It's that age old problem of being a mouthy little shit
and then saying "what me, what did I do?" and trying to look innocent when you get stepped after basically yelling PLEASE STEP ME!!!!

The difference being is that he didn't do that this time.
Which is what makes it unreasonable.

The reason he was given was 'repeated, deliberate trolling across boards with multiple accounts. Last warning'.
Now I can see that they might not like him posting this in three places on the site.
But is this really 'deliberate trolling'?
No one appears to be upset by it.

At a stretch, it's trolling the mods
but yeah, they're pushing the definition to victimise him. IMHO.

I'm not even sure putting one post on three sub boards is even spamming
particularly as on /talk he just linked to this post. I certainly wouldn't call it "repeated trolling".

I still reckon his crime is impersonating a mod
Well, that and being a cunt.

*sigh*
he even said in his own post he'd be stepped, he knew the risks and even seems to have expected the result. seems he was right.

He was merely being all cool and edgy or something.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 3 Jan 2013, 11:00, Reply)

Yes but was this particular post step-worthy?
Or was he anticipating he'd be stepped because the mods have got it in for him?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 3 Jan 2013, 11:01, Reply)

yeah, and they have it in for him for no reason at all?
you ask for it hard enough for long enough you get it.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 3 Jan 2013, 11:04, Reply)

No, one guy has it in for him for pretty specific reasons.
Nobody is saying that they aren't legitimate. What we are saying is that he has been modded for a post that isn't offensive, purely because he has been offensive to this particular mod in the past.

Regardless of his past behaviour, mods mod on a post by post basis, or they're supposed to.

*shrug*
I can only repeat: ask for it long enough, you get it.

If only this rule was observed at Platinum Lace

He wasn't attacking scaryduck in this post.
He wasn't behaving badly in this post. He wasn't fucking asking for anything.

Disproportionate response.

That's a good name for a band

if I agree with battered will you start asking for him to be banned?

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 3 Jan 2013, 11:19, Reply)

I see your point, don't get me wrong
The question is whether or not this post was really worth a stepping. It's obviously his own fault that these things are watched closely.

I'm not saying that Battered is not a cunt.
But I don't think this was really a stepping offence.

their site, their rules
since when did it have to make sense or be logical. it was predictable enough.
