Appeal: The biased and spite-driven moderation of UFSR

Postby Grug Island » Sun Feb 17, 2019 10:09 pm

Upset that an explicitly homophobic policy proposal was deemed legal, some UFSR members began discussing a sort of in game boycott against one of the nations that approved it. Soon, that nation joined with a sock puppet account and, under the guise of 'explaining the rules', began arguing with members of the UFSR before reporting us to the moderators. The moderators then began arguing in the UFSR board in their stead, and soon began suppressing posts, banning people for expressing their frustration at the region board being locked multiple times, and even banning our WA delegate, who had no activity for 5 hours. Bending "the rules" to punish a group you see as unruly out of spite and repeatedly proving yourself unwilling to apply those same rules to actual Nazis because, I quote, "We don't enforce political correctness in this game, nor do we guarantee you won't be offended" is unbelievable. Claiming LGBT people cannot jokingly say the word "gay" in a customizable field of their personal profile because it's allegedly offensive, and then immediately making a heel spin to defend free speech when a post saying "Heil Reich!" is reported is unabashedly biased and embarrassingly incompetent of the moderating staff.

This is all viewable on the board starting here:

If you have valid complaints of moderator abuse, please file them via the Getting Help page. Moderators cannot edit, delete, or otherwise alter the contents of your GHR, and mod abuse reports are flagged for immediate admin attention. Be sure to include all relevant links to what you are reporting as well as a clear and concise explanation of what the problem is. I must inform you that the administrators have very little patience for frivolous or outright fraudulent reports, and are liable to dismiss incomplete, unspecific, or wildly generalized complaints outright. (IE: "The mods are corrupt!" absent any evidence attached to the report.)
