It was told by the ownership that links outside of CA are not allowed "in public" as confirmed by other mods and admins. The only rule that was posted was clear about it actually.
Yeah I'm okay with that. I was trying to clear it up for future reference because so far rules were about no links "in public" which means main, fourm, profile etc. This is a completely different issue tho. Links addresses and so on, were exchanged in private here since ages ago, if that's not allowed any more, it's a pretty drastic change.
here is what i do, for unsee links, 30 mins, no warning. i also dont wanna be clicking into that filth. session links are also mostly filth, use ure judgement here as sometimes it is not pedo related,
Link that was reporter was a chess link, that's hardly considered a harmless link. It wasn't wanted because it was sent to the wrong person by mistake. Mods aren't supposed to kick someone just because they've seen a report, the nature of the report is very relevant and mods are there to check what is about, not to blindly mute and kick. I wasn't really asked about it or anything, I was threatened immediately without any questions asked. Link was sent in PM, not in main, there's exactly 0 rules against it.
This. The action wasn't against the reported link, I was told I'm going to be kicked for 2h straight if I send ANY link to ANYONE in pm.
Just to offer a shift in perspective here... If I'm a moderator and I receive a report of a PM with an unsolicited link with no other conversation in the PM, that's going to look suspicious and potentially malicious and I very likely would have taken action on you as well. Now, I don't know if the PM had any other dialogue besides the link exchange, so you'll have to clarify that. If there was dialogue in the PM, I likely would have read through the PM exchange for suspicious content and made a determination based on it. As a moderator of room where nearly every link that is posted has explicit and often illegal content, I would never open a link I did not recognize and trust. So on that end, I think Moose acted appropriately to make a determination regarding the link without opening the link to verify content. On the flip side of all this, I also see it from your perspective - you were playing chess with some friends, wanted to invite another friend, and accidently clicked the wrong PM window when you pasted an invite link to play a game. So of course you were upset when you were booted out, and I understand why you came here to raise the issue. No one seems outwardly in the wrong here... From the perspective everyone had, their actions seem to track.
