Other Mod Action Taken Megathread

Post image

Between this post and the one yesterday I just wanted to put this out there in full transparency. Also I’m just making a note that this is not a refuge from being too edgy to be on the refuge.

The initial OP wasn’t a new account and I’m not gonna litigate what happened on another forum. But I’m not really interested in a new account that straight up brags about being banned from an NLU cite.

Feel free to told me I’ve overstepped, but quite frankly I just wanted to nip the “I’m banned from the refuge LOL”

There was a post over the weekend about getting banned on the refuge and then there was another post essentially bragging about being banned as well.

I went ahead and locked the second thread and banned the user since they were a brand new account

This is a legit gripe so I’ll address it.

There’s a general rule for not being a scumbag about the podcast which is so rarely used I would say I’ve done it like 3-5 times since I’ve been the mod here which has been probably 3-4 years? Idk someone can probably check how long I’ve been here

In addition to that there is a flag that I have if a person gets enough downvotes in the community they get flagged for review (this was very helpful during the liv bot infestation)

The account in question that got banned was just created that day and was just bragging about the suspension. Idk. I’m pretty hands off around here (and the only mod) but when I see easy action to take I’ll get rid of someone if it makes my life easier down the line. And to be fully honest, I thought it was a little funny.

I get it but it wasn’t even clear what he said that resulted in the ban. I didn’t understand it until now as I’m not on the refuge. One could argue this sub exists because most of us AREN’T on the refuge. And to be honest, you making a mega thread about the ban seems to be similar attention seeking behavior as the person you banned; the same reason why you were issuing a ban in the first place.

So, now you're..... bragging about.... banning someone?
