It seems both sides have had their say and this is only going to go in circles so I’ll just quickly say this. @Freddy_922 you have a point that the words instigating and mod abuse can be subjective. But the owners have given moderators the leeway to determine the action for each instance, using their best judgment.
As for instigating/disrupting the room, the moderator has to consider ALL the ******** in the room. If you and a few others enjoy arguing, no one is saying you can’t. Just do it in PMs or better yet, get VIP, create your own side room and fight to your hearts content. As adults I think we all know the difference between good natured banter and disrupting the room.
As for mod abuse, each moderator has their own tolerance level for abuse, so you’ll have to accept that some mods will have a lower tolerance than others. Personally, mine is pretty high, so if a user PMs me railing at me and calling me names, it’s easy for me to just ignore that and go about my business. While another mod might find that offense and take action against that chatter. And that’s their prerogative that needs to be respected.
I guess this wasn’t as quick as I intended it to be 🤦🏻♂️😂
