Year ban is not permaban. I'm sure that a user like u/NeoOne could fit into this community without making it all about meta material. Also, his post is still live so there was no loss of material and I don't know what could be intended by merging it.
u/Foletadoo, Neo1 (a separate account that has asked me not to ping it) first raised the question of restarting roundtables by a mod, which led to about 10 days of discussing 6 names as potential mods, after which admin told u/Thisisnotanexit that she could become mod in time, which happened after another 2 months of community vetting of that idea. Since nobody demonstrated a strong consensus result in favor of any outcome, admin stepping in could be considered a coup, but if the community could demonstrate some consensus result I'm sure admin would accept that.
Neo1 got the year ban for rule 3, which was about unnecessary meta posts (now called subversion), and it appears his several attacks were also rule 1 violations. I don't know why he hasn't contributed to the several new roundtable threads that he wanted restored.
Respected. I only see the one meta from Neo1 and the one from NeoOne. Also, I should note publicly, since you approved the one from Neo1 as an exception to meta and then you banned him for rule 3 later, I'm presuming my interpretation is correct that up to 7 subsequent comments were also violative of rule 1 and/or rule 3.
I always tell mods, including myself, beware of reacting disciplinarily when part of the user's objection is about you rather than about something else. Reasons for discipline must be straightforward and transparent and separable from what the user says about the mod personally. Verbum sat.
The ban was for rule 3. The last straw was calling this place an ashtray, they are not here in good faith but rather to cause division where ever they can, literally the definition of subversion.
The 1 meta post was given a warning that it would be the only one approved and there is a ban history on that topic.

I'm not sure they can..
Filter blocked more meta posts and I'm in no need to allow their disruption to continue.
