I don't think people should take conversations with moderators that are meant to be private to the public and contribute nothing of worth by doing so.
The situation could have been resolved without any of the shitposting and trying to stir up some sort of a controversy. Every person that made a thread about it just showed how big mad they are for no reason, what's the point?
To me it seems like people just like trash talking any sort of authority just because that's "cool" and they will feel good of themselves after every cool kid backs them up.
ah yes because getting banned for selling ingredients is a completely normal thing that does not deserve attention at all nope
have you even read the threads
@bloww Do you have full knowledge of this particular situation and based off what information the moderator executed the ban on the person? If not, I'm not sure how can you make such statements.
This situation could have been peacefully resolved if the person just waited for their appeal to be reviewed like usual, instead they decided to just show how extremely mad and upset they are just because they are immature.
its completely justified. without the thread the appeal wouldve taken days or weeks to be checked. its fine to make mistakes, but what happened here was completely justified. this wouldnt have happened in the first place if the mods werent completely unprofessional, its not up to the players to do their job and act professional when theyre the ones who keep making mistakes again and again and again
not only that but the second thread was closed for no reason at all, they just didnt want discussion about the subject. its not like the thread was asking for the mods to reply, it was (well, it wouldve been if it wasnt locked instantly) just a civil discussion between the players about something thats been very touchy for a long time now
I don't completely disagree with you that the fact it could have taken so long is very troubling, but I still think the situation was handled very poorly from the victims perspective.
As I said multiple times, we will never know really based off what information the moderator made this decision.
I think the thread could have brought the attention of the mass in a way better manner than it did, generally explaining their issue with the situation and asking the moderator team to take more precautions when it gets to cases like this, instead of just basically calling them a joke which is disrespectful.
I realize that the moderator team has a lot of issues regarding many aspects of it, but to be frank, it has been ran like this since the dawn of time and I'm surprised people still didn't cope with some of it.
I think it's reasonable for the second thread to be locked because the situation was taken care of after the original thread and I'm pretty sure everyone knows that nothing of value would have came out of it just like it always happens
The first thread was just him explaining a bad judgment from the mods and saying he was upset about it. That was closed because mods don't want internal stuff to be public which is ok i guess?
The second thread on the other hand which was a discussion about how the mods work. Closing that one was really bad. It just shows that the mods don't want to talk about how they are acting. And we need to keep pushing for more transparency and demanding a just ban or else it'll just get worse and worse. We don't want the mods to be like the KGB (pretty harsh comparison but you get it).
People discussing how mods work when almost none of them know how they actually do, very nice.
I don't see why certain things need crystal clear transparency and how it's going to get worse if they don't get transparent?
It's not like the moderator team have the urge to just ban people for fun?
Mods doing things in the dark is a bit shady. It makes the mods and players disconnected, players might not trust mods as much if they don't know how they work.
I don't think mods ban for fun but tehy ban for wrong reasons. Teaching the mods how to work and removing bad ones is a good step.
I don't think it's necessary for us to know of every step a moderator takes. If they ban someone that person knows for what reason they have been banned and if they want to share it with someone they are free to do so.
"if they want to share it with someone they are free to do so." but that's the exact opposite of what just happened. A mod closed the thread. That's what i don't like. A dude was banned, talked about it, thread closed. Another dude discussed the closing of the thread, thread closed.
I don't think you realize that releasing private DMs is different from just stating the reason of why you got into trouble. There was nothing to discuss, the situation got quickly resolved and people just want to spur controversy
I'm not going to go any longer on this, because I think I've stated every argument already and for me they make perfect sense and I literally get almost the same response to them over and over again, rather not go in circles anymore.
