Wait, saying you had a user Ignored or telling someone you were putting them on Ignore was never a ToU violation but someone being Blocked is?
Or is it just you >_>
Mods are very trigger happy when it comes to people discussing blocked users and users who have blocked them. They haven't yet ironed out the rules consistently in regard to that feature since it was implemented. Goats' history in regard to that is now causing him to be targeted for it. It briefly happened to me a few months ago and a moderator screwed up royally over it and suspended me for a non-violation while making false claims. It was overturned within a few hours thankfully. Goats was hit for the same thing I initially was (before the suspension) and now is getting that same treatment.
The full story is that he has been caught and warned multiple times for harassment by abusing the block feature. Naturally the punishments will escalate given that he has a history for pulling off that shit.
Initially yes, but now they are using history and history alone. The post that got his alt suspended was not a violation. He did not address anyone who blocked him. He did not @ someone he had blocked. He didn't even mention a single name. He basically just said "someone people can't see the warned general topics because they caused trouble in them." That isn't a violation of the block "rules" or any rules at all. They just said "oh. History. Suspended." That is what happened to me also, only whoever reviewed it realized the truth that I did nothing wrong, which is why it was overturned. I had spoken to multiple mods off site and they all agreed with me (even prior to the overturn).
This is very interesting because I was warned for ?trolling? when I stated that there are a number of users who contact mods off site to get posts moderated/overturned. Why was I modded for that?
I normally wouldn't have, but the suspension was clearly incorrect and there happened to be a mod online who I've known since before he was a mod so I asked him to look into it and then later mentioned it publicly and at least 1 other mod mentioned it. I don't know the situation or context in your case, shrug emoji. ---
