This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin' in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

Dude, you're pissed off at one group of people (actually, it looks like one specific person) and attacking a totally different group because of it. That's what is going to get you banned. But it also sounds like that's what you want to happen, so I guess enjoy that.
If it's one specific person, shouldn't the rest of you, y'know, do something about it?
What do you expect me to do about the one specific person they are pissed off at? Even if they are justifiably pissed off, what exactly do you think it is in my power to do?
I'd assume that the rest of the mods could stop a rogue mod from blatantly abusing their power. But if you can't, nevermind.
First of all, Jordan is in no way a "rogue mod."
Secondly, Ten Forward mods (and mods in other communities that have nothing to with this) can't do anything about News mods. This guy is just taking it out on us because he apparently can't take it out on who he wants to take it out on. And they're reporting a ton of posts.
They reported a fucking meme with Picard holding a gun for fuck's sake. I didn't even know any of this shit was going on until this started.
Oh Jordan is absolutely a rogue mod and always has been. I've seen his work before.
Dude regularly removes stuff that doesn't break any rules.
Okay well that's really not Ten Forward's problem or Lemmy Shitpost's problem. He doesn't mod in either of those. There are admins for a reason. This is just this person childishly annoying people who had nothing to do with it.
Fair. But regular users can't do anything about it so we're bringing it to the attention of other moderators in the hopes that they can help.
That other guy's "protest" is misguided, but what the fuck else can we do?
I bet you could create a community on that instance, and then you'd be a mod too and have just as much power as the dude above.
That's fair. I was frustrated and typing fast so not all of my logic in this thread is sound.
There's a lot of options on how to contact the admin right on the front page of lemmy.world. I am guessing that was not tried before this childish "I'm going to flag Picard memes because I'm mad" bullshit.
Cool, I use an app on my phone so I've never seen that page. Thanks.
Also, !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
And enjoy Lemmy's further decline into Reddit 2.0.
Or is that going to get me banned too?
