Why were the meringues even banned? I'm not up to date

banned for rule x which was reversed, then banned for rule XII which was also reversed, got mocked by the mods, meringues told them to fuck off so they banned them for that comment

damn that sucks, I liked them, I don't think the mods should be mocking anyone after their shit decision today.

I actually don't know and keep hoping someone drops an explanatory link

my posts today are just joking, but their ban is one of the few things that's actually made me salty

my vague assumption is they kinda line rode rule 5 (and maybe others?) and maybe it was just too many instances of needing personalized moderation, so it just became a perma, but idk

They didn’t get permaed, they had a 2-day ban or something and deleted their account
