1. The #PayKuhan thread is a troll thread. The bets thread, if it wasn't intended to be so in the first place, quickly turned into #PayKuhan 2.0. Mods had every right to close both of them.
But others threads where trollings is rampant is not just not closed but encouraged by the moderators. Ie, any Emeriti thread Proteus is involved in mud slinging for example. As a moderator he shouldnt involved in mudslinging which will always derail the threads further.

2. I raised issue with how the bet thread was addressed like half an hour after it was closed. Since it was discussed privately I won't get into the details, but I do want people to know that I raised the issue and that I'm still doing my best to take care of this place, even if I'm not all that active posting.
Your moderating isnt in question though, i feel im pretty frank about whos I am questioning. Alltought I do not agree with all your opinions and what not you do fair job of moderating this community.

3. There is no "rule" about mods moderating threads which involve them. Allonon and Proteus do this as a courtesy to forum goers who are less comfortable with mods that are actively involved in top play. Mods are within their rights to moderate anything they feel is against the rules. And for what it's worth, I've taken their rule to mean that they won't actively moderate any thread involving their kingdom and any conflicts those kingdoms may be involved in.
And now you shattered that illusion. :)

4. I've seen no reason believe that Proteus or Allanon have abused their powers in any way and that includes their "we won't moderate threads involving us" courtesy.
Well I got banned for very difuse reasoning that wasnt even true. When confronted albeit crudely asking for proof of these so called "warnings" i have recieved I got just threats of bans and more false accusations.


I raised this questions with David alltough he replied that he would look into it he never got back to me with it. So either he just ignored it or didnt find any anything suspcious (Which i didnt think he would cause you know moderators never get any blame here).
