Interesting. He got extremely and violently offended by my sig in Harpie's confession topic earlier today. That was weird but easily laughed off...

You're taking a joke faaaaar too seriously there.

looks like for calling out the people spreading covid misinformation

It seemed to be for the first post itself (at least, that's the only one that was moderated). My best guess is that, despite the quotes around a certain word + the post later in the topic very clearly explaining it, they didn't realise I was not actually pushing that claim; merely referencing that misinformation spreaders often believe it. Of course we all know that once a moderation is made, mods will double down on it no matter what, but I'd be willing to bet that had the mod in question been paying attention in the first place, that topic would not have been moderated at all, let alone with a suspension.

I did have two other moderations (edit: earlier version of this post said "two warnings", but one was an NKL), which were under the same category this was modded under (but a category which doesn't remotely apply to this moderatoin itself, and seems to have been picked solely to justify a harsher punishment); one of them was a warning where in hindsight I really did not do a good job of wording my point and I can see why it got modded; while the other one was an NKL where they've completely misinterpreted the post (and indeed, doubled down on their misinterpretation when I contested it).

At any rate I made a Hellhole topic. I doubt I'll get anything beyond the usual "we know what you're thinking better than you do" (without much explanation of what they think I'm thinking) but hey, it's there, we'll see how it goes.

EDIT: Should probably include the link to the Hellhole topic. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/573081-hellhole/79894995
