How to reach the discord mods about a ban ?
Edit after mod response : I have a macro on my mouse which paste the **entire** first chapter of "le temps des tempêtes" a book that became a french meme.

Turns out I clicked it on accident without even seeing it while the DRG discord was up, and the mods thought I was a bot as a result, and banned me. So yeah, it was on me.



Old text :

I joined the deep rock galactic discord somwhere along a month ago, and at some point it got removed from my active discords, and I can't re-accept the invite to it, so I feel like I've been banned.

I would love to reach out to the mods to know why I've been banned and if I can get unbanned.

Here's my post history, to show you why I'm confused about the ban :

For more than a week, I didn't post anything and lurked, read most of the pins, and enjoyed the content there.

Playing with my friends, we messed around, and I took a screenshot of a dwarf passed out in the middle of a big pile of empty mugs, and felt like that would be a decent meme.

So I tried to post it in meme, but couldn't. I rechecked some of the pins and couldn't find why, so I asked about it in general and got ignored.

I Guessed it was because of my status, so I gave myself the "driller" role and tried again and it worked.

A day after that the discord wasn't in my discords, and I had no message about it.

If I did something wrong, I would love to know what it was, but RN I'm just confused.

My discord tag is grosboulet#4617 if anyone wants to check what I posted.

Edit : spelling

"the mods say the mods are good" is maybe not the best argument possible

Yeah I agree with this. Don't just blindly assume all mods are good. I have seen some mods abuse their power before on discord, as well as other places outside discord.

A great place to see mod/admin abuse is in the Gmod servers lmao, like some of the moderators in that game are really toxic.

Not going to lie, I didn't even consider it.

I so used to thinking of steam as just a library it just didn't cross my mind.

The fact that "problematic moderators" keep being "in charge" despite all the claims of them "abusing their power" is proof enough to start with but people don't seem to get that part either.
People manage to abuse power and avoid being caught all the time though. And that's when it comes to important things, not just some discord server.
This isn't to say that the discord mods are bad (I've never been to the discord and have no idea what it's like), just that your arguments that they must be fine don't really hold up.

People get unbanned sometimes. It happens. Not always, but sometimes.

We're way cooler, and our moderator is actually reasonable.

Guys, Jacob is going to yell at you if he sees you complaining about discord mods again.

Dwarfurious is both a Steam moderator and a Discord moderator yes, but he's pretty much the only moderator who acts here; while the Discord has many active moderators.

He is the best moderator on both platforms though.

The best way to deal with ANY discord bans is to wait it out and eventually the mods will forget why they banned you.

How swiftly you remind them why is your call.

You could also pretend English isn't your native language, that works for most of life's problems.

EDIT: I'll give you some pro strats if you want to get unbanned. You want to pick the mod who bans the most people and wait a week. He'll have no idea why he banned you, he's got 15 others on the list and he's already busy monitoring threads in real time. His F5 key is threatening to rub through to the switch it's that overused. You know the guy.
Hit up THAT guy and then downplay what you did. If you're apologetic enough, you'll get unbanned simply because you're taking time away from monitoring threads with your DMs.

Dwarfurious banned me from the steam community forum because im trans, only enforcing the rules on me and nobody else on some posts.. but some people are allowed to do whatever they want, i watched them, reported them, reports got ignored, those said people continue to break rules and post toxic stuff way above anything ive ever done on this game forum.. bias moderation is great.

so im betting he banned you on discord for the hell of it or its cause he did not like you.
this is bait, do not take the bait.

Is it the ghost of your profile that's speaking to us beyond the ban then?
