IMO, he was shawed for what he said about tarrant's marriage falling apart. I mean, we'd have to ask brahma to be sure, but I'd bet that was what did it.
Nope. That wasn't even brought up. There was a discussion about hodj going Full Retard again, someone said something to the effect of "we might have to put him in timeout again" and Brahma thought that Hodjpocalypse 2016 was a go for launch.

They're just salty and butthurt because they were deep underwater with nowhere else to go. Brahma's ban message was just "You need a timeout bro".

I can't read minds and don't care. Brahma probably isn't even aware the Ask A Mod thread is supposed to be moderation free.
Soy said something about it after the fact. Brahma wasn't sure what the precedent was. Hell, he's new, and he didn't even know that he had banned you...he thought he RRPed you.

I'd actually considered reversing the infraction myself but when you went Full Retard I realized that you'd just make a beeline for the AMOD thread, go absolutely batshit insane (again) and end up rickshawed (again). As far as I'm concerned you can stay in here and take victory laps until your RRP expires. FFS, Tuco RRPed me for like a month or two and took away my Mod powers and I didn't come in here whining and crying about it.

And like everything else here, nothing is written in stone. For example, I purposely choose to ignore a lot of "dindu" stuff because I disagree with Draegan even though Draegan has said before that there is to be zero tolerance on that. The whole"don't RRP people from the AMOD thread"was never an absolute and you aren't remotely the first person shawed in there.

No one is supposed to be shawed or infracted in that thread. They do it anyway. Like when Tuco went full retard and started trying to ban any pictures of women not in full dresscloth from head to toe and in the process unjustly shawed you.

And we got that shit overturned because it was unjust and Tuco knew it.
That's true. Technically your ban was overturned too. So that's something.

Well I don't think anything I've said in here is whining or crying. People were in the Ask A Mod thread hurriedly trying to rewrite history and I corrected it here. I was asked what I was shawed for, so I explained that.

I'm not in the least bit upset with Brahma. I had some trouble figuring out the back end when I was modded as well.

I've already settled into my home till Monday, its nice and comfy here. I'm okay brosef.

My perception is that I made a perfectly true statement, Lurking did his opportunistic and worn out schtick and I slapped him for it, Tarrant jumped in, I slapped him for it. I never had a problem with Tarrant in the past. When I returned he suddenly turned on me and started attacking me. Only at that point did I begin fighting back against him. As I said to Soygen, my comment was entirely warranted based on our history and that is a history he started, not I. I don't think I'd ever said more than two words to or about Tarrant prior to his attacking me. If he can't stand the heat, he shouldn't come into the kitchen and start swinging knives around.

My point about the Ask A Mod thread supposedly being unmoderated is about the hypocrisy of saying it is unmoderated, and then putting someone in the shaw for...defending themselves....against people who threw the first punches...

The fact that you all want to duck and dodge that was ex post facto revisionism "Well we can change all our own stated rules at any time for any reason we feel like" doesn't change the fact that the moderation staff moderates ham fistedly, and hypocritically. Not all of you, and not in every case. But in enough cases that it should matter.

I think the first person I tried to infraction after being modded I accidentally banned for a few minutes as well. Its not very clear the first time when you go to the interface. Its counter intuitive basically.

Brahma didn't mean to ban me. Anyway, the ban had a timer for Monday at 10 am, I wasn't really sweating it. Its not like I thought they'd permanently banned me or anything.

Was Lurkingdirk the guy who tried to claim taking his kids to church wasn't indoctrination? If not, whoever that dude was, definitely got fed his asshole over that whole thing.

I haven't checked the thread since yesterday, just now caught up. and no, even if I had cared about Hodj's latest warning sign for needing an anti-psychotic prescription, he lost me the moment he took that cheap shot at Tarrant. I may be a mean, spiteful, miserable jackass but even I won't stoop to that. It might be different if he actually participated in the carebear forums, but skimming through it just for personal shit to throw in someones face? Get fucked.
Besides the fact that you've taken similar shots at Tarrant in the past, this is a complete misrepresentation. I don't "skim the carebear forum just for personal shit to throw in people's faces".

I barely read it at all. And certainly when I do I'm not thinking "Oh, man, here's something I can use against someone sometime."

Tarrant, as I pointed out, began by antagonizing me first, and has thrown plenty of punches my way, and I punched back. Its that simple.

Funny how it's hodj and Hoss who ended up answering my question about the new mods in the mod thread. No irony there.

Thanks.

The thing is, regardless of what went down between you three, Lurking and Tarrant didn't abuse their Mod power to end debate. They talked about it in AMOD but that as it. No one asked Brahma to swing the axe for them.

The problem with your 'defending yourself' is that it's the forum equivalent of the guy who built the Killdozer and went on a rampage trying to flatten his entire town over something relatively minor. That's always been the problem. You don't know when to quit and you somehow think that reacting by turning things up to 11 is going to somehow garner you support. At this point many of us Mods have seen you do this any number of times and we aren't willing to let you run rampant.

I don't really enjoy the endless back-and-forth debates, so I wasn't sure I even wanted to give you a response. But whatever, this is my honest opinion whether you like it or not.

The fact that you all want to duck and dodge that was ex post facto revisionism "Well we can change all our own stated rules at any time for any reason we feel like" doesn't change the fact that the moderation staff moderates ham fistedly, and hypocritically.

That's not ex post facto revisionism. From Day 1 Tuco was a proponent of Mods making subjective interpretations of the 'rules', and was willing to suffer a bunch of "TOO MANY MODS" attacks because he felt that we'd self regulate as a whole. Like I said, I considered reversing your infraction but once I saw you getting up a full head of steam I thought better of it.

This is just alternate universe stuff. I didn't say anyone sent Brahma to do their dirty work for them, or that mod powers were abused.

That's why its funny.

The rest is whatever.

That was meant as a response to lejeina. Erronious abused his daylight mod powers to sneak in before me.

Hodj's response was 1 minute after your post, and while I laughed at how he phrased it I felt it was accurate enough that I didn't need to make another post that said exactly the same thing. I figured that answered your question, but whatever.

All the votes got shit canned, dirk and brahma got modded, democracy died, draegan decided that banning dindu was a worthwhile proposition, the shit circle continues unbroken.

On a side note, last night's Its Always Sunny was one of the best episodes of all time. The lawyer uncle with the giant hand gloves sent my sides into orbit.

Are you accusing us of being the 2 shadow mods?
Uh no, I was amused at how those who answered my question are the guys who can manage to get themselves banned in the mod thread of all places.

I've got no thought on potential shadow mods, besides that alt accounts are pussy shit, mod or not.
