What should I do when a moderator abuses his powers?
In a particular discussion I have stated my own point of view. The moderator in question does not agree with my opinion. Fair enough, that’s his right, it’s a free internet. But instead of arguing his case he has used his moderator powers to silence me.
First of all, he let us say misunderstood my words, and with moderator hat on issued a warning for something that I had not actually said. A warning that I felt was unjustified since I hadn’t done the thing I was being warned about.
So, I politely pointed out that he was mistaken. In response I got a personal attack from him, and I was told to sghut up about an opinion that he personally doesnot agree with.
So, I don’t want to accrue moderator warnings if I can help it. I don’t think this one should ever have been issued the warning in the first place. I want the warning to be officially withdrawn and struck from the record.
I feel I have a right to speak my opinion on this board. In the thread in question I have been silenced by implicit threats of further moderator action if I continue to say what I think.
Finally, I think the mod in question is very much guilty of Being A Jerk, and perhaps should have his own actions looked at by the mods.
So what should I do about it?
the moderator in question is being a jerk
