First, if CMs really were breaking the rules, and being disrespectful to you, you should have given the chat logs to an admin. If a chatmod was giving you death threats, and I had a chatlog of the entire discussion, I would remove their rights immediately.

My response :

1.0 This is a major principle on many major wikis, including Wikipedia. If it doesn't seem like a right thing to do, don't do it.

1.1 We made a very clear definition of bad language on the new wiki :

"Any vulgarities, profanities, obscenities, racial or ethnic slurs, or euphemisms of the same that are found to be offensive."

1.2 You can joke around as long as you don't humiliate another user or hurt their feelings. If another user tells you to stop joking about them, you should stop. It's that simple.

1.3 I consider it almost as bad as swearing, if you use it in an offensive way.

1.4 We got rid of that rule on the wiki.

1.5 One of the admin's and CM's main responsibilities on this wiki is to maintain child safety throughout the wiki. Letting users give out all their personal information is not safe. Like all offences, some users get away with it, and it's a real shame.

1.7 I don't know enough details about that incident to make a judgement. But you clearly offended that user very much, and that's a big reason why we disallow public discussions about politics and religion.

1.9 If you strongly believe that a CM banned you unfairly, then you should give a chat log to an admin; especially if you cooperated, but got banned over a disagreement.
