I think individual moderator Cannot make decisions about who to ban. Such decisions should be taken by a group of people. Because everyone thinks in their own way each has its own logic and perception. Sometimes the moderator simply does not fully understand what the participant of the forum wanted to say, this is why it’s supposed to be group decision to ban somebody.
Example.
Yesterday I replied to this post

Howdy! I don’t mean to be self-promotional, but I made an app that puts “Facebook” icon on your homescreen that looks like original app, but opens quality content (like pocket or kindle).
I made it so that I can drop that habit of having a “quick fix” to browse FB.
It’s on Product Hunt today.//
So I replied to this post with picture of VEGAN burgers.
So couple hours later I received email
Geo.
You have been silenced from the forum until March 26, 2018, 12:00pm.
Spam
Please don’t spam, even with vegan spam.
silenced_by_staff: ‘’ Spam.
So basically because moderator looks differently on irony he silenced me.
But it was just irony and not a spam!
The guy created the app that looks like Facebook but not the real Facebook.
This is why I compare it to vegan Burger, it looks Like burgers bot not real Burger.
Question number 2.
Why moderator wrote this "Please don’t spam, EVEN WITH VEGAN spam.
Why he put the word “even”. Why do vegans are better than rest of us who eat meat. So if it was the regular meat burger spam, he going to silence me forever. But because it was a vegan spam, he(or she) going to give me a second chance?
This is one of the reason why we have Trump now, because minorities receiving more rights than majority’s.
