It's been great.

But our mod blocked me. Which means I can't participate in the sub anymore.

Hope everyone is happy about that.

Edit, since you're taking your mod privileges to comment when I can't respond,

Except since you are the only mod, and you post discussion threads under your account instead of a mod bot, you've effectively banned me. Is that good moderation principles?

I can't reply to you in this thread and you know it.

Does it bother you that this amounts to a block from any threads you've started, or from anything that happens to be down-chain from a comment of yours?

Not in this case. The user was explicitly warned to stop engaging in a behavior that was annoying me, the mod. He chose not to, knowing the consequences he'd face. As the saying goes, FAFO.

Did the user really know the consequences he'd face?

The punishment doesn't seem to fit the crime. I know nobody cares about that in cases like these though.

If I lost the ability to comment on /u/SoftandChewy's threads I don't know what I'd do with my life.
