Suspended for Otter Nonsense

[Enla]

I got a ban as well. I'm not quite sure why as I did my best to be civil, but I'll accept that it happened and do my best not to repeat it going forward. Desire to fight toxicity with cute images or not, I made my bed by memeing even while knowing the mods were being testy over it. So I won't rally against what happened.

/However/ I do question why mods were resorting to mass banning people instead of just shutting down the thread. Especially since for the most part people had long since moved past even engaging with the OP after a certain point and were just messing around with otters. Admitted fault or not I feel there's a grossly disproportionate reaction happening here and one that really didn't need to escalate to that degree. Especially since a simple moderator post of 'keep on topic' or again closing the thread would have had a much more positive outcome. I kinda feel like the mods here tend to be slow to act, but when they do they tend to bring out the 10-ton hammer instead of the fly swatter.
