For some reason my previous post didn't send - apologies. Let's do a bumper crop now to catch up on things!

Dilbert2001 - The post you requested has since been hidden.

Trewavas - I agree with your concerns and share many of them myself. When I first saw your FMR post I raised the situation with some one of our F-Mods and I believe they've since spoken to the community member. Please let me know if their communication style has improved or not.

I hid some of their worst messages and if you find yourself in the firing line please let me know.

Dilbert2001 - The thread has been locked as per your request. If you continue to be targeted please raise it here and I'll take additional action.

I also raised this as a discussion with the F-Mods at the time.

4ev - The thread was locked, several weeks ago when I first saw your message here. I stand by my previous actions, as if sensible and sympathetic conversation could have taken place it's my place to encourage it. But, as you rightly pointed out, that never materialised.

Tenebri - Your post was correctly hidden as it discussed the person, not the topic. I know OP hadn't behaved much better, but at this time I won't be overruling the F-Mods actions.

ELITE STACK - I will not be overruling the F-Mods actions.

Trewavas - Thanks for the follow up message. I agree with what you're saying, and will work with the F-Mod team to raise and address some of these concerns.

Amiacalva - The F-Mods work very hard to ensure legitimate information is shared regarding trades and items. While I've no doubt your comments were credible, I trust their actions to ensure a broader integrity within the community.

Tawm - I agree and have hidden various posts and unlocked the thread. I'll raise it when I next catch up with the F-Mods.

Archaeox - The way I see it is as a thread full of compliments. No comments seem to be objectifying people, instead it's just a place for people to be sharing their opinions. I understand your concern if the topic were flipped, but I wouldn't expect the moderators to shut it down as quickly as you might think. And if they did, I'd consider that more sexist than this.

Amiacalva/Awake NY - It's not my place to discuss the integrity of threads. This is a community space and I trust our community moderators and community members to shape threads in ways that make them useful and to keep them honest. In the same way that I won't step in if someone starts a thread lying about the size of a fish they once caught, I have no place to step in here.

I recommend reporting suspected fraud and manipulation to the F-Mods in Forum Help. If you have specific grievances with F-Mods you can let me know specific details and I can do my best to investigate. Off the back of this, I'll raise this with the F-Mods and discuss protocol around these threads. If improvements can be made, I'll do what I can to champion them.

Likewise if you've got specific ideas, rules and templates that could improve this side of the community, I'd love to see you post them as threads for us to have a look over

A Cole - Thanks for your feedback, I'll discuss this with the team.

Tenebri - I'll mention this to the F-Mod in question because as it stands, I agree with you that their reply was unwarranted.

FrogFarmer - Please don't spam or abuse FMR. Please do follow the template on Page 1.

Corder - You're pretty awesome too 😎

GarbageAss - Please respect the F-Mods and their decisions.

I will not be overruling their actions. Looking at your thread I also feel it fits better in the Rants section given the strong use of capital letters and words like "disgusting".

Again, sorry for the delays. The next FMR sweep might be in the New Year, and if so have a great holiday season!
