I literally cannot see the issue in the first 2 bannings. The first guy is absolutely right. The 2nd person might have intended the post in a snarky tone but it could also be read as genuine.
The mods get weird hate-boners for certain posters. Remember Kitty/Mama Voodoo? Her fall was meteoric, she went from being a mod to copping a lifetime ban for posting a picture that could be considered vaguely sexual with zero actual objectionable material beyond a character concept and build for an urban fantasy game.
I suspect all of the mods have personal hit lists that may include currently popular posters. As soon as the rules shift in a way that serves their desire to get them they'll try to.
Tanka is easily the shittiest mod on the worst moderation team on the Internet.
They were already doing it ten years ago. Some posters ended up fair game, getting harrassed and dogpiled by both mods and other users who'd bait them passive aggressively, and some posters would get away with a long string of infractions. Originally, this was confined to only a part of the modclique, but a few years later, all notions of fairness got abandoned. If they want you banned, they will make sure it happens. It is standard crooked cop behavior. Ironic, for a site proudly in the ACAB camp.
ACAB is basically "fuck you daaaaaad" for manbabies on the left. I think these freaks know how they'd behave if they had a badge, so they assume everyone else would, too.
It's kind of an stretch. A lot of these bans are mainly for random topics with a mod twisting the user's meaning to justify a ban.
Holy shit, I was joking when I made the Soviet show trial reference earlier. Banning someone who had been posting for decades because they're "not a good fit" is some "Trotsky has always been an enemy of the Soviet people" shit (see rpg.net mods, I can make references you can understand). Wonder if he knew Fabius and sent some angry PMs to the mods on his behalf? Rule zero is some weaksauce bs they only use when they want to ban someone but don't have anything specific they can pin on them.
It’s like North Korea. Anyone with the capacity to dissent has been weeded out of the gene pool.
The closest you’ll find would probably be the rpg site forums.
Are there any sites like that? /tg/ is festering (albeit not as bad as RPGnet).
