"then why were you not acting like it? "
I messaged every account that I knew had some sort of connection to the actual devs. I learned they were notified and working on the issue. What else am I to do? I'm not a dev on the project, I'm not a witness. Just because I understand that it was a high priority doesn't enable me to fix it on my own.
"Do you think it's funny to make false and defamatory/libelous statements"
You obviously don't have a very strong grasp of the terms you are throwing around. I invite you to look into the well established case law regarding satire and comedy.
"And the chat has moderators for a reason."
@pfunk is a bad moderator, end of discussion. He was only protecting his ego because I had valid point contrary to his and that didn't look good for him. Luckily some other moderators know me and understand humor so they lifted the mute.
"there's a reputation system here for a reason"
I have a fairly good reputation under that system because I contribute and my sense of humor is enjoyed.
"Understand?"
No, as addressed above this was a bad ban. @pfunk was completely in the wrong end of story. I love how you chose to never once address that I was also informing users for hours about the outage. So I make a joke and then 15 seconds later follow it up with the real information. The claim that I was causing panic is complete bullshit. The only thing I was causing was LOLs.
Go read the logs I, I've reread them there was no widespread panic.
