    I received an infraction on After Hours for trolling when I was actually taking part in the argument, just from a different angle to the other users.

    The moderator who infracted me as good as admitted he was using selective modding as he said he was aware of an infinite number of abusive posts about me in the thread but hadn't the time to check them.

    He was also extremely aggressive with me, basically threatening me with a ban if I continued to post in the thread. I was also sent a link to a close account form by the same moderator which is hardly very welcoming by a representative of the website.

    Hi there. It is unclear if your issues are from mod posts or PMs. Can you please forward me a copy of your PM conversation with the mod &/or links to any relevant posts by you & the mod in the thread concerned.

    Thanks,

    The mod has kindly forwarded me the PM exchange. Do you still contend that the following statements are relevant to your appeal & are a true reflection of the circumstances?

    Let's take this one as an example.

    I would imagine that this was in response to this part of your PM - "Ban me, close my account. I don't want to stay where I am not wanted..."

    The way in which you phrased it above, one would believe that the mod was encouraging you to close your account; when in fact they were merely trying to help you as it is up to members to close their own accounts - not mods.

    If there is anything you wish to change in your original appeal - feel free to start again. If not, I will proceed based on the information provided already & give my ruling on that basis.

    Thanks,

    tHB

    No feedback from the OP to my request above.

    The infraction stands. It is also worth noting that given the exaggerated & misleading claims made in the appeal, the OP is lucky not to have had a harsher mod action applied.
