I'm not sure I quite understand 100% what has happened here

In short, what happened:
1) The local moderator of the Russian section Xal0lex has banned the user Snork1979 (me) for allegedly "trolling" more than once.
2) In fact, Xal0lex banned the user Snork1979 for my political views.

Users of the Russian section (with Legendary and Hero ranks, not new alts) understand perfectly well that I was banned for my political views:

Зря, кстати, Снорка забанили. Отличный индикатор был... Форум интересен разными мнениями. Когда все со всеми соглашаются - это неинтересно.

Не умеют они тут по другому, только бан. А потом сами же ноют, что не осталось никого, сетуюя на судьбу злодейку. Я если честно не представляю, за что могли снорка забанить. Если реально за политику, то это дно конечно.

За политику. При этом с укроботофермой в политике все хорошо, даже замечательно я бы сказал.

(I wonder if Xal0lex will delete these posts, as well as all the others, telling the truth about him? Roll Eyes

3) 90+% of posts in the Russian section "Politics" are, strictly formally, trolling or off-topic.
4) Xal0lex doesn't ban any of the users who support Ukraine for trolling or off-topic. He only bans users who don't want to support Ukraine.
5) I think that banning for political beliefs is illegal and wrong on our forum.
6) Most crypto users agree with me. At least in words. (even suchmoon)

That's "all" for now.
Welcome to this interesting discussion! )

We also have the case of proudhon who is a known troll and has not been banned that I know of.

I myself started a troll thread in response to another thread that clearly breaks the rule 2 (and I would say borders on trolling as well) and no action was taken against me or the other thread.

You have raised a very important question, I think.
And what is considered "trolling"? And who defines it? And should we ban people on our forum for this?

For example, is the arrogantly condescending remark "But I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume it's a translation issue." from our suchmoon "trolling"?
And should he be banned for this? (If suchmoon had written this in the Russian section against Xal0lex, Xal0lex would have definitely banned him for a month or two )))
