DrBipper permanently muted me while letting someone else off with a warning. I just got unmuted the other day and to be perm muted like this again for no good reason is very sad to see from this server’s moderation team. </span></p>

Around 5-10 minutes prior he direct messaged me in game about buying a recipe off of me and I said no. I can’t help but see the relation between the two interactions.</span></p>

I don’t mean to throw another player under the bus, but “Vedel” made the same joke prior. I believe we both don’t deserve any punishment but permantly muting me and just warning someone else for the same joke is absurd. </span></p>

There is no debate that what I said was not a mutable offense, this decision by DrBipper speaks to the root of the problem this server has. I am not aware of the logistical decisions that come when promoting a mod, but from my perspective some staff members are using the low player count as an excuse to abuse their permissions which is inherently horrible for the server’s success.
I shouldn’t even have to make this appeal, the server will die if punishments are handed out this much. No one will want to play. </span></p>
