Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless Mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

It's probably going up and down a lot because of credit utilization.
If you don't have a lot of credit ($10,000 isn't very high) and you're using up to 10% ($1000/$10000) every month then you'll appear to be highly leveraged on credit.
If you had $50000 in total credit and used up to $1000 of it every month then that's only 2% credit utilization.
Also, you have been exceptionally patient with someone interrogating you over something entirely unrelated to your original post.
Hi! I have some helpful feedback for you. Just to help you understand how credit cards work.

10% is what this person refers to as the "sweet spot." They recommend keeping it under 30% or you may get actual significant penalties. Lower than 10% may be useful if you want to get every last point of credit score, but there's no universe where 10% would be "highly leveraged."
I definitely value your input as to my interrogations, and total unreasonableness. Please understand, my goal is purely to share knowledge about credit cards specifically, and definitely not to accuse this poster at this point of anything in particular.
You're not being helpful, but you are being patronizing and pedantic about my phrasing, just like you were with OP.
As a great man once said, " You're a constipator, Peanut. You disturb my shit, and that's annoying."
Though I do suppose I owe you a thank you as I was surprised to see a reply from you. I thought I had blocked you yesterday. So, thank you for reminding me to rectify my lapse and block you now.
Being implies a temporary condition.
