[quote=@Odin]I feel like there was never an instance of rules being broken on either side, nor an intent. What was discussed in my chat (I have never even seen the screenshots because Inkarnate never released them and I am sure he realizes that even if he did I and the others would stand by our words) was not against the rules because we merely discussed our opinions on the moderatorship of RPG and RPG as a whole. [/quote] Released them to Cynder (Cyndyr?) by her request and we had a long storied conversation where we discussed it, actually. I did so publicly in the site’s official discord channel where my argument could be countered, debated, or challenged. I do not have interest in airing dirty laundry in the open with no relative parties involved. [quote=@Odin]But I think the moderators should be held to a higher standard. After all they're the paragons of virtue.[/quote] They’re janitors meant to keep the place efficient, cohesive, and operational – not paragons/wardens/etc. Hasn’t that been Mahz’s viewpoint from the beginning? [quote=@Odin]Please. You know better.[/quote] Perhaps you never would’ve been muted/banned if you did not use combative rhetoric? But you’re right I do “know better” as I’ve been involved left, center, and right of the fence on this. I agree with you that people shouldn’t be banned over inane causes but what you think is inane, what I think is inane, and what the staff thinks is inane are all different things. I have personal opinions that actually support “your side” in the appeal of J8cob and Nyt, by the way. I just am not in support of this spectacle and other factors unrelated to the “unjust ban” issue that from what I know started with Mahz making the ruling solely. I agree with Arena that we will be talking in circles unless Mahz comes back from his absence recovered from his sickness. Though, this conversation is at the least rather useful and will probably remain to be so until Hank makes his public statements.
