a good idea to get back on topic.

On that note, something that has confused me lately is the fact that i see many russians giving a ton of support for this war online.  They'll even do it anonymously on YT or whatever, telling the soldiers to stay safe and wishing them victory.  But on these russian channels i never see anyone disapproving.  It could be that they are scared to say that they are against everythng but that's not sufficient because they seem so high spirited and gung-ho for victory.  Perhaps they want Russia to go back to its glory days when the soviets were very powerful.  But you would think that many russians would know somebody who died in the war or came back injured and start to realize that this isn't going well for them.
