No the moderator holds a personal grudge against Quark. He said in chat that he thinks it's a scam, probably because he didn't invest in it earlier... too bad for him. These moderators are completely subjective and hold too much power - but that's another issue.
who was the Mod ?
Penek I think. Some mods give 1h bans, this guy dishes out 60 day bans to anyone mentioning or asking about Quarks.
