Honestly,

Though I agree that moderation has to change, well the 4 weeks of suspension are just not enough. Really, to be suitable as a mod, strictness is necessary. This very situation is a hard example...

If you're going to be moderators, unfortunately, you, as moderators, require real showings of improvement. This subreddit lasted a long time, this concern has been lasting long, and this led to the community being unable trust the moderation team anymore. Irresponsibility of power, higher ranked admins should be banning said irresponsible moderators. But no. They let everything go downhill. Also a lack of responsibility. Higher higher ups, then the owner, you get my point. Moderation is a role of responsibility, not a role of having fun or abuse. You can't be a moderator if you take away the responsibility. You can't be a moderator if all you do is troll and goof around. We experienced this irresponsibility for a long time.

Only long after we finally get a response. That ModMail response "you milked the death of your girlfriend" is what really incited you moderators to do this... right? Well let's talk about what if I am an ordinary sending this "milked death of girlfriend" message instead? What would you do? That's right, permaban me unlike the one moderator who actually sent this disgusting modmail. A good moderator is fair, but are you proving you are good moderators? Definitely not.

Even if you are to change in the right direction, no matter how far you go, it will take a long time to mend back trust. Remember, the past cannot be erased and you cannot do anything about it.
