    Banwave?

    Has there been a banwave? Quite a few users are banned without any noticeable infractions.

    I noticed the same thing.

    For whom we should press F?
    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    Can't see that but so far I've seen: YUPPIE, ihavewaffles, Varodoc, RobertoCarlos being banned. Some regulars on the off-topic forums.

    I've noticed this as well. My guess is they've been naughty in Private Messages, either towards mods or other users, which triggered an infraction and got them over the ban threshold.

    I made my annoyance known in that ptsd thread, and why is it still open, and that cost me.

    Makes me wonder what the infraction threshold is for the permaban and how some people haven't hit it yet.
    We're all newbs, some are just more newbier than others.

    Just a burned out hardcore raider turned casual.
    I'm tired. So very tired. Can I just lay my head on your lap and fall asleep?

    MMO Champ mods in a nutshell. Like...I don't even care anymore. Most of my bans are for literal nonsense that never got me a ban on any other platform I'm active on. I got a few legit bans on MMOC, I admit it, but 90% of my bans are fucking BULLSHIT!

    Have you tried, idk, being nice to people? I bet you would interact much less with the mods overall!

    I believe a bit of latitude is given in off-topic since sociopolitical issues do tend to get heated...everywhere.

    I like to think I'm not inherently rude but when whomever i'm currently debating decides they've lost the debate and wants to pull out the "oh i'm not arguing with the edgehog avatar"

    Idk it's a weird annoyance for me. And I start to match their energy. Could I change it? Sure, but then my idiot filter would be turned off and they wouldn't so easily self identify when they've lost the argument

    We do not discuss moderation on the public forums in the first place, and secondly, we do not discuss infractions of third parties with unrelated people. The moderation is between the moderation staff and that particular user and they have their own ways of getting account actions addressed. That is not for the rest of you.

    Closing this here as it is breaking the rules and at best is an avenue for people to express their opinions about moderation, which, if that is what you want, contact a blue (global) moderator through private message.


    CLOSED.
