Dear zephyr,
You have received an infraction at Bluelight.
Reason: expiring infraction
-------
Dear Zephyr,
You have been issued an expiring infraction.
This infraction is for chronic disruption of CE&P discussions, and repeatedly making inappropriate remarks about CE&P staff and moderation after specific requests to pm the staff or go to STH to address such concerns.
Additionally, as you are Bluelight Crew, you are v familiar with the appropriate channels.
From your time on staff, you know how time-consuming dealing with chronic situations can become. It had been difficult for some BL staff to understand why you were taking out your frustrations in a way that you understood would consume a great deal of volunteer time, particularly with individuals who were not involved in the issues for which you have understandable concerns.
Many of the BL staff have been hesitant to issue this infraction. Concerns about the issues have been discussed at length by staff at all levels, respectfully and professionally.
The discussion was more extensive than you might imagine because a number of BL staff advocated for giving you leeway, as well of the benefit of the doubt, including myself.
In recognition of the commendable contribution you have made and continue to make to BL, as well as your sense of caring for the BL community, the discussion for quite some time was how to best reach out to you. Those avenues were unfortunately exhausted. This infraction was the last resort.
Regrettably, you have inappropriately and unfairly attacked several BL staff members. swilow has been the latest of several targets.
Although you posted v harsh comments about swilow in P&S and TL, rather than CE&P, they are relevant to your abuse of a current BL staff member.
Your posts and threads and RPs have an impact. They affect staff members and the site negatively, and it's unfair, unproductive and disruptive. It needs to stop.
BL is primarily a harm reduction community that is inclusive and non-judgmental as a whole, and welcomes those that society marginalizes due to stigmatization of drug users. In that way, it makes sense that it is left-leaning. BL doesn't allow views that are considered by the majority of staff to be hateful, and we are trying to protect our community from hate. We can't make everyone happy, and have had to make a choice on what to allow and what not to allow.
But acknowledging that is quite different than charging corruption of the moderation processes without any substantiation. No moderator is able to simply ban BLers they don't like. You know this is true. Infractions are reviewed and sometimes overturned.
While fully acknowledging your time on staff, it behooves me to remind you that if you wish to voice concerns and opinions about CE&P moderating decisions, either pming relevant staff or posting in STH might be appropriate.
If you have a problem with certain individuals, you can pm them directly or a senior CE&P staff member. Publicly airing personal disagreements isn't helpful.
We regret the hate you have been subjected to offsite. Staff members regret that it couldn't be shut down at the source or otherwise stopped.
BL staff requested that a number of remarks be included in this infraction and I tried to include all of them because although it's a bit unconventional, your contributions merit it.
Best, CD

Yeah lets get back to insulting Trump and also hazing Trump supporters, so far anyone who supports Trump must be idiots, racists, nazis, whatever the like.
Very high standards indeed.
I dont know any Trump supporters personally. This all must be true and above board. Right?
All the best,
