[Resolved] Inconsistent treatment

Jequ0n

I would like to have an explanation why my post on the “The sexual abuser who was born with Thalidomide defects” thread was deleted and got warning points, while other posts with the same content were kept on thread.

I do not expect the warning points to be removed, and I would like to have an explanation why my post was treated differently to others. This is not the first time that I was handed warning points + a forum ban for “trolling” by the same moderator who refuses to engage in PM discussions. It is frustrating and I am tired of being accused of trolling for having a different opinion to the moderator.

This is the post that I got a warning point for, and which was also deleted.

“The victims were 17-24 years olds. It’s not unreasonable to question why they went along with this, and why they were asked to assist the teacher in the first place. It’s not victim blaming.”

If you check the thread you can see that it was in relation to a discussion which was kept undeleted, and therefore presumably not as “offensive” as my post. I would really like to understand how my post warranted a warning and deletion, while the main discussion was allowed to remain.

Thank you.

Are you appealing the warning? The purpose of this forum is appeals, not discussing other posters or moderation.

Jequ0n

Yes, I am, because I don’t think I should have received this warning given the context and rationale provided.

Have you PM'd the moderator in question?

Jequ0n

Yes, on June 3rd. As usual I did not get a response.

PM'ing the mod is the first step. Can you bump it?

Jequ0n

Sure. Though I did complete step 1 by sending the PM and getting ignored.

Jequ0n

Moderator did reply but refuses to clarify my questions regarding their decision, so can you please have a look at it.

ancapailldorcha

Can you post the PM exchange here?

Jequ0n

thanks

Is this being looked at?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

I'm upholding this as it is textbook victim blaming. Your defence is to ask about other users which is not a defence.

Let me know if you would like an admin to review.

Jequ0n

Yes, I would like an admin to review. I am questioning why I received this warning/ post deletion and others did not.

Thanks

ICYMI @awec or @Beasty or @Big Bag of Chips or @Mickeroo the OP has exhausted all avenues of appeal and has requested an admin review please.

Cheers.

Hi @Jequ0n ,

I have reversed this warning as I feel other posters made similar comments that were not sanctioned.

awec.
