Ummm that's a bit broad handed. There are quite a few mods on FA and I doubt you've had run ins with all of them, and it's hardly fair to denounce a whole group because you don't like a few.
As for your fic . . . Surely you can see how allowing people to use the names of real people in fanfiction without permission can lead to problems (though god alone knows how a ban on this would be enforcable).
Real names can be a hazard if someone feels you are having something awful occure to that person in the fic, and one person's satire or noble use is another's defamation of character.
personally, I was rather surprised to see FA let it slide in the first place *shrug*
I don't think it was a witch hunt against you . . . I think the only fair thing to do was to take both fics down because both fics had complaints against them for the same reason, forcing FA to re-evaluate a stance that had never been an issue before.
Granted I don't your background with anyone here or you, for that matter (outside of the fact that I disagreed strongly with your intepretation of the friendship between Remus, James, Peter, and Sirius, but that's beside the point)
Anyway, I'm saying this because my experiences with the mods have always been ones of fairness and willingness to listen to my side and opinion, so long as I was polite about it.
I think your comment above is unfair as you seem to have only issues with certain people, and the mods as a whole are taking on a very difficult and thankless job in trying to moderate a place as huge as FA.
Well, my experience with the mods has consistently been crappy. And as for the rest, you do not know the facts, but I am tired of repeating myself. The complaint was about racism in Moon's fic, and it was only in a desperate attempt to distract attention from their brutal and indefensbel stereotyping that Moon and friends even brought up the matter of real names. The issue was racism, and the mods carefully avoided dealing with it; which is typical of the hypocrisy, partisanship and downright lying that I have consistently encountered from them.
Ah well, the main thing I saw being addressed with the names, which to me is a bigger deal and where the personal offense can come from.
You even apply as much when you say to Ashfea that she called you mafioso, which yeah, if someone called me some of the things you can call my heritage, I'd be not to happy either.
I thought there was stereotyping yes, but not anything that was racism, but I know that can also be a personal judgement call, just as sexism can.
As for not knowing what was going on, I meant between you and the mods. I followed the issue with the fics because I was curious to see where it would go since I used the name of a public figure in a fic of mine.
