Spamtasticus has been asked not to return after, again, crying foul when the community decides one of their posts is inappropriate and incorrectly assumes moderators are taking unilateral action.
Not that we don’t do that of course, but the in the vast majority of cases, we are alerted to issues by flags, not by trying to keep up with reading every post.
Which, again, I’ll remind everyone - complaining that “post X was moderated but post-Y was not”, when you didn’t bother to flag post-Y is not going to be a persuasive argument. If you have an issue with a post, flag it.
I cleared posts complaining about being rickrolled from a thread where they were quite obviously intentionally rickrolled. It is a good thread discussing the intent of the post beyond the obvious rickrolling of folks. Constant whinging about being rickrolled is the internet.
@fuzz_cube has been asked not to return, after derailing a topic then getting into offtopic judgements on responses, after being expressly told not to engage in that behaviour by the mod team in the past.
I will additionally point out that namecalling is against the community guidelines on either side, as several users attempted to do in this case. Flag posts. Engaging users who are violating our guidelines makes significantly more work for the mod team, horribly derails topics, losing substantive responses as collateral damage, and makes no one want to read the topic in question.
Absolutely appropriate. Such posts often derail the topic as much as the original post did, which is precisely the reason we ask folks to flag and not engage.
