Verification for brand reps

Respectfully you’re making decorum based assumptions there of how you believe things here work or should work which is fine but, that doesn’t tell me if it’s actually how it is since no reasons were given, no message to the mods has been replied to, no nothing.

It’s not “expected” otherwise I would have gotten restricted when I tried making a thread in the first place, but it was allowed and it’s been up for almost 2 months so you can’t retroactively justify this as something I should expect.

It got restricted today because someone decided I was “untrustworthy” as you say, because I made a post in my own thread mind you, and suddenly out of the blue, with no prior notice, no warning I find out my thread got closed and I have this mark of ostracisation on my profile that declares to anyone that reads that I am untrustworthy everywhere I go on the forum with no clue if it’s a permanent status or how this ‘brand’ I now wear is treated by other people.

I was apparently quite trustworthy for the entire duration my thread was up for the past ~2 months, no doubt the mods saw it more than once in the past 2 months and never objected but something suddenly changed today. This is what confounds me.

I agree with you. What rsaeon mentioned about sparse posts is not a rule, and your restriction appears to be arbitarily applied.

The moderation here is completely untransparent IMO, and not at all up to par. Just because someone is a volunteer doesn’t mean they don’t have the responsibility of being transparent about moderation decisions and the reasons for them, especially because the decision is outside the posted rules. However, that’s the way it goes for this team, and I wouldn’t hold your breath for anything different.
