@Alexandrad1 @anderseknert @quintessence The mod is out of line, using grandstanding language that tries to portray the user as a bad actor. “I’m going to step in”, “you have chosen this action”, “had seemed kind”.
There’s a whole bunch of language about how the mod was almost surprised the account didn’t have a history of misinformation. Deleting a (popular and legit) post about a sensitive topic and then going dark for 18 hours is not really a proper course of action in my book.

@Alexandrad1 @anderseknert @quintessence If a user doesn’t have a history of posting misinformation, and they’re clearly active, a quick DM asking for a source after not finding it before taking action could have prevented a whole lot of drama.
The point of rules of play is to get players back on the field. It isn’t to interrupt the game continuously.
Moderation mistakes happen, and that’s fine. We are all more than grateful for the work being done to keep these platforms healthy.

@Alexandrad1 @anderseknert @quintessence Anders isn’t trying to “hand wring an apology” out of the mod.
He would have preferred the mods to be as reactive in reinstating his post after he appealed the decision as they were in removing it in the first place.
Now, it looks more like they didn’t believe his appeal, and now they have egg on face because he publicly showed the moderation mistake that they were going to stand by and uphold.
