Surprisingly.
What did you get banned for?
Sorry, didn't mean to ignore your question Bella. Just didn't notice it.
I wasn't banned under the current rules as administered by the current moderation team. In broad strokes, the forum had a bad day, I defended someone from a mod I thought was behaving badly, became paranoid I'd be banned for calling for that mod to step down, wrote some shit in my bio and a member of the team took exceptation to my describing this place as a lunatic asylum run by the inmates. My perma-ban was lifted when I asked to rejoin and was allowed to without making apologies or receiving any.
Shit happens. People aren't perfect. Mods are people too.
Other than the part about it being the current mod team, I agree. The mod team has completely rolled over since then. Before I retired, I was the longest tenured staff person other than Tiberius and Moros (neither of whom regularly participated in moderation duties), and that was (slightly) before my time. It was in April 2012, if I recall correctly. I joined the mod team in May of 2012.
ETA: I think I may have misread what you intended. By "current mod team", you meant the mod team in place at the time I think.
