"If I find out an admin or mod is abusing their power and banning people for longer than need be repeatedly and vindictively I will immediately and without debate or appeal permanently remove their rights."

Abuse of power is not tolerated and that is what this is seeking to prevent. I have been warned that a mod is abusing their position.

I don't want to remove peoples' rights, and would love not to be in the position to have the discussion to need to. I have a very long history of being extremely lenient with people.

If you are doing your job, there is nothing to fear. If you are blocking people from chat because you have a personal grudge against them, then you may proceed to cower in fear. You, though, I don't think should fear anything.

The simple fact is that someone was blocked from chat for two hours and then 1 month. After appealing, they were blocked for 3 days which was changed about a minute later to three months.

This is not something that should happen. Extreme bans are for extreme events.

True, chat is a privileged and you are not required to be able to do so, but there should be a standardized method for moderating chat. Better judgement is something I trust all mods/admin to use, but I want to harmonize the way blocks are handed out.

If you have problems with the way I manage things please feel free to talk to me directly. I'm not scary and I don't bite that hard.
