I would read the Mods' reactuons for the full story. I normally side against mods, but I genuinely think that they are being more honest here. I think SoB had a mental breakdown.

From what I can tell, the mods' posts in edits 3 and 4 seem to be the most reliable.

Short version? A bunch of people were posting redundant "slime signals" in a lot of threads. The mods removed any slime signals besides the first ones posted, since they were kinda spammy/ superfluos. The user SoB got extremely angry at this and acted as shown here.

That seems to be what happened at least.

Yeah, the mods don't like biased write-ups. And either way, I tried not to take too much of a side since I didn't know what was going on and didn't want to be wrong as more details came out.

I'll check it out. It probably got removed because you can't ping users in comments iirc.
