MODERATORS
Well, I noticed my post got moderated when I wasn't able to reply to you, so here's my reply :
Yes, but they should warn before shutting down, give you at least a few hours to speak for yourself.
IDK, if I were running the show, I'd probably have done the same thing especially when it started to involve other servers. I would assume that there would be some legal ramifications should it have just been ignored. It would have been good to observe to see if I could come up with who the puppeteer was, but I was super green then and probably wouldn't have known where to start as far as forensics. I mean, if you get hacked, the knee jerk reaction is to pull the plug, but it would be more productive to do some forensics before killing the server.
At the very least, you could cut off Internet access and reduce vCores to 0.5, instead of completely shutting it down and only offering the user to book 4 hours of access during business hours as if they didn't have work too.
When you say moderated, do you mean a comment or did you do another post? if its a comment is that something your instance does? or did it just fail to send. you peaked my curiosity because I wasn't aware of instances filtering comments, only posts.
No I mean the post was removed.
