Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

do you not see the question in the title
Just because you end a sentence with a question mark doesn't make it a question.
It looks like you're trying to ask "What are some effective ways...", but honestly the rest of the post doesn't seem to support that. And the poll is also an odd choice making it read as some low effort spam.

sherlock holmes over here
did you read the comments i included in the screenshot
Is the crime skipping "what are"?
People are constantly misunderstanding satire. I had someone report you just for your profile bio, which is low key hilarious.
lol thanks for chiming in
it literally says defender of freeze peach and people still take it seriously its amazing
Are we at the point of defending clumsy, hamfisted attempts at satire just because they're meant to be satire?
hes not defending the satire shown in the post in the screenshot because obviously that one is bad
Unless there's a rule against "bad" satire (which is very subjective), then it probably shouldn't be treated any differently than "good" satire.
are you the user who wont stop posting about “minion butts”?
you should be fully banned
i posted that once and had to repost it elsewhere because it was removed
