  • Hi, the critizied, accused and power-tripping mod here.

    Not adding something to the debatable merging discussion, which sure can be a talked about and is even talked bout at other places, and now here again.

    The perspective missing is, that a team of mods, even of other communities talked about the course of action. Reason is, that I’m quite new to moderation, and I did not want to overreact. People native to the instance decided to stick with the community, and the debatable vote added weight to that sentiment. One guy brought the topic up over and over again and tried to position an alternative community instead of adding content to both communities.

    Other mods recommended to ban him for a week or for good. I decided to engage in communication and asked to postpone discussing that issue in that particular community. Also I asked to stop gurilla advertising another commiunithy while that community was in a built up phase.

    After futile mitigation attempts a 3 days ban, coordinated with about 3+2, mods was applied.

    This is my whole power trip, and I’m so addicted to it, that I onboarded more mods and employed a voting system, so that banning only happens, when no other way of settling an issue can be achieve.

    Edit: The full ban reason was. “Recurring egress linking without providing content for siphoning users. Promotion of community dissolvement.” The textfield was a little small.
