Those on the staff team are not exempt from the rules they uphold, and should be held accountable for abusing their power, and when a member of staff, blatantly disregards the rules they are meant to uphold, yet punishes others for the exact same thing, is not only morally vile and bankrupt entirely, it is without a doubt the very thing that the staff constantly complains about other people doing in conversations. This is toxic, it is abuse of position and needs to be rectified. If it's gotten so bad that Saronsen of all people had to call it out, it's gone too far.
You could say Mep was responding as a player, but considering there are only two places he is involved with moderation, DWG and the Disco General Discord, this is unprofessional behavior, and was outright harassment of another player(s), Lambda (Paul S.) and Nyx, I don't much like Lambda, never have, probably never will, but that was uncalled for, especially coming from a man that constantly complains about toxicity to the point he claimed he was being bullied like a child when Lambda quite literally sat there and took the harassment just so he could get an answer to his question is utter bullsh*t that should've never happened to begin with.
If you want a good example of how a moderator should behave, look at squiggly. If you are in the place your job is to moderate, you are on the clock every time you are in there, your opinion holds no sway over your job, keep personal grudges and feelings out of your work and conduct yourself in accordance with the job you are meant to be doing, or get the hell out.
