Anyway, I have to ask—how is it that your annual vacation doesn't stop you from handing out bans to "trolls" at lightning speed, yet the second someone asks for a review of a penalty, suddenly you're hiding behind some miraculous time off? You pull this whole act where these supposed "consultations" regarding whether a ban should stick or not take a full eight days. It's ridiculous.
By the way, here is a perfect little example of what a well-argued appeal actually looks like—where the banned user used incredibly clear, razor-sharp logic to absolutely dismantle a moderator's attempt at "trolling." I highly recommend everyone gives it a read; there's a lot to learn here.
Exactly. When it comes to the Politics section, he's pretty much the only one tackling those specific problems right now. Even our other moderator, Dorian.Gray, isn't around nearly as much lately...
It wasn't right that you were stuck with an unnecessary three-day ban, but unfortunately, there's nothing we can do to undo that part of it. I am truly sorry about that. All we can do is clear your record, which has already been done, and offer a sincere apology for how things went down. Consider this my second apology to you. You can take what I'm saying—and my apology—however you see fit, but continuing to argue about who was available to handle your appeal won't change the fact that you were banned, nor will it change the schedules of the admins currently managing the site...
