Vik, I didn't look too closely at your second post (and, in fact, really have only referenced the OP regarding this thread), but I feel I need to correct you on something regarding the post of mine you linked to - I actually meant a more general audience beyond Bloodbird even though he was the primary intended target for that post - there were a LOT of people who were needing unnecessary hand-holding to figure out exactly what they did wrong, and at some point it does become unreasonable to expect us to continue to hold your hand and explain to you what you did wrong, over and over and over again, like you're a child.
As for the issue of wording, well, look at the description that Katrina provided. Isis posted "scrublord," not "scrub." The term "scrublord" could be used to refer to a very, very large number of EVE players by the provided definition. While the irony of one "scrublord" calling out another group of players as being just that is highly amusing (Goons have a pretty high concentration of them by that definition and they are hardly ashamed of it), it's still insulting and the term itself involves the "urdoinitrong" attitude. So we said "this is bad, you can repost if you fix it". We didn't need to say what was wrong with it, but Jek erred on the side of caution and did anyway.
(Technically, her changed post still has hints of urdoinitrong, given that everyone pays their $15/month and is therefore entitled to play the game how they wish within the limits of game mechanics and the EULA/TOS, but I'm not going to waste time on it.)
We don't necessarily have a bias against goons here (the mods don't collectively, and whether we like goons or not, we're not going to use it as a metric for moderation), but there's definitely what I would consider a bias against people who are proven troublemakers. You were gone from the game for a while so it's not too surprising that you missed some of the history and drama that got things to this point, but, to be my usual blunt self, a lot of people here don't like Isis or want to interact with her, and they have very good reasons not to (which I will not go into here); her membership in GSF is merely icing on the cake in comparison for these people. If anything is causing 'bias' against her here, it's her own actions both here on the forum and ingame.
Do note she's still posting, however. We're still going to do things by the book, which means that as long as she doesn't break the rules and cause us a headache, she gets to stay. Whether anyone else likes it or not. And before anyone suggests this is just for her, it's the same for anyone else. The only way anyone is going to be forcibly and permanently removed from these forums is repeated violations of the rules despite warnings and short-term bans.
Also, give Jek a break. We're aware he used to be (is) a mod on Chatsubo, and the various levels of festering drama-sores that involved. If we didn't think he was up to the task we wouldn't have offered him the job. And on the record, I can't remember a single moderation decision made on backstage that he disagreed with and made noise about - in fact all I can remember are many cases of him approving of moderator actions taken on Backstage. So I think he'll do just fine. Give him some time to get used to things, please.
