      So after I pointed out that someone couldn't follow what I said but put words in my mouth and I then explained the logic, the same person (who turns out to be a moderator) goes and deletes my explanation to him that showed, in a totally nice way, why the assumptions had been made. Nothing negative about the OP or even to the moderator. But simply "this is why I was right, or least my base logic" and "why what you think I said isn't true."

      And then... deleted for having explained myself - by the very person that made the attack against me.

      I've reached out to the official powers that be to look into it.

        Throw it to the paid moderators (if any are still employed)

        No reason to let them continue to bully posters who are there to make the community wiser.

          I emailed in and posted a topic because there needs to be a rule about people deleting others in the same discussion. Community mods are fine as a concept. But allowing a mod to attack someone themselves and then delete them responding should never be allowed, no matter how obvious it might "feel" to the mod in question. There are other mods for a reason, use them.

            I think that "modhat" is the new term over there for "asshat".

              Real question, if you read what the second mod posted... he told us to intentionally let the OP hurt himself. He ACTUALLY SAID IT.

                I don't quite see that in the screenshot. . . . can you clarify . .

                If he's saying stop being human and let people screw over them selves, it is more human to let people screw over them selves than it is to try and stop them from screwing over them selves.

                It actually takes effort to try and stop yourself from wanting to help. (it's more effort)

                Where as not doing anything means just going onto the next topic!

                  I'm upset enough that this was "official" on behalf of SW and that no one has stepped in that I'm taking a few days off. I'm deleting all of my SW posting backlog and probably won't sign in again until after SpiceCorps on Tuesday. I don't need to deal with their drama. It's too much schoolground bullying. The cool club gets together and pushes around whoever they feel like. No teachers to step in. If you aren't part of the clique, you are subject to whatever they feel like doing. No one stops them.

                  [Edit, the REAL official people were away but it was too many coordinating semi-official people that was the issue.]

                      Can someone please remove my account. I'm not on here that much and the Mango vs SW stuff is tiring to me. I don't see any way to remove or deactivate my account, so mods, please either show me how or do it on my behalf. Thanks!

                        SAM: Hey there! I see you are running towards a cliff! Let me explain the situation to you so you understand what your doing wrong, and see if I can get you to change your direction so you don't run off the cliff you are heading towards.

                        SW Mod: No, he may not want to hear that nonsense. Give him a push in the direction he's going!

                        I was a part of that topic and seen the whole thing. It's disgusting, and the above is pretty much how I understood it.

                          I'm posting here because I'm getting deleted over there. I need a place to know that it won't get censured for letting someone know what is going on.

                                  I'm taking a break from SW. The drama has gotten so bad and it's very personal. I don't know why they feel the need to act like they do, like bullies on the playground, but they do. The "secret order" problem is just too much. I need a cooling down period. I'm headed to Austin in two weeks and really don't want to deal with the com mods right now.

                                            Oh, well then... weird. Maybe they moved to attacking another region once the east coast was dealing with it a bit better?
