If you are going to go ahead and mute TP, you should probably mute rootwyrm as well because he posted more than enough insults directed at tp. Tp initially was standing up for beserkfan, trying to stop the witchunt which happens all too often on here.
Yes, beserkfan probably didn't realise the sheer scale of issues he was going to face, and I'm not standing up for him at all, but tp is not the only person in this who is in the wrong. He initially started by calling out rootwyrm's mistakes, but did eventually start calling him names which really isn't very nice.
But if you look through rootwyrm's posts, calling someone mentally ill is not very nice either, and if you want to say "LOL IT'S THE INTERNET WE AREN'T NICE PEOPLE" then you should probably go back to 4chan and not try to be in a community.
tp was not the only one in the wrong, and while his posting has always been questionable, it seems like a very drastic measure to up him to 70% warning.
My final thought is on moderator warnings. When I got mine, it was an automated message that didn't really tell me what I had done, or anything. I've not been muted, but I would hope that tp got an actual message from someone in the mod team and was able to have a conversation and apologise for his posts before being muted.
I do appreciate what the mods do as it really is a thankless task. But, yeah. ^^^^^^^
