SPPF Confession #357:
I have a fear of moderators.
One time, in my internet newb days, I broke a minor rule.
Instead of telling me what I did wrong, the mod outright banned me.
Of course, this mod was on a forum in which trolls and spammers were common, so he probably was a bit overeactive.
Later, I attempted to make amends by PMing the mod and apologizing.
He wouldn't have any of it, and told me off.
And then the bro ponies came.
They were pretty cool, keeping their cartoon pony discussion in a thread dedicated to it.
But then one of them decided to spam ponies.
This set the mod into a rage, and banned the person.
And then he banned all the others, and locked the pony thread.
From then on it was an unwritten rule to not show or tell of the mere word pony, lest ye get banned.
Me being a bro pony at the time, I got tempbanned multiple times attempting to resolve the issue.
