Revised Forum Rules/Scrutiny of Moderator (mis)conduct
Earlier this year, I got permanently banned on my main forum account FrozenPizza. After talking to different mods and GMs I ended up getting it unbanned. After posting on it for about 2 weeks, the same moderator banned me again, only for support to unban me once again. I haven't used that account since.
3 days ago, I got permanently banned on my new main forum account FrozenPizza[ after getting my 10th infraction on it. After sending about 3 support tickets, I got the infraction reversed and the account unbanned once again( thank you). Mind you, the reason for my infraction was really stupid and I'm sure no one else would've infracted me over it.
So pretty much, banned by a mod thrice, unbanned by a GM thrice.
Clearly something's wrong with the rules of the forums or at least the way moderators are enforcing them if people are getting infracted left and right over miniscule reasons.
Lots of active forumers have gotten permanently banned just because they accumulated lots of small infractions over the course of however long they've been posting on the forums.
Two that come to mind are Dupree and BigMeanie. Both active forumers and are not known for being toxic or rule breaking.
It'd be nice if the GMs keep a close eye on the moderating that goes on or maybe adjust some of the rules to allow people to post more freely.

You're right, and I think I know who you're talking about as well. There's always been a Mod or two who were somwhat "rude" to players, you should simply deal with that tho.
Still, I too noticed that certain moderators believe they could just insult players and veterans on forums, and if you said something against it they'd just tell you to leave the game. That's not the behavior to expect from a MOD.
Sadly, your thread will end up getting closed, and you'll just get a simple message, well, "if you got a problem with a MOD, report them to support". -

But the MODs job is to moderate the forums and to enforce the rules of the forum. They are doing nothing wrong. I've been infracted multiple times before and I feel the same but I still broke a rule. This is like saying I robbed a bank and I got arrested, HOW DARE THE OFFICERS DO SUCH THING? lol had to add that. -

I don't think a moderator should insult forum users. -
If you got insulted, that's a different story and you should take it to support. What I was trying to say was that their job is to ENFORCE forum rules and they're doing nothing wrong.I don't think a moderator should insult forum users. -

Okay? so you deserved to be infracted
I and many others who had problems with moderators didn't do much wrong yet still got infracted. And if my posts are worthy of an infraction, then so are theirs lmao -

this.... i have seen instances of rude mods but it feels like they are disregarded and we are seen as peasants of the forum -

Danah was insulted big time and tell her to leave and all that.. Mods don't have that right to tell anyone on the forum. Then tryna edit the comment so anyone can't see. -
I got an infraction for being "off-topic"... Like, wat... I sent them a ticket to see (I got that infra a long time ago) but they replied with a useless reply that had nothing to do with what I asked. I sent another one and got the same reply. I miss my main. :'(

Lmao I remember that.
He wrote a huge wall of text insulting Danah and then this is all Grumpy said.[GM]Grumpy wrote: »Natt is not and will not try to hide anything, so let's leave the smart comments behind us
If the roles were switched, Nattnatt would've given her a major infraction for "Flaming/Insulting" and possibly a temporary ban. -
