To be fair though I think he was justified here. Chula was being unreasonable, but idk if it warranted a ban or not.

Change your name to "shut the **** up Ki". It's good advice.

A simple PM would have sufficed just fine. Which is my entire point. Instead, he decided to use his mod tools to go the extra mile. Which was entirely unnecessary.

I gave him a warning. To quote one of our members, Chula Vista, "don't poke the bear."

It's fine to not accept the fact that you're not a good mod. But don't sugarcoat it by ignoring what people are throwing at you. Poor play on your part, friend.

So, you decided to instead give into what the members say, and not do what a mod should do, by PM'ing the member and cooling the situation down in the background.

Give up this fight. Chula was in the wrong and he wanted to act out and push the boundaries when faced with authority and asked nicely not to do something.

Sorry, but I just don't see where he was wrong. He posted a picture of his family. In a picture thread. In the lounge. Where most spam goes.

Back a few years ago, nothing in the lounge ever led to a ban. Usually it was deleted and the member was informed.

If that has changed, I'd love to know.

What's done is done. Hindsight advice is also not considered to be very helpful, either.

I still think Frown should be de-modded (or whatever the word is for that).
