Discussions, post-mortems, analysis, inflated egos, and all that jazz.

Basically, we discussed everything in detail with Dima in a private message, as much as we could. It seems like a storm in a teacup. Throughout my time as a moderator, I haven't banned anyone, nor have I ever issued violation points, and I've tried to avoid deleting messages altogether (I would put parts of the message in tags, while the text of the message remains fully preserved, fully accessible to its author, and in case of a moderator's mistake, it can be easily fully restored, and usually I would also explain in a private message why I did it). If someone had a different impression, perhaps it's a good reason to think about how they managed to create that impression?

Wow, I'm very unpleasantly surprised that on our forum, you can't ask why a forum member was banned.

The question of why Antiplayer was banned was asked, and an answer to the question was given, and at the same time, "no bunny was harmed," and after that, to say that you can't ask? Well, that's quite a logic...
But I still believe that in the regular sections, according to the forum rules, this is a violation; there is a special section for such questions, and at the very least, you should start with a private message. But I admit that I might have misunderstood the rules – I'm clarifying this point.

Did Dirty appoint you as a moderator, or someone else?

I don't know; Dirty knows
