  • Eh, the part about your pre-join discussion is irrelevant as any given community may well have more restrictive standards than the instance, and it’s a benefit that admins not intervene in cases that aren’t egregious and/or in violation of instance policies.

    That being said, I think you got it right, a 2 hour ban is so borderline as anything at all, that it doesn’t merit much of anything here. It was definitely unnecessary, but it’s so minor that calling it power tripping seems dubious.

    Has the mod in question said anything about the temp ban beyond what’s shown? That’s just personal curiosity more than anything relevant, tbh.

    My take? If the action of a single mod is “chilling” your use of the rest of the instance, that’s a you thing entirely.

    Yeah, the action was unnecessary, but it was also effectively meaningless, so it’s one of those things you just shrug off and move on while blocking the community.

    Edit: leaving this up for context with the rest of the thread, but I missed a very important fact, that this was an admin action, not a mod action on a community. Ignore the fuck out of this drivel, please.











  • Probably tool making.

    It would take time to get back into it, but I was turning out decent knives, spear points, and arrowheads for a while there. Nothing that would blow anyone’s mind as art, but pretty enough and usable.

    One of those things I did just because I wanted to see if I could, and it turned out to be really relaxing and enjoyable. Arthritis took the enjoyable and relaxing part away, so I stopped, but on a survival level, I could get the job done well enough to make up for being a bottom tier hunter.
