    Hi,

    Can I get some clarification why I was banned please. And is this how your mods are supposed to reply to people?

    Hi Hoboo,

    I can look at this for you. Is that the full exchange between you and Necro?

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Hi Hoboo,

    This was the post that you got the sanction for:

    This is clearly a condescending post and is worthy of a sanction. Your last sanction was a warning but the one before that was a one month ban so I think it's fair to say that a three month ban is warranted at this point.

    "Don't be a d*ck" has long been the cardinal rule of this site. Vulgar phrasing aside, it's not unreasonable to request that people be civil. Therefore, I am upholding this.

    Please let us know if you want an admin to review.

    Thanks for your reply, however I didn’t appeal the ban. It was only a request for clarification which I haven’t received, and confirmation of the expectations on Mods when interacting with users, customers, clients.

    Requesting people to be civil while using vulgarity. Not sure how that works?

    Comprehending a post in text as condescending is completely subjective. If you disagree with the content and if it hits a nerve of course you will find it condescending, regardless of the intended tone of the author. For record, it wasn’t. It just hit a nerve.

    Personal attacks are permitted though, by users and by mods, even the use of vulgarity. That’s now clear.

    The continuous censorship by mods of anyone who disagrees with the status quo , and groupthink, are now systematic within CA threads. Some of the toxic and off topic comments continually permitted and even agreed with by Mods are testament to this. It’s clear as day there is promotion of an underlying political agenda across multiple threads at this stage, and censorship of any dissenting voices.

    And to reiterate, this isn’t an appeal. Thanks for your reply and best of luck 👍

    The mods can point out you're being a dick, in line with the site rules. They can also tell you not to be a dick, in line with the site rules.

    If you tell someone to not be a dick that is considered backseat moderation and you'll probably be warned.

    To clarify, the Moderators are allowed use the phrase in the course of the modding duties.
