User blog comment:Flockky II/I'm Almost Retiring/@comment-3225604-20141229052114

I believe the case could be happened in a much smaller, at least without that much confrontation going on and less devastation. The case could be solved if both parties could admit their faults. Flockky, if you don't have enough evidence to accuse Lefty of abusing his powers, you should not frame him. From what I know, Rose has done something wrong, where he should not have intimidated Olaf back. Although Olaf should bear responsibility of intimidating Rose first and try to swear (don't think that it's just as usual to censor bad words, because you genuinely did swear.), it would be unfair for Olaf when he is blocked while Rose is not. Olaf's block should be longer than Rose in my opinion but two hours is the lowest on the other hand safest a chat mod can give to a user. I'm not defending anyone here. In my honest opinion, Rose should apologize since he did annoy Olaf. I'm not sure about the drama on Fanon Wiki. After all, the case would have ended if Rose didn't annoy Olaf. If you still think that Lefty really abuses Rose, go report in Community Central.

For Flockky case, I'm sorry to say but the block is reasonable. Going insane and swearing is definitely not allowed. For example, can you release a criminal who convicted a murder just because he has psychosis? A block is definitely suitable for you to calm down. Now the problem is the blocking period. A week would be too much since it appears to be your first time doing this. Two hours would be the most appropriate. Since you've apologized, I will lift your ban after my deep thoughts. Unfortunately, regaining adminship depends on the bureaucrats (I'm not a bureaucrat). I know you will feel worried about Rose, but losing temper shows you immaturity rather than your care.

For Lefty, although I would not say his actions are blatant abuse, he should have done much better. Rather than shutting them out, he should have mediated them or at least understand what's happening. In this case, he should explain the consequences to both of them. I can see Lefty is rather hopeless but the situation is not a total argument with insults and swears and spam The situation is not enough to be blocked. I also suspect whether Lefty is lying to me of the list of witnesses. Storm claimed not to be there and cannot recall the events. In conclusion, the reason for the ban is intimidation and disturbing others. I understand, but the block is enforced too early that some measures could be taken to prevent it happening.
