I waited so long to come forward and tell my story because I didn't think anyone would believe me. But now I want people to know what happened to me, because if knowing what happened to me could prevent it happening to them, then I want them to know.

If a banned user asks for where a rule is written and you ignore it multiple times you’re probably either a troll or an asshole. Also the sidebar of that community has no rules…

The user in question was a bit aggressive, but you did not clarify at all and ignored their question about the abbreviations policy.

Check out the opinions here https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/38104278

Apparently, you should ban yourself too

The afore linked community is now on our naughty list of communities frequented by naughty taker-backers (I will not use the culturally offensive word because that's not who we are here, even though I've seen the other community use it), who extend invitations to converse and then rescind them.

And yet, still no abbreviation's policy to be found....

Reading from 9:09:12 AM till the end, I can notice that you did not address the main concern and instead focused on your name.

A link to the policy could have ended all of this peacefully.

I understand the whole thing, but you need to have transparency in mod actions.

I've managed dig up a copy abbreviation policy (please let me know if there's a newer version of this)

5.03 Abbreviations

  • The following words cannot be used in abbreviations, and their use in such a manner is a ban-able offence: "New", "York", "Times". In accordance with the Board's principles, these words are sacrosanct and to shorten them is heresy.
  • Taximeter cabriolet can be shortened to taxi

Is it really that hard to provide this poster with a reference to the policy against abbreviations you state exists? Also, what kind of policy is that? You do understand you would have to ban anyone using "you'd, can't, I'm, etc." since these are all abbreviations?

Please explain yourself as this seems to be a very concerning way to moderate an instance as big as yours

I know this is an issue you've been going through for a long time, and I understand how difficult it is to finally come forward.

I hope you can find peace and strength to carry on. Unfortunately you've violated the handwriting policy and will be banned for 14 days.

Legend has it qrstuv has still never elaborated on the abbreviations policy to this day...

Sometimes, on especially cold winter nights, some say you can still hear qrstuv whispering about the name.

I read "sh" as an abbreviation for 'shit head'. Not sure if thay was intended but grammatically it fits perfectly.
"shh" doesn't fit.

Anyway, this user is clearly being a sh and deserves the ban simply for their reaction. Never in my life have i attempted to seek information in such a hostile way even after being banned. lol

And now you asked more questions, but then told me to shh, so there are some mixed messages here

The restraint to not participate in the comments here is a marvel of human potential
