If you want an example of how a moderator called squiggly behaved, let me give you one:
Someone incorrectly accuses another member of a "engaging without rp" rule violation in the public and official discovery discord.
When asked by the accused what instance they meant, that someone posts logs of an ingame conversation. The logs are incomplete and start after the accused posted several lines of RP, obviously edited to make the accused look guilty.
The accused posts the full logs that show the rp.
Squiggly says the accused is "heading for a ban" for not shutting up, first equating someone unjustly publicly accusing someone with edited logs, to defending oneself against unjust accusation by posting the complete logs, then threatening the accused with a ban, but not the accuser.

I remember you doing exactly what you are describing here, and getting fired as discovery discord mod for it. I also remember you turning your own private discord into slander-central where people are able to post slander and hate at certain people and those people get censored and banned as soon as they start defending themselves.
For more feedback on discord moderators, I would also like to point out that mep is someone who trolls and harasses people (including me) constantly and censors and bans them for defending themselves.
And also slappy, who publicly posted trial by discord logs of a time I fell asleep with 60 mil worth of iridium ore next to sabah shipyard claiming I was farming time for my faction tag that way (and he did it together with his friend who had been harassing me nonstop for months, apart from posting racist crap literally every day).
Slappy also censored me another time, when I was defending my faction against deceptive logs posted on discord that suggested it just docks and doesnt rp, which left out the lengthy RP that took place during time when I could well have just docked instead, and that it was me RPing with them that led to me getting blown up. The unjust and deceptive accuser, who he assisted with his disco moderator powers, had been talking to slappy in voice chat regularly before.
Afterwards, slappy (who had censored and banned me for defending myself) and kauket (who had done the same on the official discord before getting fired, and also on their own private discord) went to the =CR= discord with several of their friends, used the =CR= voice chat although none of them were in =CR=, and spammed several text channels for several hours. The group that did this had been trolling and harassing me and =CR= ingame for several days. Them doing this together with a GM/discord mod that banned me was obviously a powerplay intended to show "look what we can do".
All this being said, I dont think there is a single person complaining about this one time mep did something to one of their friends (instead of to one of their "enemies" to which they said nothing or cheered him on in glee) that hasnt behaved in the exactly same way, or worse, as mep there. Saronsen, paul, and kauket have openly harassed people and lobbied for them getting censored and "removed" from the community, while staff did nothing to stop them.
All of you should stop pretending its a matter of "this person is worse than that person so that person should get moderator power and not this one".
It's a matter of all of you just scrambling for power and dominance and not being willing to moderate yourselves or be moderated in anyway.
What we really need is transparency instead of constant and various forms of censorship, and a public code of conduct that is explicit enough so that even a chimp wouldnt be able to burn the house down as long as he is actually held accountable when he doesnt stick to it.
