Announcement: Regarding Recent Moderation Decisions

[Severyane]

I'm writing this on the principle of what we should stand for. Yeah what would happen if I dropped the N-word, no notification there was an investigation and a then the punishment was doled out to me without any proper notification on that incident too MONTHS later with no forewarning? Just because there is a right to, does not mean y'all should.

And no, I don't need some answer saying yeah Flo and Blac totally did it. I do not think they did it just cause, I think they did it for various reasons I've doled out.  I want plain as day clear cut text showcasing the thought process because without all that I am left here thinking yeah it was maybe not a conspiracy but a series of events at least maybe not premeditated but it was with the purpose to bring Flo back instead of Lom.  The rule you cited one: lacks clear harassment on the incident that was used specifically to cite the ban, and two requires inequivocably guilt which in this case can easily be argued was not met. My argument is that the ban was so mishandled that yeah it should be thrown out. One member of the team flat out lied to one person and refused to answer the other, and so I am sorry if it seems if I'm going all conspiracy theory here but I'm on the outside looking in.

I'm also fighting for my friend to get fair treatment and to get him answers too. We all deserve answers.

It just seems to me that what you are arguing for will inherently hurt the community even more. What happens when the next issue arises and the admin team is told by the person who got punished "you revoked Lom's ban so you should revoke mine"? Just because there is apparent mishandling by one member of the admin team does not mean we need to revoke our punishment. Why are we the bad guys here for punishing someone with a very long laundry list of infractions? Why do we need to air out chat logs? Why do we need to be investigated and demonized for temporarily banning someone for using unacceptable language? It just seems like all that everyone wants is for us to not punish people for this stuff. You can keep saying that "he may have deserved to get banned" but until you stop calling for us to go back on our decision, you aren't painting a pretty picture. It's a zero-tolerance rule dude.

On top of it all, the admin you have a problem with has resigned and I've said it to you before and I'll say it once more: Flo came back to tell us that if Lom came back from the ban then he was leaving for good, he did not try to influence our decision on the ban in any way. He came back to ask us if he was coming back from it, we said yes, and then he left again.
