NC. Not all mods are saints: some abuse their power, some trust people they shouldn't, and some make dumb decisions hastily or when they don't have all the facts. OP is a real person and whether their story is true in part or in full is unclear, but there are plenty of shitty people involved in fandom and some of those shitty people happen to be mods, or are trusted by mods.

Mods are human and are neither perfect nor infallible. Mods outside of YT have definitely made mistakes: writers have been dragged, blacklisted and even outright banned when they shouldn't have been and considering YT has been running since 2003, I'd be surprised if it hasn't happened in YT at least once.
