Steve, u cover FMod I hop?
In regards to forum moderating: are there sections of this forum that have slacker rules specifically the Off Topic section of the HLF, and if this is the case is there any particular reason? I ask as I've seen certain enlightening images that suggest that may be the case.
On a personal account related query I was recently in a "discussion" with a forum mod regarding the actions of another moderator on a random thread, and let's just say neither of us would back down and it carried on for a couple of days, haha.
Now during this he said I was lucky to not be banned and that due to my continued ignoring of him/rules (Just to clarify had he checked the time stamp he would have known I wasn't ignoring him) he was passing the subject on, not that I particularly want to be banned, but was this an empty threat? A mere triviality if truth be told.
Another concern of mine, and from what I've seen others, is how are we to know if a J mod has looked into a query of a moderators actions. Yes we could take yours and the moderators word for it, but sadly people are very skeptical of this (myself included if I'm honest). Perhaps a post on said thread I mean if you are checking the thread a follow up would be nice and also state abusers of it would be harshly dealt with or something.
Previously if I had a query about an action I would pop onto the Forum emergencies thread when a mod was active post my query wait 5-10 minutes and be told yes they made a mistake or you were a naughty boy.
I spend most of my time on the Off Topic section of this forum and it has saddened me to see the community forced into exile so to speak. Is there any possibility that rules regarding sensitive subjects religion, science (evolution, cloning etc), politics and other subjects that occasionally cross over will be allowed (No harm in asking though I can predict the answer). I know Crow attempted to encourage some form of stimulating discussions before he was sadly take
