Sometimes I will very pettily ping someone I had a previous disagreement with, if something reminds me of them, or what we argued about. Is that weird?
I don’t think that that’s weird (for arguments it is a bit petty, but I also understand the urge to be petty - ‘It’ll never happen’, huh? READ IT AND WEEP), but calling an admin from another instance and requesting to ban someone who doesn’t go to your instance at all is.
It’s like being the weird guy who calls the cops to report everything their neighbor does.
And in this case, the cops made an arrest because the pile of leaves in the yard were in the shape of a pentagram (displaying intent to Unlawfully Summon, no doubt).
The admin summon was one of the more bizarre parts.
Yeah I agree with you on that count too.

Question, if someone pinged an admin to ban someone for being something dbzer0 doesn’t want/like, would that be a step too far?
You want me to ban Kerfuffled?

I just got banned from blahaj for mistrademarking you, hope you’re happy.
I’m happy I called dibs and that’s definitely how trademarks work.
No, just asking as they are my admin.
It would be bizarre on the part of the pinger, at the very least.
Fair
Why does this feel like a gotcha?
It’s not. If someone pinged you or the admins for violating the instance rules, would that be accepted?
Well it’s one way to do it, but a report is usually preferable imo.
