Speaking from experience, it would like to say that it is sometimes hard to decide what is the right course of action as a moderator (though there haven't been any serious issues on these forums so far). In this particular case, it's hard to say that I wouldn't have done the same. This is how it probably looked to them
You were a troublemaker in the past and got banned.
Since you were a troublemaker before, they are going to be skeptical of you for a while.
You wrote something that could be interpreted as an attack or as constructive criticism. However, because of #2, they immediately assumed it was just an attack.
Obviously, I don't know the details of your circumstances, but I will say that the people I consider banning are the ones that make my job harder for me. The people that make my job harder are the ones that cause pointless arguments or drama. I believe when you first joined, a tiny bit of drama followed you here from those very forums so there's probably bias against you from the moderator's perspective from that.
Also, I would like to point out that most forums do have a rule about not openly arguing with or criticizing a moderator. It's usually encouraged to send private messages if there's an issue and escalate it further (like to an administrator) if the moderator is being unreasonable in private as well. If the admin is a shithead, then you're outta luck, but then again, you probably shouldn't be in that community in the first place.
I got nothing on the crappy thread moving though. Probably lack of attention and no higher authority keeping them in line.
EDIT: By the way, I thought I should mention your post actually set off a bunch of moderation alarms in my head. This kind of thread can easily devolve into stupid drama so I was very tempted to just lock it immediately. I'll give it a chance, but the moment I notice it heading south, it's getting locked.
EDIT2: Don't send that message. I guarantee they will think you're an idiot and just laugh about it.
For very obvious, and community rules reasons this thread can not continue. Do not open another of its kind, i won't warn twice. I don't mean to be harsh per say, but i don't deal with this drama here on my boards. We try to not interfere in threads to not stifle any discussions.. But this is to direct, and unneeded here on MabiBeats.
Thank you for understanding @Endymion0, if you wish to discuss this further please private message me and i will have an open conversation with you there.
