I'm planning it to be the last post I make regarding The Second Archon War and its author, which I've ranted extensively about in the past:

Spoiler

The post that finally got me banned on SB. Without a chance to appeal.

I've already talked extensively about my issues with TSAW.

It had been up for at least six days before someone (or some people) finally took issue with it.

Apparently criticizing a story is "harassment" if it's a story written by a mod.

The author's response. Notably, he does not address or try to refute or justify the things I criticized, he just says "Get a hobby and stop slandering me".

Lying about him banning me? It had been years and since it was his thread, well, I'd assumed he'd done it. I did check and see that someone else whose name I can't access now because of my permaban was the one who TBed me.

But considering how angry he gets at criticism and his mod status, as outlined in the first linked post in the second line of this post, well...

I currently can't prove that FullParagon had other moderators thread ban people who criticized him to keep his hands clean, but I can't disprove it either.

"Asking for people to be tortured to death?" To avoid violating rule 8, in the leadup to the WWIII arc, I asked if the Tsaritsa would be willing to tolerate certain real-life traditions and documented historical behaviors in her nation's military forces. With the unspoken implication that it would be bad if she did.

Alas, apparently that is the same as advocating for it.

To avoid violating rule 8, instead of directly linking to those posts, search up my name in the thread https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-second-archon-war-worm-genshin.1100340/, type my name into the "By:" Member" section of the search bar, look at my most recent posts, and decide for yourselves where not I was advocating for torture or generally in the wrong.

My main point is that people shouldn't be afraid to criticize a story if a moderator is writing it, nor should a moderator be able to intimidate critics into silence with threats of thread bans and beyond, especially if the things they are talking about are the same thing's the author was talking about (i.e., real life politics, events, and historical figures alive or dead) in the exact same thread

This post does not violate Rule 8 in and of itself. As always, caution should be exercised regarding any more detailed in-thread discussion of contentious topics from the thread on SB.

Do you have any specific examples I should be aware of? Please?

When it comes to R8 topics on the SB rant thread talk about the discussion not the topic. The behavior, not the content.

Rants is an area where R1 is slackened and the metrics posts are judged by there is usually these

For the most part, act in good faith and you are fine.


1: Play nice with the other members on the forums.

• Do not make personal attacks on other forum members.
• Constructive criticism is not only allowed, but encouraged.
• Kink-shaming is a violation of this rule. Stating a preference is fine, stating a dislike for a kink is fine, but making judgements against those that like a kink is NOT fine.
• Swearing and profanity are allowed, but again, common sense applies, do not be overly abusive.
• This rule is somewhat relaxed in the rants section, but make sure that anything said in there, STAYS in there.

8: Current politics is a banned subject here.

• This rule applies to real life current politics. At the time of this rule is written, this means things like Trump, feminism vs men's rights, SJWs, etc.
• It does NOT apply to things such as stories featuring past events like WW2, Vietnam, nobility, royalty, etc. If it's something that happened 20+ years ago, it's most likely fair game.
• Probably more than any other rule, the practice of asking if you're unsure is very wise. You won't get punished for asking.

Does severely criticizing the author's writing and implying that he is using his mod status to go after his critics count as a "personal attack"?
