So I look in the modlog from time to time. There’s been some actions I’ve seen that I don’t agree with, but there is no way to see the context, so I’ve never spoke up. But today I saw something that concerned me. I’m just going to copy/paste the modlog so you see what I see.

I don’t know who this guy is, or who the mod is, but essentially this guy is getting banned for being liberal.

Or am I misreading the situation???

    I banned them for reporting a post about killing nazis for being against site rules (it’s not) and for the offending post “glorifying violence”. I don’t need that neolib shit on this instance. I did not know it was going to list every community on this instance they’re now banned from in the modlog.

      Had the user reported stuff like that before and been told specifically that it wasn’t rule-breaking? Jumping straight to banning someone who may have genuinely thought they were being helpful seems like an unfair extreme response.
