Abusing mod powers - Lets Beef

IV · #1 01-09-2012, 05:27 PM

Okay so, this might just be me... but let me explain a situation. Lets call the mod in question 'Q'

So a member posted 'personal information' about me on the thread, leading him a to a ban, X (tha boss) told mod Q to ban him. Mod Q banned him and was very very happy with his choice to do so, and was saying it was easily a ban-able offence and completely out of line.

Now i'd like to make clear now i don't really care about whatever that member was doing or saying about me or w/e pictures he was posting from my facebook, water under the bridge i dont care... BUT

Later on in the day i accidentally offended moderator Q by saying making a suggestion and not realising i had said something offensive, i apologised when he told me i had caused offence.

A couple hours later i see the banned member post a new thread, i questioned it because he had been banned, and had orders from admin to be banned.. so i asked moderator Q about it, and he told me he had unbanned him.

Now i ask...

why would mod Q - who was so eager to tell me about him banning the member for being so out of line and quite proud he had lost his ban-hammer virginity - suddenly decide to un-ban the member once i had ACCIDENTALLY caused him offence, and swiftly apologise for the offence caused but he was too much of a bitch to accept it and move on from it when i didn't KNOW it was offensive.

Mod Q is new. I don't mean to put you down at all here V but it's a learning curve, he's probably been bombarded by the member in question and folded based on abuse/ill advice.

I sincerely hope it's nothing more sadistic than that anyway. I also hope this thread doesn't cost you a ban for hurting feelings by being honest; it doesn't merit a ban but if the mod in question hasn't developed the thick-skin or level head required yet it may be seen as offensive.

Edit: this isn't criticism, merely interest in the case at hand.

The offence he took was nothing to do with the ban, but yes it could be a learning curb, or it could be something personal. Either way if i get banned for this it's a joke lol
