I received a warning from Alpharius from this post and I don't see the issue. Who do I complain to when being singled out by a bully Mod for my past transgressions?
I see no issues with this post it relates to a companies “design our logo contest” and I stated my opinion.
So what do I do if a Mod is just waiting to say something to me and basically bullying for no good reason?
If this statement was about a GW product Nothing would have been said?
Read the Post and tell me where I was in violation of conduct?

Yeah, no, not going to happen. We'll talk when you have something to actually talk about.

At first I felt like oh maybe give this a chance but I'm getting a real weird DIY garage set-up vibe from this one. It’s connected to a bits store op. No real info with the excuse that it will change the direction of art… No art posted or anything tangible to show me my prize or what I’m working for.
This sort of “I won’t post it because you didn’t ask nicely” not becoming of an up and coming gaming company.
I’m cool… Besides I dug up the concepts and some 3D renders and I’m really not impressed. 35% off of something I wouldn’t buy isn’t worth 1 hour Much less 8.
The Name lacks greatly “katana: war of the oni”
that pretty Meh on the creativity level to me. (“Sword: War of the demon -or ogre-”)
I was giving some thought to helping out with this one and no way…. Shoddy models, very bland Make shift steampunk “I have Pipes on my back and a gear in my chest I’m STEAM PUNK!” Meh.
(Boring… Steam Punk Again _Yawns_)
I feel you Fafnir.

You would be better served by actually PMing a moderator, but just for a cursory glance at the thread in question, Alpharius had already warned the thread twice about getting back on topic, especially if you had no intent on doing the contest. Your post was at least 90 minutes after Alpharius had warned the thread, so your warning was most likely based on being off topic and ignoring the polite warnings of a moderator.

But like I said, you'd actually get a better response by pming the moderator that warned you about why you were warned. If you feel you're being unfairly singled out by that moderator, you can PM another moderator or one of the admins of the site.

I think you're a little sensitive if you think a one-off warning is enough to be that someone is "waiting to say something to you".

PM Alpharius. All the mods are pretty reasonable here, but I'd count him among the most so. You guys can talk it out privately, like adults.

**fishy bob**

Just shoot Alpharius a PM. He is one of the two groovy reasonable mods on this site.

Edit: Sorry, three reasonable mods on this site.

Pretty much it right there.

And yeah, PMing a Moderator, any Moderator, is usually a good 'first step' in these cases.

Thanks!

That's a lie, there are no reasonable MODs on the site. At all.

They're specifically chosen for mean spiritedness, height, # of socks owned and blood alcohol level.

And their willingness to sell their souls to the dark ones of course, but that should go without saying.

Moving back to the topic at hand, Mr. Yakface would be the person to contact with any such concerns one has to do with ones treatment.

I will advise however he is a ~~fictional entity we use as a smokescreen~~ busy chap indeed so please don't be expecting him to be able to instantly respond to any missive he receives.

As the initial query has, hopefully, been answered I'll lock this now so we don't spam this board.

All hail to the horned one, may his dark shadow and venomous seed burn out our eyes so we weep tears of blood at his coming !
