Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

696 readers

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.


Posting Guidelines

All posts should follow this basic structure:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.

YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.


Some acronyms you might see.

Hahaha this comm's mods are on the sauce, this is insane.

"Alright you're banned for a month for being an uncivil asshole, but when you get back I'll make your uncivil ass a mod."

I'm the other mod of that sub. Alphanerd was allowed to come back as a mod provisionally as he was the creator of the community and the most active. He chose to waste that opportunity and is no longer a mod.

Kudos. FYI they seem to have defaced your sidebar.

Lol. That's actually hilarious.
