That isn't because I am perfect. I am not. It is because I don't care enough about two day bans to reconsider them.
tbf i took it mostly as a big fu to the people who were banned because he lied and said there was an "appeal the ban" button for those who were banned and that is certainly not the case
and also instructing people to take it to atf and where he and other mods then don't take it seriously at all and instead troll the op and even browser himself joins in posting memes where he cosplays as jack Nicholson ordering code reds
I'm with you on a two day ban, but his appeal does feel valid and there should be a process for appealing that is taken seriously and not one where you just get trolled for appealing as quite a few bans are egregiously bad in length and purpose
just going back in the thread you can see browser gave me a week off for telling him it was wrong for him to be banning so many people while also refusing to answer questions from people over what he considered a bannable offense (his answer was basically you'll find that out when i ban you) - he then claimed i was banned for "trolling" and then he goes and trolls really hard in the atf threads that he specifically told people who were disgruntled with with to go do to appeal his work
fwiw i think you're one of the best mods here and I'm not critiquing you nor this ban nor how you handled/are handling it now, I'm saying there should be a viable process for people to make appeals without fearing reprisal
