FYI - the owner of this site, gamingonlinux, was a mod on the !linux_gaming@lemmy.ml community until they were caught abusing their moderator powers. Then they deleted their account and complained on mastodon that it's stupid design that mod logs are public.

Instead, here is a direct link to the Arch linux announcement:

For all the times I've seen this written I've not ever seen any mention of what the abuses were. Have any details?

Scroll down to three months ago.

It appears our erstwhile whistle blower had his ego more than a little involved in this dispute, and still bears some bad feelings.

Regardless of who the abuse was against, any mod abuse should not be acceptable. People should see consequences for their actions and not benefit from the community they were abusing, particularly when it's financial benefits.
