I don't see the reason why we need to be more aggressive towards the usual suspects that the mods have a personal grudge against. At least, that's what it comes off as. Whenever I see threads like this, the mods are never against users who are actively spouting hate speech, but there's always a loud chorus of people who are rallying against people that could easily be ignored with common sense.
Zeni's treated differently because he irritates people who have moderation power, and the OKC harassment threads gave them the go-ahead to do whatever Viper wants when he's not managing his graveyard forum that was supposed to blow Luuv out of the water. Fuggz rubs people the wrong way because of whatever fabrication she comes up with is taken more seriously than it needs to. I can't vouch for whether anything people claim on the forums is true or not, but I feel like it's fucking crazy that Stillme was going to go full Inspector Zenigata to try and report her to the cyber police for whatever claim she made about her medication or how every thread she makes has at least one post by Misaka about how she's a fuck cushion because of whatever tinderonis she claims to be going with. Again, she might be putting her kid/mom through some kind of misery, but is it really necessary to wait for the opportunity to perma ban her because you don't like her?
I don't even know why Phillies name is popping up in who needs to be moderated out of existence. Counting down the days of the week isn't an infraction, nor is tapping into gimmicks that annoy you. My best guess is that Viper's grudge has some influence on the other mods, and users just have to moderate off of their own personal vendettas. Bucket's not showing up in anyone's mouth when it comes to moderating violent speech, but y'all are acting like Phillies is coming in your safe space because he made some threads about Miku or the Omen or whatever itches your assholes.
I think if we have to moderate based off of witch hunts, then the moderation team has failed. If it's all about settling scores or trying to make the forum a safe space where nobody posts because anyone that's ever contributed to a conversation is gone, then there's no reason to even stay on. Everyone has their beefs, but solving them through abusing moderation power is beyond bullshit. I'd rather have a lawless forum if the other choice is letting the moderators flaunt and abuse their power in an endless ego trip.
