Criticism

Manstein's methods of moderating have been labeled by some to be "draconian", particularly after he suspended both Professor420 (later commuted by Soren) and Ferrets54 in the same two-week period. Accusations of unfairness or of unequal application of the Rules have not been a part of those allegations, however.
