To clear up this confusion about "lashing out": You gave the impression of violating the TOS by debating an offline version and offering to provide information about it, so you could circumvent DMCA takedowns. That's when the volunteer mods had a group chat and decided a ban.



We've been here before - if someone points out that the contract is void, and you ban them for then talking about or doing things that the contract forbids, the proper action is to turn around to the people who make the product you're a community mod for and go "hey, uh, it looks like you've tricked us into enforcing an illegal contract" instead of banning the person pointing out the thing you're community modding for is in multiple violations of the law.


Volunteer mods? You mean racketeers?
