you're the type of player who makes modding really fucking annoying

mod teams often have an idea of which journals should be accepted into comms after apps have been processed. it's not unreasonable that the mod team would accept a character journal before a taken list comment is made because 99% of the time the comment gets made within the same hour/day/week of acceptance.

should the mods have notified the player first? sure, it would've been a courtesy, but they shouldn't have to when the 'comment to the taken list' step is included in the acceptance notes already. just appeal the mod decision instead of making a stink about it.

The mods could’ve given them a heads up before sweeping them out the game since they were active. It just seems like Ref honestly forgot to comment on the taken list, but I don’t think this was all wankgate worthy.

It’s been a tough month for some people, showing a little bit of courtesy wouldn’t hurt on the mods behalf.

Unfortunately, Ref just cemented they can never come back to Lab after dragging this whole mess here. It’s ban on sight after this.

idk, it looked to me like the player who started this was just mad Ref had been allowed in the game to begin with.

either way, it really isn't asking too much for a new player to the game to get a single reminder from the mods, and per the above, apparently the mods themselves agreed. the player has been allowed to return to the game without reapplying or any other penalties. honestly? good on the lab mods for doing so. this whole discussion just made me feel bad for them, because their playerbase seems to be foaming at the mouth, be it against the mods or in defense of them...

it's possible that a single mod who either doesn't like this player or is heavy-handed with their modly powers made the original sweep decision and now the sanity of the other mods has prevailed.

they come out of it not looking too bad, anyway. there's no proof that anyone anonposting here is in the game at all so i wouldn't worry too much if i were them.

yeah, we shouldn't be holding wankgate up as a source of true and unbiased information.

in what world is sweeping somebody who didn't make their ac requirements 'being heavy-handed with their modly powers'

isn't that how ac works like i'm

Good on the mods for allowing Ref back in! I just hope the player appreciates the gesture.

pretty sure buttmad op wasn't ref so i would assume ref and the mods are both fine with it now that it's sorted

there might have been a chance for a civil appeal to be made to the mods about their player-notifying process here, but that's sure going out the window with the completely unnecessary tantrum being thrown here for all to see instead lol

if op isn't ref then they're sure giving ref a terrible look and making things 10x worse for them. and also making the playerbase look like a bunch of harpies who'll throw an anon fit at the slightest misstep instead of actually bringing up any concerns with their mods, yikes

oh it's too funny seeing people actually come to the correct conclusion but either be ignored or convince themselves it's untrue.

it doesn't matter how many times the truth was said right from the horse's mouth, either, about not being ref and not being upset ref was swept. of course it was all ref, obviously, not someone else in the game who didn't like ref, never wanted them accepted, and has beef with the oth mods.

you're all very stupid.

i thought you said you were flouncing out of the thread, op?

is that supposed to be a gotcha moment? I came back to look because shit changed. the player got let back in, because some of the mods got scared and caved. it's bullshit but it happened.

lol no but it's funny that i was right

why are you so unhinged about this

you're clogging up flatview with the most banal shit i've ever seen

damned if they do damned if they don't.

No wonder people don't want to mod anymore.

"mods got scared and caved"

of what, of wankgate?

Dude,can we just stop feeding them now? Whether or not this is Ref or LiLi or whoever, they're going into "uncomfortably unstable" territory imo, and it seems like they're not going to give it up if people keep paying them any mind. Let the fire burn itself out.
