Ban reversed and comment restored. I’m not sure if it was done by the original mod but it seems like there were some processes in the background and accountability was taken. I’ll call that an un-PTB :3

    Glad you got it fixed. Unfortunately, mods sometimes forget their role is to facilitate conversation, not control it.

      their role is to facilitate conversation, not control it.

      Broadcast it when someone opens up the mod controls, put it on the site banner, print it on a T-shirt.

      It’s actually really valuable even when there is an objectively correct answer, to let the people who understand that correct answer speak with the people who think something else, and let everyone just work things out. Just shutting down anyone who has the “incorrect” opinions right away out of the gate, and telling them they’ll be banned if they keep it up, is some culty nonsense.

    There are a lot of mods who think their job is to remove any opinion that they personally disagree with, in order to keep the conversation “correct.”

    The fact that your opinion here was objectively the correct one is just icing on the cake (and for some reason that additional irony is commonly seen when this mod philosophy is involved, I honestly have no idea why.)

    I won’t say PTB, since it looks like cooler heads prevailed and everything’s fine now, but in my opinion this mod should be scheduled for some additional training or something. IDK, maybe it gets boring if you have the mod controls and it’s a little exciting event whenever you get to jump up and start using them, I don’t really know. Anyway glad it worked out.

      Dude, you had your own instance, I think you have a pretty good idea of what it’s like. lol
