Almost every single time I've been modded, I knew in advance that what I said was going to be modded because it was blatantly against the ToS. The few other times were mostly borderline cases that I would have said shouldn't have counted, but which were generally understandable from the mod perspective.

Also, considering 90% of the time when people make a topic whining about how unfairly modded they were, if they admit what they were actually modded for it's almost always a case of "fair, next", I've been very much jaded in the sense that I now assume almost every complaint about how terrible the mods are is just sour grapes coming from a terrible shitposter who deserved it.

So if there is one thing I have learned after becoming a moderator it is that most people who complain about moderations really don't understand why they were moderated in the first place. Sure, a lot of that falls on us for not giving clear explanations about things we moderate (and there are discussions between the moderators on how best to do that) but some of that is just people not getting it. For example, they complain that they get moderated for their political beliefs, yet fail to understand that the way they presented those beliefs is what got them moderated in the first place. Like you can be a Trump supporter and not get moderated, but suggesting that everyone who disagrees with you has a made up mental disorder (TDS) is going to get you moderated every time.

Also the people who complain they get suspended every time they post something, but fail to realize that their moderation history (and the history of all of their known alts) plays a big part in how severe they get punished for even small transgressions.

I got modded once (warned, actually) for saying I voted for the first option when somebody was talking about the potd (the actual one) when the poll was the how old are you poll, and the first option was 12 and under

My account was 13 years old at the time. But the part that was so confusing was literally all I said was I voted for the first option but I can vote dishonestly or I can vote jokingly or I can be lying about what I voted for.. but either way, saying I voted for the first option is the stupidest thing I have ever been modded for

I got moderated for being underage because I made a joke about being a 7 year old with a 180 IQ to some guy who was asking for credentials for some opinion I had on a game.

Obviously they knew it was bullshit because they didn't perma me but still decided to uphold the moderation. That guy was a powertripping dork.

This. The new system is stupid because the mods dont have to say why they upheld their moderation in the first place and you can no longer appeal that decision to an administrator. The mods literally hold all the power over what you can and cannot believe and dont even have to tell you why theyre moderating you.

Yes I posted "There's nothing like the feeling of slamming a long silver bullet into a well greased chamber.". I got the moderation overturned because the mod didn't know this was a MGS reference.
Also it was like a decade ago.

Apparently Revelations got critically panned for being "drug-influenced", and the writers just got tired of all the controversy.

It's against the TOS to say somebody is autistic when they say they are?

The tos can be interpreted in a lot of ways, it comes down to it if you paint a target on your back or not. So stay out of the way of certain cliques and you wont get gang reported for doing what pretty much everyone else does.

Yup.

One time, I used the magic R-word (not the one denoting flame resistant material, the other one that there is no warning that it's a magic bad-word) to say a company was...ahem "taping" me financially, and I was hit w/ a moderation for being insensitive to tape victims, even though nothing in my post or the topic in general was about sex that could have confused the context, and I posted a definition of the word in my rebuttal showing it has multiple meanings and I had used it correctly, in the financial sense of the word.
Didn't fucking matter, so now to be safe I never use that word and use words like tape instead.

Another time, a guy on here said that "Germany lost its way after WW2," and I called him a nazi, and got a moderation for insulting him, which mods refused to overturn. He would respond by calling me a member of the JIDF (which I had to google, but apparently means "Jewish Internet Defense Force"). Which...made my initial reaction even more clearly correct.
Neither of his posts was ever moderated.

EDIT: I wish you could opt to keep selected moderation offenses forever, I consider the unjust ones badges of pride. I intentionally refuse to accept it just so it'll stick around longer and would love to have it forever to link/reference to, for the price of the lost karma points or whatever.
