Banned from Discord server for blocking someone doing @everyone pings

I like the moderation here.

Although bans can be overly long, the team generally has hands off in a lot of places, and does not step in very often.

I think the team here, do a great job.

On the other hand, perhaps there is less active mods here, and in fact, some of us get away with stuff because it may not be caught in time to stop the madness…

I’m new to the community and I saw that all that happen on the discord after getting the ping. I haven’t seen a discord with drama that juvenile in a long time. I left immediately. No reason to stick around when it’s the mods stirring up drama and antagonizing folks when they react.

I have never used Discord, and right now that is sounding like the right choice. :sweat_smile:

No idea what exactly went down there, but the order of magnitude of the pings involved makes it funny:

  • ping @everyone: OK, wasting collective hours
  • ping a single mod: ban

PS: The ugliness of Markdown: \@name still counts as a reference here…

Unless this isn’t you, you’re not banned.

Left the discord a while back when someone tried to argue to me that Nazis were socialists and a couple others even agreed. Not sticking around where such blatant misinformation is tolerated.

well they were… its in the name. I had a discussion with somebody online once that they basically cherry picked the populous aspects from both sides to gain power. Ultimately they only cared about power.

but anywho… on discord I just adjust notification settings to ignore @everyone.

They were allowed back in

I was wondering that those pings were, I couldn’t figure out where they were coming from so I just left the discord.

Seems like I took the easy way out lol

there’s a discord?..

given wendell’s position on discord I wouldn’t be surprised if there were honeypots hidden throughout it.
