    Most of the time when you see complaints that a forum user was banned or got their locked or their post was deleted, it is because of something that didn't comply with the forum rules. This thread is about those extremely rare cases where a forum user did nothing (not exaggeration but truth) for any of these 3 actions to be warranted. In this case, unwarranted means the admin/mod knew the user, for that particular instance (like a particular post or thread), did nothing that broke the rules but that admin/mod still did said action. To say that such actions never happen for no good reason is foolish.

    As far as how such situation gets resolved, we have these outcomes. The affected parties got a proper apology on the forum/PM and the situation was fixed (un-banned, unlocked, or post restored). Second the admin/mod will either PM the user saying something like or gives the forum behavior of "we know you did nothing to warrant this. However, we are still going to keeping it the way it is" angle. In the case of banning, I am excluding the angle of re-joining under a different username because that can happen even when people are justly banned.

    I clearly have put all the variables and factors in. Now, what are the results? What is a case that you are aware of (hypothetical scenarios are allowed) where they truly were innocent?

    Why, yes, this bird would love to complain about a mod. How could that end badly?

    Remember guys: if you can't come up with anything, I'll have to ban one of you to ensure this thread has content.

    I once murdered one of the members on this site for telling me my taste was bad.

    Nice thread. Too bad all possible witness have been scared silly by 3 mods appearing on the first page.

    Edit: make that four

    I haven't come across something like that. Usually, the ones I did see were cases where the user really didn't listen and tried to call the mod's bluff.

    Does the time when I accidentally banned myself from my own forum counts?

    I think there was a phase where I was renaming a few user's titles with stuff like "Remy's Slave" or something.

    Well, that would be like the one acceptable "unjust" ban.
