Moderator actions

If a moderator is going to change my avatar without my permission I really should be able to do the same to them or at least they should pay for that in EC..  Only fair.

MODERATOR ACTION:  AFTER CAREFUL DELIBERATION, THE ADMINISTRATION CONCLUDES THAT YOU SUCK, JOKEMONKEY.  CHANGE YOUR OWN AVATAR YOURSELF.

P.S. I HAVE NERDBADGE AND YOU DON'T.

SOMEbody got pwned by The MA-an!

Just speaking to fairness, understanding the rules, something that should be good for a forum.  This sets precedent.

MODERATOR ACTION:  Oh, like YOU care about rules, Spam-o.

I am reporting you to the moderator for slightly funny yet potentially offensive posts .

As a general rule, it's rather bad form for moderators to be changing PERSONAL settings, such as avatars, unless there is a clear violation with said setting.  (suchs as a big profanity for an avatar, yes, I've seen that done)

This, also my personal text keeps getting changed.

Then change it.

You guys are being boring (Uno) and/or trolling (SpamThing). 

(Stuff the victim can't change back themselves is entirely another matter, but not at issue in this case.)

I'm waiting for Dio to report loud hat guy...

Even having it changed until they change it back is inconvenient, and you really shouldn't do it unless you know they won't really mind.

[Buster's Uncle]

I don't.

Do I do stuff like that to mess with you?  Uno?  Anyone I'm not pretty confident will take it well?

No, I did it to Gamera and he's (counter)trolling, so everyone else stop bumping this killjoy thread, thank you.

As a general rule, I'm against an "it's ok to do it to this person, but not that" philosophy in moderating.  Set rules, no tolerance to violations across the board.  But, we've had that discussion elsewhere.


And, that SAID, I tend to be slow to whip out the banhammer and try diplomacy first, and have managed to "moderate" things here without using POWAS! (which I don't have) just fine in the past by reigning in problems back to a topic. 

Besides, no one wants me to flip on my troll switch.  It's buried pretty far these days.  For long enough few here have seen it.

I remember when someone flipped their lid and left a forum and plotted revenge for years at another forum because of a perceived moderation unfairness.

Just sayin'.

[Buster's Uncle]

How can I possibly have neglected to have installed a smilie for this long?

Please take a hint, gentlemen; I already asked nice, and that should be enough.
