What even are the rules about stickers anyway? What constitutes "sticker abuse", and what determines how long the punishment is? It's really unclear unless I'm just missing something like a retard, which is probable.
You will never know that, cause like it's the case with every janitorial team, secrecy and ambiguity are purposefully inserted.
The "rules" are for complete idiots; the jannies use them as a rough guide, and the admin trusts them enough that they make decent decisions.
Defining the rules clearly means that smart and smug posters can skirt the boundary with similar effect with fully breaking the rules, so the jannies want to have the ability to forbid that.
The way KF is moderated is not unlike AHS on reddit or Resetera, we just have mods that say nigger and more leeway, but the principles remain the same.
So, "abusing stickers" is basically
- many reported you for spamming (negative) stickers
- mod team got annoyed and the admin knows too
- admin and mods don't particularly like you
So you get stickers taken away for a while.
If the mods like you, for example because you make other users seethe a lot, then you get to keep doing it
