Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

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.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- 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.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
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.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
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.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- 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.

Consider this my reply also. I mean, at least they finally admitted the withholding status was granted (even if they turned that into 'six years after he was supposed to be deported!') but still. Even the "I don't know what site that is" nonsense when we provide actual court documents... it's clear they just googled 'evidence of what I want to be true' and went with the first thing.
Not worth my effort. Good luck, EpeeGnome.
I've never said that it wasn't. I've said many times that he had a withholding status, but that it doesn't matter due to the invocation of the illegal alien act.
So it's impossible for a person to not know exactly who owns or runs a site that showed up on google? You guys can't be serious lol. Again - the site does not matter if what they are reporting is verifiably true, which it was. What exactly is the issue with the site that I linked? Neither of you have actually pointed that out lol
Court documents that say the exact thing you're saying they DON'T say lol.
You: "Waaaah no judges said he is an MS-13 member, here's the proof!"
Also You: links to legal documents that mention multiple times that 2 judges determined him to be an MS-13 gang member
lol
Shit, I didn't think you had problems with reading comprehension. Sorry, let me be clearer.
When I said, "consider this my reply also," it meant "I'm no longer interested in talking to you."
When I said, "Not worth my effort," it meant "I'm no longer interested in talking to you."
And for perfect clarity, when I say, "I'm no longer interested in talking to you," I mean, "I know you're going to reply because you're that type, but I'm no longer interested in talking to you." This is my last reply to you.
It's cool. I have a learning disability, too. Glad I could help. Have a good one.
That doesn't mean I'm not going to reply to you. I'm going to reply to your post, and it's up to you if you want to reply again or not. You said you wouldn't - that's fine with me...........yet here you are :)
You don't get to choose when I stop replying to you, I do. Just don't reply if you don't want to :)
Clearly. Good on you for being upfront about it.
