I’m going to support TUBSWEETIE in this. My idea of abuse is where the moderator bans someone based on a personal slight, rather than objectively for slighting other people. It’s a staff member’s role to set an example for a community, and often people believe they can balance both being a member of a community and being an example of it – often, this isn’t the case.

Abuse of mod powers would usually serve as precedent for more abuse, but I feel given the nature of the forum (RP) and the warning beforehand, it wasn’t abuse of mod power so much as it was a deliberate prank.
