The post in question, if interested:

Also, I don’t know how to see which mod/admin banned me, so if you know how to in the modlog, definitely let me know.

Banned for 7 days, so I’m not super mad or anything - I just thought it was funny.

Honestly I don’t blame them - I’d be embarrassed about people finding out my community was on .ml too.

    I mean, if you’re dangling bait, don’t be surprised when the trout start biting.

    Bpr, absolutely.

    I mean, I get it, ml really does take that extra attention because if the community is there, or a user is from there, chances are that you’re going to run into zealotry eventually.

    But when you make the effort to poke at the scab, it’s not really on them when they poke back.

    Truth is, of wouldn’t even need to be .ml, if you did something similar anywhere, a temp ban is legit. Shit stirring can only be tolerated so much, so you have to make it clear that is isn’t going to work out the way the stirrers want, otherwise it snowballs
