And .... what happens next?
Either nothing, or the op is tossed out.
The first actually reinforces and thus encourages this behavior - it spreads. The second diminishes it.
Which has happened over the years?
It is very sad.
So it looks as if you thought correct; nothing
I saw the mod in question browsing this thread for at least 30+ minutes a few days ago and had hoped they would take some responsibility for their actions, even a comment like;
Yea that happened, so what?
when your ban ends just remember that if I want to argue with you, don't defend yourself or you will be banned
kbai
or
sorry for the misunderstanding, I'll donate $1,000,000 GBP to you for your emotional trauma, after they finish voting on how quickly to devalue their currency.
that would have at least shown that the mod was willing to take responsibility for their actions, right or wrong doesn't matter, it's not a weakness to have humility or show respect to strangers.
"With great power, comes great ..." I forget the rest,
probably complete BS anyway, where is my e-peen measuring device.
sarcastic humour aside,
I was disappointed to see the mod come and presumably read the whole thread(everything before this post), only to leave without a word.
I can only think the mod was either;
- Feigning ignorance of this thread to avoid any possible confrontations &/or the possibility that they are as fallible as the people they ban.
OR maybe
- The supreme leader was looking down at this thread from above while laughing as the ant with no legs squirmed. This ant had just had his legs amputated for biting the finger of the supreme leader who was fond of poking ants to demonstrate superiority. after some fellow ants gather at the limbless body the supreme leader grows bored & leaves the area to sleep,
with the fresh satisfaction of being so greatly superior to the powerless ants, while also seeing the entire conflict as the ants own fault.(I tried my best to keep the horror story emotion roller coaster true to actual events, let me know if it is inappropriate or too hard to understand)
the original post has the log & recount of events, the story above is a guess at what sort of person does these things?
If the first scenario is true, I feel sorry for you and hope you can learn to reconsider your 'facts' next time someone tells you the earth is round.
If the second is true, well... I have no respect for anyone who would satisfy their narcissistic tendencies by demeaning another individual in any way.
PLEASE share your thoughts If anyone can come up with another possible reason why a mod would have done some or all of the following;
- disrespect you and your opinion consistently, WHY? NECESSARY? I'm happy to give up time explaining things to people who ask, not command, w/out please/thankyou, no reason given...
- tell you to explain but refuse to say what needs explaining.
- muted you without allowing you enough time to explain anything at all.
- decided coffees need to be made the second a mute is applied, so you have to wait for the mods personal life...
congratulations mr powerful.
- declared you wrong without checking the facts first.
- banned you for pointing out their accusations are false.
- followed you and read a full thread based on their actions but didn't reply or leave any evidence of their presence.
I actually find it insulting that the mod wasted the 30-60 minutes of his life reading everything, but couldn't spend 5 minutes to give us his opinion.
I waited a couple of days before writing this just to make sure the lack of response wasn't due to urgent business or something of the sort.
THE THING THAT SADDENS/ANGERS ME THE MOST;
After I got banned and copied the chat log, I saw that the poor fellow I was helping mentioned near the end that he will buy a new PSU "just in case", even though we had already found his GPU was at fault & the PSU could have quite easily still been perfect (depends on how much you trust the blokes directional hearing from inside a case lol).
ALL I CAN DO is sit here and worry about whether or not he wasted over $100 because I wasn't able to further discuss it with him. (that's about the only thing I personally have against this moderator)
Just had to get the remainder of my thoughts regarding all of this on the record as the thread will likely end soon and get placed
on a certain moderators wall of superiority along with 70% of the threads in the chat forum section.
As always and more so in regards to this post, I am excited to see what replies anyone may have to share their thoughts/opinions.
I'm interested to see what sort of reply if any I might get from the mod who banned me, posts are generally a bit better than live chat for rational arguments to be made.
Thanks to all who take the time to consider the issues raised here &/or admin abuse as a subject, looking at the threads in this forum section actually concerns me...
Kind Regards to All,
Bill
PS. I'm still banned even though I know the mod who banned me took the time to read this thread... I really am simply disappointed, not upset :/
EDIT - in the interest of knowledge, I just did a bit of research on narcissism and while I stand by my previous statement regarding anyone who acts in such a way, I do now also feel sorry for anyone who actually has narcissism.
The problem is everyone derives pleasure from having the admiration or respect of others(AFAIK), that's why I put so much effort towards helping anyone who comes my way and try to treat everyone I meet in the kindest way possible, even without the ability to empathise, you still know right from wrong, Morales should be enough for a person to control themselves.
