      Depends on the mod, sometimes it is very specific (“sealioning”, “civility”, “trolling”) and sometimes it’s more general (i.e. “rule 4”, “rule 3”). As you well know as all those examples above are from the explanations of your removed comments.

      And it’s fairly rich for you to speak on behalf of the community. But your semantic games aside, your ban was for a form of trolling. That’s a factual and true statement not up for debate. You can either move forward from it or not, but you can’t pretend it didn’t happen.

        My ban reason says “sealioning” and not “trolling.” If they wanted to ban me for “trolling” they could have said “trolling.”

        If you wanna think both are exactly the same, then have at it. But they have different names. I stated the facts. I didn’t write the rules of this community, so feel free to take that up with the mods.

        I haven’t pretended anything. The modlog is public. Feel free to look at it and see for yourself. Thank you!

          @jordanlund@lemmy.world Very sorry to @ you, but it seems that UniversalMonk isn’t aware that he was banned for a form of trolling. Could you clarify for him, as he’s claiming that because his ban was for “sealioning” and not “trolling”, that’s somehow different. TIA

          Now that you have a response from a mod on the fact you were indeed banned for trolling, we’re good, right?

            Well you are certainly free to say that now if you want to.

            But I will keep saying that I was banned for “sealioning” because that’s what the modlog says. I fully expect you to jump in every time I say it, to update with your thoughts.

            Because I can see that it’s very very important to you. So I totally support you believing and saying whatever you wish.

            And I respect the mods, but I disagree with them. And that’s fine. It’s their community, their rules. I have no hard feelings about it.

            And it won’t stop me from posting. Thank you!

              Thank you I guess? Such a boon.

              But I will keep saying that I was banned for “sealioning” because that’s what the modlog says. I fully expect you to jump in every time I say it, to update with your thoughts. And that’s ok!

              I mean, you were banned for sealioning, which is a type of trolling - as one of the community mods explained. To deny you were trolling now would probably give the mods something to think about next time you become an issue. Denying you were trolling just shows you’re not here to engage in good faith and makes every post and comment you make suspect.

                  So trolling then, got it.

                  You stated:

                  My ban reason says “sealioning” and not “trolling.” If they wanted to ban me for “trolling” they could have said “trolling.”

                  We got clarification from the mods that “all sealioning is trolling"

                  Are you still going to be claiming otherwise?
