Double standards from the mods?
in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Nica said:It isn't exactly a double standard, though that is certainly how it feels. Even when we adhere to the same regulations and maintain our files in an identical fashion, our perspectives occasionally diverge; after all, we aren't the Borg.
That is simply the nature of most matters in daily life: different people observe the exact same content yet interpret it through entirely different lenses.
In the "Science" section under the "space and time" thread, I see Wand_1 trolling incessantly, yet the moderators respond by issuing warnings to every innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

@LIQ
Just as Drew Smith9 received a partial ban from the Natural Sciences board, you are headed for the same fate.
Your constant sniping is not merely unintelligent; it fails to be even remotely amusing.
Consider this our final joint warning. If I witness one more troll post from you, you will be removed from PZ. The choice is yours: depart of your own volition or face a partial ban. Thank you for your attention. tik __________________

By the way—what does a "partial ban" actually entail? Is it permanent and post-mortem, or does it last for a few months?

Edit - Found the answer:
3. Partial Bans
If a user becomes a nuisance to the moderators on one specific sub-forum but remains a valuable contributor on another, the moderators of the first sub-forum may request a partial ban for that user regarding their specific area. This means the sub-forum effectively becomes invisible to that user. This ban is permanent. It is reserved exclusively for exceptional cases where a user is problematic in one sub-forum, while remaining useful in another.

I find myself laughing at this, albeit with a profound sense of bewilderment. My thanks to EL Ninho and tik __________________. I also extend my gratitude to those who approved this "partial" ban for me. It seems I have earned it quite thoroughly—though perhaps I am simply too dim-witted to grasp why!
Regrettably, I possess no mechanism to appeal or take any action regarding your judgment and assessment.
I wish you a productive session!
