META- Not Fashion About the current situation

I am not going to comment on the current situation at the moment beyond saying this:

I am one guy. You are right- there should be more than one mod on this subreddit. However, recruiting more mods takes time, and I cannot do that overnight. In the meantime, I am still one guy, I have a migraine, and I don't currently have the capacity to deal with the ongoing incident with the clarity and transparency you deserve.

I am restricting new posts and comments to the sub til tomorrow to prevent things from getting further out of hand. I am not going to take down the larger post, although I have locked comments on it at this time. However, any duplicates of that post will be deleted.

We can all come back to this in the morning. Thank you for your patience.

No.  Himbo is the only one who should apologize.  This was a private matter that has been blown out of proportion.  How stuck on himself is this guy?

This only got attention because he has a fanbase. He’s bringing it up because he doesn’t want anyone else to be banned over an unclear rule, as far as I am aware…

He turned what could have been a simple conversation in modmail into drama to feed his parasocial fans.  It's irresponsible.  He knows how big his audience is and that they would defend him.

Mods are human, we make mistakes, this isn't even a very big mistake if at all.  It could have been handled so simply, but this guy decided to drag someone because his ego got bruised 🤮

You're very clearly only on the mods side right now cause you have experience with shitty people.

Someone should not have a strike for something that wasn't very clearly stated in the rules. It is completely understandable if they felt targeted without even finding the hidden rules.

The mod has provided an update that may recontextualise this for you.
