I was just contacted by an ex-moderator of the Signalis Discord who wanted to share their own experience with the moderation team.
They told me they believed a small group of mods held most of the influence over ban decisions, and that this made it difficult for other mods on the team to challenge those decisions. They alleged that this small clique within the moderation team would sometimes decide they disliked someone before looking for reasons to ban them.
That said, I couldn't help but notice something that has been bothering me throughout this process. I spoke with several other mods and staff members who seemed surprised that I had even been banned or didn't know the reason behind it, despite being told my ban was a "collective moderator decision." Hearing this what this ex-mod had to say made those conversations feel harder to ignore now.
