I would never have thought that possible either. For us "auxiliary new moderators", there was no immediate reason to interfere at the moment when members complained about the procedure/selection etc. at the company management. At least I didn't see any, which was also intended to de-escalate the situation. The fact that the situation gradually got more and more out of hand is of course extremely regrettable, but it happened even though we stayed out of it. I'm no clairvoyant, but I suspect it would have gotten a lot rougher if we, as newcomers, had been involved. The start was supposed to be calm and peaceful for everyone and even if that wasn't necessarily to be expected, adding fuel to the fire probably wouldn't have been a good idea.

Probably the right decision and still a pity that you then have to keep your opinion behind the mountain in situations such as user blocking.

"just locks"


You really didn't get it. What do you do if you admonish someone 10-20 times and even give them a temp. ban but they don't stop? I'll try to explain it to you even more clearly. Dear Falcon, someone spits in your face 10-20 times, do you just say "You, you, that's not ok" every time or do you act yourself at some point? No matter how well you know someone or how much you like them, if they spit in your face or hit you 10-20 times, you will react.

I think the thing with the mods is considered too big. They hardly have any additional functions and they can't make any big decisions on their own. I have the feeling that others just see it as incredibly big, bigger than the mods themselves. Why should a mod also comment on the topic yesterday? I agree with Hans, it would only have added more fuel to the fire. I think it's rather strong that the mods stayed out of it and didn't cause any more trouble. Maybe even a sign that it was the right thing to do regarding the mods

Blubbo is very special, almost everyone has clashed with him. I once called him an "official snob" and was given a warning, so I just kept my mouth shut

I don't even want to know how many times Julian or Andre have wanted to throw me off the cliff, i.e. wanted to ban me. I think it's stupid that they've been banned now, even if it was partly justified. Just ignore the guys and the problem would have disappeared by itself

In this case, you spit in their faces just like that, to use your parlance. You made a very provocative post and then continued to provoke in the other thread. And a good moderator would have admonished both of them in this case or simply let them let off steam as long as no boundaries were crossed.


But now you are presenting yourself as an innocent lamb as if you had no part in the whole thing and, as someone else has already mentioned here, that comes across as very unsympathetic.

I have no problem at all with the fact that you counter them and that you're happy to do so a little more harshly. But the fact that you're screaming for consequences and inciting Julian to ban them is more than just borderline. So you played your part in escalating the situation. And then you even added to it after the ban. I much prefer Blubbo, with whom I've often clashed myself.

So your behavior was absolutely out of line and certainly not in the spirit of a good community. But you won't be banned. Can you tell the difference? You can continue to spout off and even attack the defenceless after the fact. You called for a ban and your wish was granted. Does that make you a happier person now?
