The decision to ban Noodehammer was, frankly, unanimous. Posts explaining the rationale behind his ban have been posted in several threads at this point, which I am linking here, here, here, and here.
We had already talked to Noodlehammer privately before about this kind of thing. He proceeded to go on about holocaust denial of all the terrible topics he could've possibly gone on about. The staff convened and unanimously decided to eject him from the forum after seeing that we'd already talked to him privately.
Yes, the warning wasn't given publicly but frankly, our users aren't actually entitled to view every aspect of another user's dirty laundry. You're also not entitled to back-end mod decisions the staff here on QQ makes.
I make these points because you appear to be under the delusion that you are entitled to those things. You are not. That is not a privilege that has been conferred upon any of you for a very, very good reason. This thread is, in fact, emblematic of those reasons.
This thread remains locked, again, for obvious reasons. No good can come from it.
The thread's OP has also been put on mute for a month. I will be blunt. This is the most backsass I've seen over a mod decision in a long, long time. It's made more galling by the fact that the mod decision in question was unanimous. Every single member of the staff who looked at the report Noodlehammer generated agreed - Holocaust denial was, actually, a topic that is verboten on QQ. There was no dissension. There was no disagreement from any members on QQ's mod team about this subject. No members of the mod team tried to perform gymnastics in logic to justify holocaust denial like so many of our users appear to have done - in this thread and in quite a few other threads.
Let me be perfectly clear. Holocaust denial is bad. We don't tolerate discussions of such on this forum. End of speech.
If more threads or posts pop up in the same vein as this one, mutes of increasing length will be continuously conferred until the offending posters give up, or we end up having to evict them permanently from QQ.
This is not up for discussion.
