MODERATOR’S NOTE: A user just politely inquired as to why ChemAM was banned. I thought I would share my response with all of you:
<<<I sent the user a one-point warning with this note: “You can’t insult people. Report posts if you feel they violate the TOS or ignore the posts. Those are the two options.”
The reply I got:
“Get off your high horse and either ban me or **** off. Those are YOUR two options.”
That’s the reason for the ban. This is why it’s hard to be a moderator. People see that someone has been banned and jump to the conclusion that it’s due to “heavy-handed moderation.” They don’t see the stuff we deal with. Sigh.>>>
