At present, there are 20 moderators. Some follow precedent, some don't, but ultimately they all have their own benchmarks for what is or isn't acceptable. As a result, there are far too many flaws within the way this site is handled; from a sheer lack of understanding, to grudge driven decisions, to blindly sheeping one another upon request (this can be highlighted as my appeal has been hand-picked from the open reports and immediately sustained by Totori).
I was going to write up a large OP about this, but quite frankly I'd only be wasting my breath.
Bottom line is quite simply this - a 20 man weeb squad isn't going to bode well when it comes to website moderation.

It's widely acknowledged that Slowbro is bad with reading comprehension, there's tons of threads under complaints where he just comments something sarcastic/jokey. I would ignore him.
Whilst I'm open to discuss the violation in itself, the general impression I have tried to give in this thread is that there are issues with moderation inconsistency, and that I don't think it's fair to reprimand users when it suits the moderator in question. As Katie, pereking and Retti have previously mentioned - community violations tend to get handed out as a means to exert authority. Obviously this isn't the case all the time, but it is certainly something that exists.
