A moderator with a Napoleon Complex took out his anger on me and banned me from chat when it was two other people
causing disturbance.

This guy basically gave me an ultimatum and I told him the truth : " I have nothing to do with that " , and
perma-banned me from the chat which is a pretty harsh thing to do considering I haven't even done anything ! !

I would like to get back in touch with a few programmers I met in there and love to learn and network with people,
but I don't understand this irrational retribution this moderator seemed to mete out to me (and probably other folks too for all I know).

I tried contacting Alex about this but he's completely unreachable.
I just need a little help contacting the brass so we can clear this up, either that or I should just give this site up.
Why come to a website that's supposed to be free and open-minded when you get bullied like this ??

Seems like it's just more of the same.

If you have any info and/or WP contact info I'd much appreciate it ! :)

Thx folks and Peace

The chat and the website are no longer linked(regardless of what it may look like considering that alex still has a link to the chat on here...)
With this being said the administrators take a glance here every now and then and hopefully you can talk with one of them soon.

That's a channel or chat operator, not a moderator. The two functions are entirely different and operate on different mediums.
IIRC the ChatOps on #wrongplanet have the same names on WrongPlanet.net so you could try PMing them - but otherwise, as spongy says, IRC and this website run independently from each other.

Just a quick quote to add to the discussion:

<pddgalore> oh, hermies don't get to be part of the ken and barbie society ? Perfection's a b***h, huh ?


This would appear to be the original ban reason, and a later re-ban was served on the grounds of evasion of the original ban.

In short, obvious trolling is very different from 'not doing anything wrong', and disrespectful and/or ignorant language is not tolerated. Thanks for raising this, though. It gave me some research to do that helped pass some time.
