    Sounds like they want a one day site-wide ban?

    I do. All offensive or difficult topics are to be started in Ah. Moving them all to their proper forums gives terry and karoma something to do during the day
    I can't speak for Karoma, but he's right about me.

    You could apply the same logic to reg'd users and people with high post counts. Some people are just going to moan, no matter what. The modship badge just gives them a target. If you didn't have that, they would target something else.

    Just do what you did with Yore Ma in AH and infract / ban anyone who starts a thread / post with "As a mod you should know better":D That will give them a valid reason to complain :D

    Cakefiend started this thread. Do you expect us to ban him? He's a mod for gods sake, we can't be at that, we lose our ban bonus if we do.

    I don't think it's stupid to certain extent. I've seen moderators that I've felt are way out of line on a constant basis and what more can you say except - he really should know better? A mod is going to be someone, ideally, who's been around boards.ie a considerable length of time and fully understands both the way it works and it's limits. And therefore should have some level of cop on when it comes to blatant trolling - not to mention as a valued mod to the site you shouldn't be of that mindset anyway - yet you do see it, again, on a constant basis from certain mods (not naming any names).

    Maybe it's just me but I fail to see the problem with people quoting said famous line, I'd certainly expect a mod to 'know better' in many of the situations often brought up. And while we're here, there is an excessive tendency for certain mods to predictably rise to the complaint with little more then harassment regardless of the validity of the claim. Some mods are great, most of them are. But there are mods whose contributions to feedback are almost entirely dedicated to antagonizing the original poster regardless of how valid his complaint is.
