Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless Mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

MODERATORS
Wait, let me get this straight. You're bitching about mod abuse in a thread in /c/yepowertrippingbastards
You understand this is an anarchist space. It's not lemm.ee or lemmy.world.
You're crying mod abuse in db0. I love it.
So you’re following me around now? I always wanted a pet troll!
Hey everyone, this person got WAY bent out of shape because I dared to post an opinion on PizzaCake. They got insulting and had their shit removed and now- I get to have a pet troll.
How fun!
Oh, and if you didn’t know, YPTB is the best place to call out mods. It’s kind of the point. Unless you’re here to validate the fact that the mods are above the rules of the community. In that case, no, it’s not anarchy-
That’s authoritarian.
You chose to follow me here. Let’s see how this becomes my fault.
Look elsewhere in the thread, I was already here before I commented on your post
Also check your modlog, your comments were removed as well. That's the nature of an internet slap fight.
My comments were removed for spamming a response to your nonsense. Not for being a troll, like you are doing here.
You really need to get a hobby. You’re bad at this one.
Admits to spamming, not a troll.
Sure, makes sense
It made you stop harassing me, didn’t it?
Did it? You got bored and went elsewhere to bother others.
Now I find you here. Bitching again.
You really like to tell people who they are and what they do. If only you’d do something with that gift instead of trolling people online.
Go away.
Yeah i understand that, the irony is you're calling out a mod, in a YTPB thread, for powertripping. That's what some would call a hat on a hat. I found it funny.
Neat!
