It’s not about being “butt hurt” it’s about consequences for abusive behaviors. I don’t think people who abuse their moderation powers and status should be rewarded with free advertisement on the place they committed their abuse.
I think that this community needs to change its displayed rules, since it seems that it does not apply to the moderators:
Please be nice to other members. Anyone not being nice will be banned. Keep it fun, respectful and just be awesome to each other.
