And by a mod too :rolleyes:

Where does he/she mod btw? It's not stated under their username, a bit confusing tbh

Even AH regulars know when a topic is a serious one ffs

I did report the post btw, but I see no harm in letting others see the muppetry that some MODS show at times

Bloody horrible imo, it made my blood boil

No offence but did this really need a feedback thread? You reported the post, let the mods deal with it.

imho it did need a feedback thread, because it crosses to another issue that was raised today

one of the issues raised there was that people didn't know where mods modded. And his/her profile does not state that either

From looking at the wording of the post, and from seeing that it's AH, I would give the benefit of the doubt to Windsock.

John Mason

a mod is only a mod in their forum outside of that forum they are regular users.

regardless of this fact, what makes you think windsock is a mod? her profile doesnt saying about being a mod

mike65

She used to be, no?

You're assuming that AH is a full blown trollfest, it isn't. A serious topic is usually treated as such and anyone that would post something like that is usually banned.

Her name is in bold, what is she then?

Mike, maybe. I have no idea. Her name is bolded so I assumed she was a mod

John Mason

she is a registered user in AH not a mod

Nope I'm well aware that serious topics can be seriously discussed in AH. However "trollish" answers are still very much a part of AH. Because of that, I would be reluctant to say that Windsock seriously meant what she said.

I just think that Windsock was using heavy handed irony, in other words she stated the opposite of what the truth was for her.

whatduck

I think users who's name are in bold but have no forums to mod are former mods who haven't had their bold title changed.

Don't think Windsock is a mod atm.

If it doesn't say Mod under the name, the user is not a Mod of a forum.

You've got a reported post about this.

Sorry, I'm a little unclear about what you mean that I've "got a reported post about this"?

And no, I'm not duplicating any issue here.

If you can't see the issue here then how can you rule on any other issue? I've seen people get banned for less and have any appeal decided against

While it's not my thing at all, I've seen worse in AH, and I myself have probably made equally bad jokes about other stuff that falls within my particular acceptability boundaries. And going by the user, I'd say it was just a joke.

Don't think it really warrants a feedback thread tbh man.

javaboy

You've two issues here:

• The content of the post - Dealt with on thread thanks to the reported post. No need to raise it here separately. The second issue has no bearing on this.
• Is WindSock a mod? - She used to be but had a voluntary siteban for a while. Some kind of glitch or something leaves her with a bold username as if she were a mod but she's not.

I agree, I've seen worse and probably posted worse too. But in the context of the thread it was either a lapse of judgment or a really horrible thing to say.

It's just my opinion, and if an Admin wants to close the thread that's fair enough. I've had my say

Javaboy, ok I apologise for overreacting and posting here about it. But I have seen people get banned straight up for less, if it was a member with 40 posts they'd be called a troll. I don't judge anyone by their post count or status

You reported the post that you are posting about here, you reported the post?

And no, I'm not duplicating any issue here.

You admit that there is a thread about a seperate issue on Feedback Forum that is also included in this thread as a secondary point/question. No need to cloud the issue by reposting that point.

If you can't see the issue here then how can you rule on any other issue? I've seen people get banned for less and have any appeal decided against

You've reported the post. Why are you starting this thread 3 minutes after doing so?

What is the feedback, is it Windsock, the fact that you don't like the way the Mod tag is shown, or the fact that someone posted something that you think they shouldn't have?

Put your tags away mate, I'm not an idiot, I can read a post coherently without that sort of patronisation or aggression, or whatever else it was intended as.

I may have overreacted due to the context of the post rather than the post itself. My brother has Autism and I don't appreciate that kind of ignorance towards a subject thats so complex, whether its meant as a joke or not.

You can close this obvious train wreck now. I'll know not to raise an issue here agian

Then I guess you see both sides to the story. That's great you appreciate the time that goes into reported posts and feedback threads, I appreciate that.

It's a shame that you see this now as pointless, but I can't tell you how to see it. You could have at least ended on jazzhands or something though.

When are posters supposed to know when we are not allowed to make light of an issue? Are we not allowed to do it when it affects one of the mods but we are allowed to joke and piss take when it is not about an issue they are connected with?

To hell with who is offended, mods, cmods, admins or otherwise. Everything is fair game for humour, no exceptions. Nothing is so sacred that it should not be able to be poked fun at.

Is this a troll or an attempt at sarcasm? I can't decide.

it's ironic that someone with an avatar of a character created by Matt stone and Trey parker should try to tell people that some subjects are not ok to laugh at.

Your brother has autism. What am I supposed to do? What is Windsock supposed to do? Should we never mention Autism again? Why don't we ask everyone to list the subjects they don't want discussed?

If you see ignorance, then point it out and make your case. Stop trying to get the subject banned or treated differently to every other subject just because it affects you personally.

Oh yeah, the rest of the thread was the cream of intelligent discussion.

WindSock

I did type out an apology to anyone I offended affected with autism, but after reading this thread I realise the op has more of an issue with my name highlighted in bold than the actual post.
Yes, it was a silly thing of me to post, but if I am going to have to apologise for 6/10 of my posts then I may as well stop posting altogether. I tried to do that before, but it didn't work. I try to think sometimes too before I post but that doesn't work all of the time either. So maybe the solution here is to unbold me which was done. Now can I get back to being a spaz in peace?
