Technically [email protected] is not against instance rules, but it feels like it should be. Is there really such a subr***it that’s allowed to operate?
I’ve previously made posts with unpleasant vote ratios and have also been met with criticism/constructive criticism but haven’t resorted to shooting out bans.
The primary issue is that they’ve displayed their inability to take criticism and resorted to using mod powers as their chosen immediate action.
- shoot first ask questions later
I personally feel that all credibility and rationality is thrown out the window due to this observed behavior.
An instant ban like this is definitely a PTB in itself.
Does that community have 1 subscriber and 6 users? Does that count the mod?
@[email protected] I don’t think the reason message displayed here is acceptable for a mod of this instance.
Plus seems horrible to have a community dedicated to review bombing places
Well, we don’t have any details about the interaction that led to the ban, so no way to be certain it’s a power tripBut, when someone is being that much of a dick in the removal note, it is definitely a red flag. Even if the ban is justified, that’s douchey as hell.
Edit: the comment is actually visible for me.
Go make a botnet if you want review bombs on command. We’re not here to help you with your petty issues.
While I definitely think some kind of mod action would be justified, since the comment that was made is dickish and unnecessary, responding that way just isn’t cool. It’s an extra layer of douchebaggery.
So, I can’t agree it’s power tripping, because the comment was definitely worthy of the action. If all you can do is pop into a thread and be a dick, a ban is totally justified.
But, this is definitely an asshole mod because of the removal reason. If you’re gong to be a dick as a mod, do it in the thread, in the open, and just issue the ban without the bullshit.
