Let me chime in as I have read the discussion. Indeed, both users were in the wrong of arguing back and forth. However, for Azure's case, she continued to harass DeathByStaccato by calling him names whenever mentioning him. Do keep in mind that this is the comment section. You can voice your own opinions, which was exactly what both were doing. Immediately, after DeathByStaccato shared his opinion, Azure immediately calls him "The child below the point of that tangent was," which is taken as rude, especially with the fact that he did not take the offense well. Even if it wasn't, it still is considered a personal attack.

And no, this has nothing to do with the moderators' personal dislike for Azure. She has made multiple offenses in the past and she has yet to learn her lesson after each ban, by slandering and harassing users in a way that people view it as unsatisfactory. After a ban, you have to know pretty darn well about the rules and to never make the same mistakes again. About the other user, he was simply defending himself. You can backread the string of comments in that blog regarding this. He has every right to voice his own opinion, just like any other user in the wiki. However, it is NOT right to treat an opinion as ridiculous out in public. "99% of what you say really pathetic and worthless" is NOT a way of conveying a message towards an opinion, and even worse, continuing to call him names like no tomorrow.

Every moderator has their way in judging the situation and we discuss it together whenever a block or ban is made. I trust that the moderators are doing their job. Generally, ban lengths are determined depending on the severity AND/OR how many infractions the user has made. With a follow-up of a two-week ban and harassing another user, her one-month ban was justified. These were the rules from the very start, even before my moderator promotion, and they haven't changed since.
