A thread for AndrewJRenko disputing a warning in AH

Thanks Spear.

I want to dispute the warning I got from Raichu for this fairly mild post.

I have some previous history with this mod, detailed here;

My reply was in the context of the other poster bringing up the suggestion of 'asking Mom', so I turned that suggestion back at them. It wasn't aggressive, and I've confirmed with the poster in question that they weren't offended by it.

Raichu gave me a warning and a two week ban from AH, in what I can only describe as a fairly aggressive message to me. I can share details of his PM here or privately. It's hard to see anything in that post that justifies either of these.

I replied to his warning asking for clarification, referring to the context of Packrat's original post and indeed comparing to Raichu's own post in the same thread. I got no response.

I'd appreciate a review of this.

Andrew.

Here!

Andrew, can you share the exchange with Raichu either here or privately, whichever best suits?

• Maybe try not being a dick when commenting in future? Honestly this is become enough of a problem with you I think you need a little holiday. 
• 2 week AH ban. You’ll be back in time for Christmas, but I advise you to study the charter and revise your posting style upon your return or Santa will leave a permanent ban in your stocking this year.

• You did see the context of the post I was replying to, right?
• It would be helpful to understand the difference in acceptability between my post and "wallets are for squares OP.. you’re not a square are you? Cos if you are I’ll have to ask you to leave immediately."

The quoted bit in my post is from Raichu's own post in that thread.

Hi Andrew,

Is that the entirety of the exchange?

AndrewJRenko

Yes, I got no reply to my request for clarification

Hi Andrew,

I've reviewed this and decided against the ban. I'll lift it once I post this comment. However, the reason I am lifting it is that while the moderator was right to sanction you, a two week ban was too big a jump. An infraction or a one day ban would have been fully justified IMO.

I advise you to reconsider your posting style as you've received a few warnings lately and the next step will be a ban if you continue posting as you are.
