The mods became weird around the rebro era. Up until then no one ever got banned for anything, if you were being an asshole you were just ganged up on and bullied until you left. Like, seriously, even fucking Nazis came and they weren't banned, people just harassed them until they left on their own. I had never been banned for anything but during the Rebro era I got banned like 3 times, maybe more, for complete nonsense. If the mods before the rebro era were bad, idk, possibly, but I didn't even know who they were and I didn't need to because they weren't really doing anything, which worked because the community was growing in a mostly good way.
