Nylon doesn't like me at all (has me blocked for example), and I'm somewhat neutral about nylon (I haven't blocked him or anything).
But I don't like self appointed mini-mods running around getting friendly people muted.
Colby made a topic about wanting to be a mod, and the mods laughed in his face. So now he's doing it the roundabout way. That's not how a healthy community is made. The mods already do the job of moderation.
Exactly. Unfortunately, all who were in the argument involving the unnamed member had a part in it. Including me. That’s the worst part of it.
Look, if 80% of my posts are reprimanding people to stay on topic and telling them where and how to post (even if I didn't make the topic) I'm being obnoxious.
And if I'm obnoxious enough it's only a matter of time until someone says they don't like me.
After that it's simple. I baited it, and now I can report them for saying they don't like me.
This is literally 10 year old schoolroom tactics. You poke a kid, and when the kid pokes you back you whine to the teacher.
So the mute was just targeting Nylon because of his posts asking for order? Correct me if I’m wrong, but’s that’s how I view it.
Look, only mods know exactly why he was muted, and they do a good job.
The mods do a good job.
Which is why we don't need self appointed mini-mods running around being obnoxious and provoking people.
I reported Nylon, because he was harassing me with that topic.
Looks like I was correct then

“self appointed mini-mods”? Are you talking about the club? Because if so, I hoe that doesn’t remain true. The whole argument I had was the person accusing me of acting like a mod, when all I pointed out was the violation.
That stuff isn’t okay. It didn’t seem like harassment to me, and I’m in the cleaning group! Not justified.
“self appointed mini-mods”? Are you talking about the club?
No, I'm talking about Colby.
I wonder if we can get intimidation added to the TOS?
I knew about it. But it’s so out of character [for nylonsock]
Exactly.
So I think the mods probably muted Nylon for the right reasons, because the mods here do a good job.
But I think Colby provoked Nylon to get to that point... which is not good.
Nylonsock doesn't "systematically harass" anyone. Don't start spreading lies about him.
I'm probably the person he hates most on chess.com, and he's never "harassed" me.
lol @colby-covington
I'm going to start screenshotting your posts if you keep deleting them like this.
(My guess is you posted it in the wrong topic and are spreading lies about Nylon somewhere else at the moment)
I don't think Nylonsock got muted because someone reported him. In exchange of inbox message, one gets AutoMute for using banned words. I experienced it Twice.
If you don’t know already, @Nylonsock has been muted. A well-known cat who gave Chess.com a love for catnip. And I was part of the incident.
If you haven’t heard what happened, it’s quite complicated. There was some controversy between him and another member, which mostly got resolved. Then a unnamed member stepped in and took over the post. Several other member and I got into a heated argument about how the member violated the ToS somewhere else. I left the conversation right before the death blows, so I don’t know if Nylonsock got involved, but if not, it was a tragic way to be muted. I should’ve stopped before things went out of hand, and I apologize for my part. If anyone else have any extra information about the mute, I would be grateful to help correct my interpretation of the events.
Long life catnip!
