If there was a 'Most active moderator on the forum today' award, you would have won hands down, Cougar. 😉

Really, though, you would have had my vote. Unless drac is reading this. Then you would have my vote, drac.

I tend to find that the people who respond to these kind of posts are generally the people who wish they were nominated in these kind of posts*

Scam / finest use of dual logins. Junkyard for that whole gnusmas thing. Although what Junkyard wanted with two electric wheelchairs I'm not sure.

Not quite sure that'll fly given the response to gnusmas thread...

It wasn't advertised, not that there is a requirement - I guess if you spend a lot of time on here, it may be obvious - which ties in nicely with the alleged cliquishness of these types of threads.

Despite popular opinion, no, he isn't. That was the joke.

(And I'm not just saying that to protect his identity, he really isn't. If he was I'd never have brought it up in the first place.)

((or would I...?))

That would seem highly unlikely. Given that a) you wouldn't get a ban in isolation just for disagreeing about moderation, and b) he's not -actually- a moderator so it's simply not possible.

I probably shouldn't admit this out loud for fear of encouraging the bridge-dwellers, but I tend to be more lenient rather than less when something's directed at me / us. I had someone have a pop at me a couple of days ago which would've earned them a warning / short ban under other circumstances, I let it slide rather than be accused of an abuse of power / privilege.

I'm reasonably certain that all of the anonymous mods are users you'd never suspect in a million years and you wouldn't even believe me if I told you who they were. The "big hitters" are all out because ego.

Er, oh, shit.

Hang on - isn't that virtue signalling or something. I jest, if you can blow your own trumpet you bloody well should, IYAM.

I reckon Sandwich is a mod. Dunno why... 🙂

(-: Point was, "I'd argue but Moderator" is a [s]lazy[/s] moot argument in the Chat forum. I've said this time and again. I don't know of any Moderator ever, out or anon, who has abused their privs to win an argument or shut down criticism. Not least because if they did they'd get mauled by the rest of the team.

That's good to read. And I guess we all know that when it comes down to it, which is why I felt safe telling Drac to go **** himself the other day*...

*I didn't, really. I felt kinda mean. Which is why I self modded.

To be fair Junky, if you ever sent a Moderator email you'd out yourself inside of two days. (-:

I'll take your word. I'm probably getting names confused. I remember reporting a post once but my sense was that it was a secret mod who had posted it and it all got a bit mean. Who was that?

Yup like I say it’s never been a secret.

Well for one you’d need to narrow it down as we recieve dozens of reports per day. We can try and find it but it’s very tricky to late without a clue when, who or what it was about.

Your ban that I can see was for insulting someone, you were warned and your post was deleted. So you reposted it telling everyone it had been deleted. No mods were harmed in this insult or warning.

And I guess we all know that when it comes down to it, which is why I felt safe telling Drac to go **** himself the other day*...

I did and I was good.

No,it wasn't a request to find it. I just have some memory of reporting a post late one night and then realising that the person I was reporting to was the guy who had posted it. I thought it might have been scotroutes, but it could easily have been someone else. Sorry to have defamed him, I honestly meant no offence.

No worries we like to find out if poeple ask or sometimes accuse, not suggesting you have, but unless it’s recent and we happen to recall we struggle.

Oh, no, I think it was about a year ago.

Why not publish a list of possibles and I'll see if I recognise a name?
