Oh piss off.

Obviously I'm bringing criticism of aussie.zone in that thread, so may not be welcome to some here, that's fine. But I think it's of interest to see how the mod team protect one of their own by selectively shaping a conversation. My criticisms of that mod were well founded and should be allowed to stay up in a healthily modded sub. But all too frequently on reddit, because yes, some users are willfully abusive to mods, they go way too far and delete all criticism of mods. And criticising Zagorath wasn't even my main point. I only mentioned them to demonstrate how foot-stomping on the head of a good r/brisbane contributor when they come across to a new community you're trying to get started isn't particularly smart behaviour from one of the r/brisbane mods (who is now very active here).

I got first muted and then banned today from r/brisbane (wrong way around, because the ban message invited me to respond to the message, which I obviously couldn't do, already being muted). Towards the end the mods were obviously freaking out, despite continually patting themselves on the back for 'giving me a lot of leeway'.
