I appreciate that the mod in question was able to own up and admit a mistake, whereas I had assumed that "A week-long ban was too severe" would be the official excuse for why my ban was rescinded early.

Obviously I'm grateful that the ban was removed at all, too.

But [@Nytem4re] brings up an interesting point: if I was able to get away with my signature being forcibly altered/edited against my will, why was another user banned for what is effectively the same transgression? Furthermore, whereas that "no Discord drama" rule exists [i]now[/i], it did not exist at the time of that user's ban, so one could even argue that I deserve the stricter punishment.

And yes, I know it's claimed that j8cob did more to deserve a ban before that; that the offensive signature was a "last straw" of sorts. Although it's natural that under the "We don't discuss bans" rule, [i]the public[/i] hasn't seen these reasons, apparently j8cob hasn't seen them either, and in fact has no idea what he did to build up this hay-bale in the first place.

It's just fishy overall, considering that shitposting and "trolling" are rather common here, and hardly grounds for a penal response.
