I have seen too many users being called shills because they openly disagreed with someone. I have also seen users called trolls for using humor (or attempt at humor).

    Hey, the rules are the rules. I'm not arguing about the u/JasonCarswell ban. Even though I like seeing active users here, especially of the "creative" kind, I understand why you chose (not that I agree nor disagree) to ban him. There is a difference between being correct and being right, though. You have great power here, especially with M7 being MIA. It's easy to see every problem as a nail when you hold a hammer as your main tool. With that power comes greater responsibilities, including staying above the fray while interacting with users.

    The following is my own opinion, so take it or leave it:

    I appreciate some kind of policing on this site and that is your job now with M7 MIA. I also appreciate you being so available when there is drama you're involved in. Part of my problem with all of this is that you are extremely quick to label users as pedophiles. I think pedophiles are the lowest of the low and have no place here nor anywhere in society. You did not prove your case that Jason is a pedophile (or any type of chronophilia), however awkward Jason's wording was in that PM to which you linked. That is a dangerous and maybe even illegal route to take because it can amount to libel. I think you need to be more careful on what you say, even if you're going out of your way to be transparent. I think moderation of a site this size and with these dynamics can be difficult for a 19 year old with so little life experience. You must learn fast if you don't want to wreck this place and run the productive users off.
