Got banned from !energy@slrpnk.net for pointing out that it was a big reach to say that wind power is included in the term “solar energy”. The mod referenced a temp ban from two years ago? Tried to say I’ve got a “history” of trolling and harassment, as well that I “doxxed” user DMs which also happened two years ago. I even, at the time, talked with the mod involved and reposted that comment without the DM screenshots. Like I don’t have an entirely squeaky clean modlog but it’s only a single page over two years? What the fluff? Like it’s a two week ban and I could hardly care but jeeze this feels like overreach.

      I am not the only admin on slrpnk 😅

      But look at who you are replying again 🤷

        I was on your instance for a good while and never broke any rules. The ban came out of nowhere and wasn’t even tied to anything recent. Because the only reason I ever got from you was, “because you’re Universal Monk.” So yeah, that’s classic PTB behavior.

        I agree with OP that their situation also looks like a clear case of PTB.

        (For the record, I’m much happier here anyway and have been welcomed by most of the dbzer0 community.)

          It was a mistake to approve your application in the first place given how you behave with your other accounts. When we noticed that mistake we took a while to discuss this internally with the other admins and community mods and ultimatly decided that we prefer not to be associated with you.

      They banned me out of the blue, even though I’d been on their instance for a while without breaking any rules. The reason they gave me was a variation of “you are Universal Monk.” That alone makes me think they’ve lost their way.

      Add that to OP’s situation and other things I’ve come across before, (though I’ll admit I don’t have the receipts right now), and it really seems like they’ve gone off course. Just my opinion, of course.

        They clarified their position in the comment below

        The comment reported in this post has been restored

        For someone complaining that they use “you are Universal Monk" to ban you, that seems a bit ironic to make such statements without anything to back it up.
