Well whether or not i've been a mod is somewhat unimportant since im not a mod here.
Different sites and staff handle things differently, sometimes based on situational circumstances. Some will give you warnings,temp bans, and then permabans. others will ban on sight of disregarded rules.
Personally, I think staff should diffuse the situation where it happens. Obviously you can't be active 24/7 unless you have no life or something but you get to it when you can. That happened but i feel like there was more asking for things to settle down than telling people to settle down.
I kinda meant the hypocritical comment to Ryon actually. I would say Ryon + staff but only Brock has posted about this (publicly anyway).
Regardless, for the sake of keeping things civil, i have nothing more to say.
