Hi again, fren! Yes, the vibe here is great. I come here upset and the posts talk me down from my anger and frustration. How could something like that be seen as bad?
I picked up a 3 day ban for poking fun at a mod. In retrospect I hadn't really taken into account they get a lot of stick, day in day out, so it was a bit thoughtless of me.
Still, the mod took it personally and thought I'd meant it personally too, so even though contributors can have 'only human' days, so can mods.
Glad you got a second chance and learned. I have to admit I deport any and all severe dooming and let the mods decide what they think. I saw how bad it got on TDW which was the whole reason I came over here. I refuse to let what happened there happen here.
This place seems to be fairly moderated. Back on Voat, it was "anything goes"; don't recall anyone being banned in the years I was on Voat every day. Granted, I have greatly toned down my invective aimed at non-Whites, and the Chosen People of Abrahamic persuasion. I now work at only helpful and informative post replies.

Not a sign of being nice, but a clear sign of an ability and willingness to think, which is MUCH more important....

I love it here!
Welcome back!
I've been here a month now as an active commenter.
I've noticed a lot of your comments and I like them. You strike me as a really passionate person. It's easy to have days when the frustration sets in.
The mods let you back because they are sure you are not a shill.
Don't worry; it happened to me after January 20th. Until I realized that this could be all part of the plan.
They seem to be doing a great job!! Thanks, Mods!
