@Dilbert2001 - How new I am to this role is of no import here (however, I've done years of moderation and community help in my past), as the comment you mentioned, the poster did not say you were a Jmod, he asked if you were "being paid to spread this shilling"
I know he wasn't calling you a JMod, as JMods don't advertise or spread awareness in that way. That said, his message by itself was not derogatory or directly flaming in the usual way. I do understand where you are coming from, but in some cases, I believe that a thicker skin would serve you well.
That said, regardless of how many times someone mentions that in passing, I will treat each case as it's own thing, and if it's decided that their post is not "out of conversation" and not "overly offensive/flaming", than I will make the call as I see fit, no background needed on this case.
Remember that any decision made, that you don't agree with, can be taken to the Forum Moderation Review section, and addressed there.
Thank you,
They said I could become anything, so I became a torch.
Your friendly neighborhood CM!
