This wasn’t for one warning but for a series of warnings. I don’t know why the mods didn’t list them in the announcement. They usually do. ---

> [@Larry\_Borgia](#): > > This wasn’t for one warning but for a series of warnings. I don’t know why the mods didn’t list them in the announcement. They usually do. Pretty sure he was suspended over this warning, otherwise they wouldn’t have suspended him following it, instead of the others. I understand that this warning didn’t exist in a vacuum, but the point was it shouldn’t have existed at all. It’s like suspending someone who has behaved poorly in the past over absolutely nothing one day, arguing it was in part due to a series of bad behaviors. Actually, it’s not like suspending someone for that; it \*is \*suspending someone for that. He didn’t do anything this time. But I told myself I was going to stop bothering with moderator action discussion threads, so I’m going to play with a ball of string now. See you in a month, Linctus! ---

> [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > I had seen and read the post he quoted and noticed he/she was referring to it…however it seemed to me it clearly wasn’t being made in a light-hearted manner, especially with the word “slut” thrown in (which had nothing to do with what was posted and could be read as an insult). I admit the use of that word threw me too, when I was just reading the thread. Looked like a hateful, personally insulting post. If that poster and the poster he was quoting had a history, I’d have certainly interpreted it that way. However, in context, it simply appeared to me to be more of the “negging” - that is, saying negative things about someone in an attempt to lower their self-esteem, so as to fool them into having sex with you - that was being parodied, not seriously aimed. Unwise posting, obviously. Certainly worthy of a note or caution. My “read” for what it’s worth (probably not much! :D) was that it was not meant to be malicious. ---

Thought he was being edgy and hip by always pushing everything to the limit, riding on being new and unaware, thought he could dress it up as jokes and satire and somehow, no one would notice. Colour me not surprised by this development. ---

Didn’t he send a PM to one of the mods about KatePS, the brief beef peddler? And one of the mods replied that it was one of the most ridiculous PMs they had ever gotten? ---

> [@TheChileanBlob](#): > > Really??? You don’t like the guy so it doesn’t matter if his suspension was justified or not? I didn’t say it was justified. I see it as just accelerating the inevitable. The guy is set to self-destruct. He’s already had a series of warning, and it’s not like you get “x” number and you’re out-- it’s a judgement call by the mods. I think they are often too lenient. ---
