For full context: The mod abuse was a incident between sirsquid (Liam/GamingOnLinux) and ‘go $fsck yourself’ (the person that comments this on every linking to GamingOnLinux.com). The alleged mod abuse is Liam deleting a post by ‘go $fsck yourself’ criticizing the title on one of his articles. Liam later stepped down as moderator.
Was Liam being a childish? Yeah. Is there a reason why ‘go $fsck yourself’ is being vague about what the mod abuse actually was and to what extent? Probably.
Incident was at 2024 May 22

It was a single small incident out of (assuming) months of moderation and he later stepped down.
I am asking you to have some empathy, your comments make the situation look like he was being a master manipulator when all he had was an ego problem and a conflict of interest.
We’re humans, we do stupid things. Just because he is a bad moderator (because many people who get moderator status often end up abusing it) and did a single bad incident shouldn’t invalidate his blog nor it should mean he is an awful person.
