Apparently, after 9 years and 600 posts, it became known I was a WSU fan.

I said nothing of the sort. In fact, you have to go back quite a ways to see any posts from me. I came across my name dropped and you asking. Figured since almost all other fans are no longer posting here, I would fill the gap for you.
Just waiting for my turn.

We have long pending stuff to resolve. And I feel a little bit more dead inside after having spent an hour going back over all those threads and PMs.

RE: Did Cold get banned?
Being past 5 AM, I'll go straight to the TL;DR:
- DSB: Not happy with being hasty as a mod. Was removal the right call over that? Hard to say. It's more or less a gut call on my part.
- Have no context of the backstory of CB and really don't care to learn about him outside the boards ... my decisions here are based on actions here.
- Seems that shocker/CB/several others have a more confrontational posting style than is normative on ... well ... all the boards here other than the Spin Room. Some openly state even the existence of moderation is a negative. And that dog just won't hunt anywhere there is advertising at play because advertisers demand content standards and Google DOES enforce them.
- This smells like a few other move-ins of near un-moderated communities that have moved in in the past. Everybody piles in. Some subset of that everybody is abrasive and confrontational and "4chan-ish". That subset tends to get weeded out progressively and then suddenly and completely when things come to a head. In the aftermath, the group that remains is much more congenial and focused on relevant discussion and over time the board grows much larger by appealing to a broader audience. And quite frankly, that's what I desire. Quality over quantity because high enough quality generates quantity all its own. It doesn't help that this brought out the worst in people like BC#1 and others. Notice though after they got a taste of moderation they reformed.
- Have there been some marginal moderation decisions against WSU posters? Probably. But after having read through a **** load of logs, man a lot of this is just petty. Trench warfare over the most trivial of "gains". Nobody can dare admit they're wrong or overreacting of course ... this is the internet!
- Have WSU posters received heavier moderation than existing posters? Well yeah but again I think that's a cultural clash. Their expectations do not overlap cleanly with normative reality here. The biggest knock I got on the people who've gotten the wrong end of moderation from the WSU fanbase are they almost always escalate the situation instead of defusing it.
- I'm going to leave all existing moderation decisions in place for a few days and let things settle out and calm down. It is in the hands of the local mods whether or not CB returns. If he does return, it will be without access to the AAC Conference Talk board and with the understanding that his reappearance is to serve to deescalate things rather than exacerbate them. If you want to make your case for his return, PM the AAC mods and state your case.
