Disagreeing with someones suggestion is one thing, but you are expected to express yourself in a polite and friendly manner. This seems to be part of a growing abrasiveness/disrespectful in your conduct, becoming slowly more bold with each step. It is not acceptable and I would like for you to stop.
Your conduct is in breach of rule 1)
1) Act maturely, friendly and responsibly. You are expected to express yourself in a civil and level-headed manner during discussion or debate, therefore insulting fellow members or staff is forbidden, as is any kind of discrimination, overly aggressive behaviour or general actions which are not deemed by staff to be polite and proper during your daily discourse.
No one wants to join a forum where there are staff who act like assholes. You aren't one, so don't even leave it open for questioning.
Yeah I'm gonna dispute this I guess. Byakuya practically got away with murder on your watch and I'm getting a warning for saying 'no'. He openly belittled and berated other members and staff, outright called people stupid and refused to heed staff rulings on a regular basis. You let that go on for months in plain view and basically left it up to other people to deal with. In fact in some ways it could be argued that you encouraged it by bowing to certain ludicrous demands of his, like only dealing with you regarding his character app, which was hardly democratic since so many other people had a problem with it.
That guy was an ass on a daily basis in far more egregious fashion and got away with it most of the time. I'm not gonna take a 20% for saying a single word which is by no means insulting or rude. Zod hasn't played here at all. He came in, decided to suggest a load of major changes to mechanics, and he'd never even used the ones we have right now. I don't think it's unfair to be equally brief with my time given over to the discussion. I spoke at a little more length with Zod about it later in the cbox and made it clear I held no animosity towards him.
Yes, my response may have been blunt, but we've let outright baiting and harassment slide in the past, so I hardly think not going out of my way to shield other peoples' fragile feelings is deserving of punishment. You're right, I do have a moderator tag. At no point does that require me to coddle the players. I'm here to enforce the rules and perform other tasks like character app oversight and grading. I'm not a social worker.
