This deals with a previous account of mine called Shiroi Kokoro no Mendori.
Okay, so here's the backstory. At the beginning of October 2007 I got into a fight with another moderator (Ezra Savage, now just Ezra) in the Gaian Gay and Bisexual Boys Guild, which at that time I helped moderate. This turned into a six page debate among the five or six moderators at that time over whether or not I should be allowed to remain a moderator. Finally, the guild leader (spndx3141) was consulted. He said that I had broken no rules and was not going to be removed. Ezra Savage then told me that he hated me and would do anything to bring me down. He even went so far as to make death threats toward me. Finally, he went to a Site Developer.
That Site Developer was ariesboy571, now CirqueDelFeu, a friend of Ezra Savage's. Ariesboy571 told my guild leader that I had broken TOS for the guilds and would have to be removed from moderatorship. Here's where it got hairy:
First, Gaia rules state:
"Artists, Developers and other staff There are many other people who work hard to make Gaia awesome by creating new features and new art, items and much more for you every day! These people have brown names and may post around the site but [b]will not be able to help with Terms of Service violations[/b] please contact Gaia Moderators and Administrators for assistance."
Ariesboy571, according to the rules of Gaia, violated his privileges.
Secondly, the only complaint ever brought against me in the guild was "Banning people without cause". The Captain's Guild, which holds official guild policies, tells me that all guild crew is authorized to ban any member from their guild at any time for any reason. So I didn't actually break any TOS here.

Here is the message I received in my ban, in which my guild leader tells me he did not wish for me to be banned.

Here is the complaint sent to my guild leader, spndx3141.

I sent a message to ariesboy571 and he replied extremely rudely.

I asked the global moderator fubenkunai for advice (She is the most helpful mod I've ever talked to on Gaia ever. EVER. Give her a raise.) and she replied thusly:

I was banned on that account an hour later. If I hadn't been banned so quickly, I would have more screenshots to document for you, but if you want to look, you are able to go through my inbox, as ariesboy571 so kindly reminded me. I created a new account, lykongitsachicken. That account was banned within a few hours. My next account was Everybodys Happy Now, which lasted a few days. stopthebanningplease lasted a couple weeks. kaleinh was banned after a few weeks for making a satire post. On none of the other accounts did I make anything that could be a breach of TOS.
Whenever I PM a mod about this, I'm banned because I'm a repeat offender, even if my first bans were in error.
EDIT: To Gaian admins; please feel free to respond in detail here. I've got no qualms at all with private issues being made public. However, my current account on Gaia is I Just wont Die.
I have been trying since October to get ANYTHING that shows someone cares about this flagrant misuse of justice. Please reply. I'm sorry if I come off as ranty.
