Can we get some clarity on what is harassment?

I am making this post to inquire on what qualifies as harassment. I recently has a post removed, although no punishment given. I don't know how much I can go into it without getting this thread removed, but I'll try to paste the first one and see how it goes

Really? Deleting and copy pasting this for at least the third time in a row? Uh oh, looks like it's you that can't handle negative criticism lol. Hypocrite much? Maybe you should come up with better criticism then "most of what comes out of your mouth reeks of blue pill and cum"

Now I can see how parts of this could be considered negative and can reasonably justify why it was removed.

The issue I'm having with this is that my post was removed within an hour of being posted about 3 hours ago. Here are some posts I reported about 15 hours ago that are still up at the time of writing this where one person is directly harassing another:

  1. most of what comes out of your mouth reeks of blue pill and cum
  1. Still trying to muster up the energy to care. By the way, your repeated attempts to suck Riot off aren't going to be rewarded, you know that right?
  1. the only idiot I see here is you
  1. You sure do write a lot, despite me literally saying I don't read any of it. How amusing.

Now again, I can see why my post was removed, but cannot understand how if my post is considered removable that these posts are deemed ok. Even if the person admitted to doing it in their response, but thats a different subject. I understand there is some sort of queue when things get reported, but these comments were reported a full 12 hours before I even made the comment that was removed, which was removed within the hour. How did my posts jump 12+ hours ahead in the queue over the other ones? I re-reported these comments 2 hours ago idk what else to do.

Was my post removed because I directly quoted the person saying "most of what comes out of your mouth reeks of blue pill and cum"? Alright, but the post where the person actually tells someone "most of what comes out of your mouth reeks of blue pill and cum" is still up?

I'm just having difficulties wrapping my head around this. What gives?

Nami Hey Eedat.

This is 100% my fault.

I did remove your comments and mostly because it was taking a disagreement from another thread and bringing it onto this new one with some amount of negative and insulting commentary towards the OP.

I do not have record of their previously deleted posts that you claim are the same and I cannot currently see them, so if you have links (ie if you saved them) you can send them to us on the Moderation Discord and we will take a look.

Regarding the post you have quoted here and quoted in that thread; when I was moderating your posts, I took it to the side in order to look it up afterwards, as I can only do one thing at a time, even with two monitors bc I suck. After I finished with the thread you posted in I moved over to look into the other users account in order to moderate their commentary that was inappropriate as well.

Without going into too much detail, sometimes the BETA Boards tools we have to moderate with error out and cause us to be locked out and we need to reload them after a little bit in order to bring up information we are looking for and be able to delete, etc etc. This happened after I was completed with the thread you posted on and so I stepped away from the computer to deal with a mess my daughter made. It ended up being a whole problem, because she is 2 and hates when I clean up juice she spilled on the floor and is currently dancing in.....but that doesn't matter. When I returned to the computer, I had completely forgotten about the comments I was looking for from this other poster, including the one you referenced, and continued doing other stuff.

I can see now that the offending content has been removed as it is completely unacceptable, but please do accept my sincerest apologies. It really was a fuck up on my part and I am sorry :(

Edit: Realized I didn't answer a question:

Regarding why yours were removed first even though you reported theirs a million years ago:

I came upon your comments organically while looking at another earlier comment in the thread, usually if I am editing or moderating something in a thread I will take a peek through the rest of it in order to clean it up if I feel there might be some ruffled feathers.
