I mean, a six day temp ban for being a dick? That’s what mods are supposed to do, keep assholes from assholing more than the bare minimum. And that’s coming from an asshole that has, and probably will again, been banned temp and permanent for being an asshole.

Like, once you start calling names, you’re off topic, and disrupting the community. You don’t need a warning, you don’t need the rules explained, because you didn’t care in the first place. If you had, you would have just blocked whatever asshole you were insulting and moved on.

I get it, sometimes you just gotta slap back. It’s a human thing.

But when you do, you need a cool down time. A week is just about right for most people to chill the fuck out and get over it. Some take less, some take longer, but a week is just about right.

It’s one of those things where if you’re being a dick, you take your lumps and that’s that. You don’t go whining about the moderation.

A mod lets shit slide like that ends up up with entire threads of bullshit to deal with, and all the other users that decided to jump in are now also fucking up the community spreading the drama. So, yeah, you got a temp ban. You should have. If it had been permanent, you’d have something to complain about on a first offense, though imo, it would be justified as well since we’re all supposed to be grown ass adults that shouldn’t need to be told to play nice. But complaining about it would be justified too.

Now, if the other person was also being an asshole and didn’t get a temp ban, that’s bullshit.
