I have worked as a copyeditor and proofreader at various times in my life. The curse of the text-focused Aspie is to notice every little incongruity, logical error, and peculiarity in what I read. I should be so lucky as to translate the ability to spot glitches in text into the ability to spot glitches in face-to-face interactions. Still no luck with that after more than 50 years. Anyway, this post by Alex:

So how are you interrupting it?


He isn't 100% sure a mod did this and if the mod did to this, this was intentional. That mod will never mod his forum again and he will make sure other people know about that person so they won't have that person be a mod for what happened here. That's how I interpreted it anyway.

This is Emor.
I don't have a lot to contribute due to the fact I quit using this site a while back due to its views on NTs, and how I thought it was also too addictive.
But I'd just like to say that the post I made on PsychForums, and the project, wasn't a malicious one. I was planning on going onto other forums for people with AS, recruiting secretly around 500 members who were ex WP users and had been treated badly or had left due to problems with the moderation and then on one date flooding the site with complains regarding the moderation, so the moderators wouldn't be able to censor them out.
TBH, I think it's ridiculous I've been banned for being critical on another site of the moderation techniques implicitly.
If sinsboldsly(who clearly was the one who banned me) thought my project was suspicious(even though I didn't give any details publicly) then she should have taken it upon her self(she has a responsibility as a moderator on WP to investigate into such things, for the better of WP) to contact me, rather than simply banning me. I also couldn't view the boards, and had to register a new account with a proxy. At first I thought I was IP banned, but once I'd logged in under my new account I seem to be having no problem. Which is confusing. I'd say cookies, but I've been on WP in private browsing mode and still got the same problem...
But yeah, obviously, I no longer need to do the whole project because it's happening now anyway.
It's a shame really because it would have been rather spectacular and I would have had something to be busy with for a couple of weeks... But in terms of the actual cause, the two current threads seem to be doing a fine job .
But I seriously think you should take some therapy or something sinsboldly. This isn't an insult, you just clearly have control issues. You're also incredibly impulsive
Also, for the WP moderators who feel betrayed, there's at LEAST a thousand other people who would want to be in your position(in terms of privileges), so don't act like it's some sort of burden. You should be grateful for being selected, not be bashing Alex.
Up to now certain moderators have being doing, frankly, a crap job, and just because you have a moderator tag doesn't mean you have some sort of superior judgement. Being a moderator on WP isn't some amazing thing. Most people I know personally on here could do a better job than the specific few who have been abusing their powers.
But yeah. That's my opinion on the subject.
It's more to further verify the claims against sinsbodly specifically, because most of what I've said other members have already stated several times.
EMZ=]

All I'm saying is that Alex's comment could be interpreted in several very different ways, depending on where the logical operators are placed in the sentence. It's up to him to clarify, really.

Personally, of the moderators I've dealt with in their role as moderator, I've found Sinsboldly the easiest to deal with.

Lau surely had a hand in banning me, for no reason. He had taken a dislike to me simply because I'd had an opposing opinion to his in a thread about a water filtration system. Either him and/or Sinsboldly banned me frivolously and without cause. And Mak was on my heels during that time too with his intimidation tactics and now I find he's been made a mod and while he is still operating in the same manner. If I get banned for saying this, so be it. I was devastated because this site was all I had and I didn't deserve to be banned.

Meadow, you're not alone. I was rushing to post something on WP after months offline and then I found I was banned. I became suicidal within a few seconds. I was in a public place and started sobbing and saying "I didn't do anything!" I mean, I must have done something, but nothing big and I never made the same mistake twice except for once, but this was way after that... so it's a belated banning?

*hugs* I know...I was sobbing too, for quite some time. I didn't do anything to deserve it.

When ShadesOfMe was banned by Lau she started feeling like hurting herself. Me too, but I couldn't do it. I tried, with a pen and then a knife, but it was too gross and painful.

They let her back in and then said there had been a mixup, or that they were giving her another chance, or something.


Maybe she's banned again, but I don't know.

Nope she's not. I saw her posts today.

I guess she wants to lay low and not get banned again, because she made no comments here and so she probably didn't read it so she thinks those 4 (or 3?) mods are still in power.
