Abusing Mod (deleting rep + banning members for giving him negative popularity)

Hello HF

I writing this for behalf of the member who sold me a method and was suddenly banned. (Loved)

There is a mod on this forum who is banning members now if you give him -3 popularity. Originally he gave Loved a 1 month warning for “sales trashing”. Loved said even though he was mad about this, he shrugged it off and decided to -3 kawaii.

About an hour late he realized that kawaii deleted his negative rep and so he gave it back to him. Obviously popularity is based on opinion and staff members don’t have a special exemption from negative reps.

At this point, Kawaii deleted his neg rep again and BANNED him for 3 months. Unfortunately he masked the ban under what he had initially warned Loved for. As you can see, kawaii’s rep is still flawless because he deleted the msg again.

I’m going to give him a neutral rep for his actions, let’s see how he handles it. Wouldn’t be surprised if he magically deletes it again.

Be careful out there everyone. [warn]

The user was originally warned for sales trashing, and his posts on a marketplace thread deleted. The OP of that thread then alerted me to the fact that he'd simply added those posts again after I deleted them.

His ban is valid. Stop crying.
