Yes, yes, meta posts are gay, I know.
I do think it's important to hold mods accountable, though, remain aware of what is going on, and also to remind people that mod logs are, in fact, public.
Fuckery #1, #2, and #3:
Dom banned u/btbw for 256 days for "conniving merchants and cultists that manipulate all sides behind the scenes" in the context of Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Without comment or explanation directly to the person he was banning. He banned him because someone else responded with "Cool it with antisemitic remarks" (which I've seen reported repeatedly, someone really doesn't like that meme), and said the parent comment did break the rules.
Now, that parent could have also been reported, but it is funny that Dom has said he can't hunt down parent comments before, here:
When I click on your comment from my feed, I only see your comment, not it's parent.
Now, here's where it gets really fucky. He unbanned btbw, admitting his mistake...then immediately bans him again for...no reason.
You know what, fair enough. I'll restore the comment...approved a comment by btbw...unbanned btbw...banned btbw - 128 days with reason: Previous ban rescinded. Ban reduced to 128 days.
Excuse me, but what the fuck? He was previously not banned, obviously, since he could comment. His only offending comment was found to not be rule-breaking. His ban was rescinded. Then he was banned again (also with no direct communication), with the reason apparently being that he was unbanned? What's this "ban reduced" nonsense?
This is like being arrested for resisting arrest.
Fuckeries #4-8:
Dom claims to always leave comments when he removes comments, with why it broke the rules. He removed the following four comments with no explanation:
https://unscored.arete.network/c/KotakuInAction2/p/199hNv1Ent/x/c/4ZGS2oYQNoe/
https://unscored.arete.network/c/KotakuInAction2/p/199OdDkqgy/x/c/4ZFCcbXztx3/
https://unscored.arete.network/c/KotakuInAction2/p/199Ohxq6ar/x/c/4ZGRjlEQg2S/
https://unscored.arete.network/c/KotakuInAction2/p/199OdKaan6/x/c/4ZGRjpqZAQy/
I don't even think any of that is explicitly rule-breaking, and it was removed without comment. Looks like Dom got up on the wrong side of the bed again.
I removed you and Hell's comments in the hopes you would stop screeching at each other. But if you'd like, I can just have you both agree not to respond to each other.
I don't care which you choose, but you have to choose one. Either you ban HB00 from harassing me, or I continue posting Gazerbeam's archived retardation.
I will continue holding you to your standards, because every time you do an enforcement action, you turn everyone here a little more against everything you love. You make everyone a little more anti-semitic.
I don't think u/Hellsdenizen00 is spelled right. Can you confirm it?No need, you meant Hellsbells00
Are you being serious, or is this a terrible joke? This is one of those “bare minimum knowledge of the community” checks that you just keep failing….
Give me a wrong name, and then shit on me for using it. Nice.
Yeah, yeah, "I hate you, kill yourself you fucking kike", got it. Anyways, the answer to my inquiry seems to be that you would like it if neither of you responded to each other.
/u/Hellsbells00 - Please do not reply to u/CatoTheElder 's posts or comments any further on this forum otherwise it will result in a removal or ban.

Hey you said it; don't ban yourself.
You really have to invent shit to be mad about?
Comment Reported for: Rule 3 - Harassment (x2)
Comment Removed for: Rule 3 - Harassment
What was the reasoning behind removing HirudineaFC's comment.
Hes a regular over on freecanada, the forums that just got shut down by the canadian government (is my guess).
One of the more respectful ones and his comments are pretty innocent. He doesnt like indians either but at least he wasnt actively ripping the native members of the board.
Still scratching my head on this, and if anyone has info on why freecanada got shut down, please post in the old thread, or make a new one. There has to be some "official" explanation.
The telegram account is flooded with diagolon nonsense and a picture that says its over lmao.
Its only over if the members give up.
He had no history in this forum and there's a auto-filter that auto-removes comments from new users.
My concern was that he was some troll coming over from one forum to another to start shit. But if he's okay, I'll approve his comments.
The number of pedo handshake accounts we see on a weekly basis suggests otherwise. That or the filter is poorly implemented.
How many times does this need repeated, a handshake do not automatically equal new account. In the case of that spammer it's been brought up by multiple users that the actual accounts are often over a year old. That's not a new account, it's just one that hasn't been on this particular board before, THAT'S what a handshake means. And to put the obvious two and two together that keeps getting missed or simply ignored, yes a freshly created "new" account on the entire site will have a handshake, but not because it's freshly created!
They're not typically handshakes as he has about a bajillion accounts, though some of them are which is insanely confusing.
I didn't agree to shit. That's not how a public forum works. If he's going to vomit fed propaganda I will keep calling him out so he doesn't get to pretend he's actually unopposed or speaking for right wing interests. Protecting him from opposition kills actual discourse.
You refuse to do anything about the conpro brigaders and now you step in to defend the hypocritical goblin. His faggoted twist of my username is even hypocrisy, as he's a raging anti-theist that hates Christ and christians. What are you even doing here? This place is very nearly a corpse with more conpro faggots than actual legitimate posters at this point.
I'm not a bitchy little girl that constantly brings him up in unrelated threads - he's the one that does so. When I engage with his bullshit I do so directly. And you want to stop me from actually addressing hypocrisy, lies and propaganda from an obvious goon.
