Explain Seeming Abuse of Authority
@Watashiwa
The last post you made in the Daily Thing thread, intergecting that T.L. went over the line with no explaination after the discussion was already over read as a veiled threat and frankly also an abuse of authority. One in which I'd in fact advocate for removal of Admin privileges if it had clearly been done in a mod capacity with all the formatting that entails. Attempting to shut down discussion from differing viewpoints by specifically singling out a forum member with the weight of authority implied by those kinds of vieled threats, while not specifying what he did wrong or was against the rules (especially in a case like this where the discussion was entirely reasonable by all sides) is not something I'll tolerate from any mod. Especially if it's not clarified after pressed on the matter.
As it was not clearly a mod action however since it lacked the mod action formatting I'm willing to see it as a normal ideological spat if properly clarified, as I'd already asked for in the thread. As it was that post was very ill advised regardless, if you're a mod you should take care not to make posts that can be so easily read that way that are ditected soley at any given member. Especially without clarifying what went over the line and why in what by all indications was a reasonable, if heated, discussion.
Disagree and get involved in those discussions sure, hell T.L. was arguing with a mod in that discussion. That's all fine. Greater care however should be taken to avoid making statements like that post however that can so easily be read as a mod trying to press their authority down on any given individual, with or without the key mod formatting.
