I think the mods should collectively make a decision and weigh in on the matter together instead of pushing it of a couple of people. You've got a whole day to revisit and rethink the decision thoroughly.
Your meta abuse was quite a bit different, caroline. You and amish benefited from playing with each other every game - mw on the other hand has a known meta that he promotes about himself and doesn't lie about. It's two different types of using meta excessively to put yourself at an advantage.
i know they are both different but they are both meta abuse. me and amish would never n1 each other and stuck to that every game. mw used ate to prove he was town. it's all meta just different types of meta.

I just wanna say thanks to retti for actually trying to look at this case. It's not fair that people are being so rude to a mod that is just trying to do his job well. Honestly, bronto told me that you all were waiting for me to trophy before hitting me with the vio , which is just straight up mean. Thanks for knocking my dreams down. And caroline, I don't know what your dang problem is but i always liked you and you've just been a straight up jerk since I rejoined the site. Like seriously, I legitimately always liked you but what the heck changed?? And in terms of my play, no one wanted to actually help me fix whatever I was doing wrong, and since I stopped getting warnings I thought the changes I made were enough. If you all really cared, you'd have helped me fix it. But instead I get slapped with a vio after securing a trophy run, the morning of the LAST DAY? I'm being made an example of, and even though no one else seems to give a rat's butt, thank you Retti for standing up for me. It seriously means a lot that there are mods that still look out for the little guy.
you think im out to get you when im not lol. if i was reporting you to get you suspended this round i wouldn't have added games from last round. you think i hate you when i don't. i reported you because i was the only one who had the balls to do it and i was bitter that ive gotten a note for meta abuse and you havent
I looked at it pretty thoroughly and you didn't change much at all despite being warned. I read your PMs you sent me throughout the evening and most of it was you pleading ignorance.
And no, I said that we weren't going to bother suspending you from the round and giving you a violation if you weren't in position to win a trophy. I personally told you to stop doing what you were doing sometime end of last round / early this round, spoke to your mentor about trying to teach you not to do this on day 3 - I have a lot of *** on my plate to deal with already, I had been on my computer with hardly any break between 8 am and 11 pm, mostly dealing with site stuff - don't tell me I didn't look at it and that I'm being unfair. We gave you ample warning to change how you played and you didn't. Dezeriae is right, there's an expectation of the rules that you need to know as a player and be aware of. You knew that you were using this meta to prove yourself as town, as proven from the games I read and that others have pointed out to me.
I know this isn't an easy or fun decision to make, but this really was akin to the iwillneverlie guy in terms of how close you stuck with this "I only ATE as town meta", and how often you brought it up that that was that you do ("let me use ATE to clear myself here"). Comp is small, it doesn't take long for word like that to travel around and for most people to know that you're being 100% honest when you say that. It puts you at an unfair advantage and makes reading you much easier.
As far as Retti pausing the round again goes, I can't blame him for his concern about this, considering this is sort of new ground and admittedly I was in a bad mood yesterday, but I was content with what we had agreed on earlier in the day. I went to bed around 11:15 PM with the round unpaused. I am sorry that everyone has to wait another day while we revisit this discussion.

Idk how things work.. is that a real thing? Can I actually not defend myself? If so, i'm sorry I legit didn't know
MW, the understanding is that you were warned about this. Yes, defend yourself Please do.
