Original message details are unavailable.
Do not discuss, target or impersonate Forum Moderators or their actions

Forum Moderators are here to keep the peace and help the Forums stay a positive, friendly community. Targeting them or their actions publicly will not be tolerated.

From the Code of Conduct. Discussing a moderator's decision on anything other than the Forum Moderator Review thread isn't allowed. Again, somewhat annoying, but that's just the way things are. Hags be hagglin', gods be god damn crazy, it's all happening ogre at Into The Fire

Those are indeed the rules. It's to prevent embarrassment of the mod when one makes a poor decision. JAGEX has always been a sensitive company.

I think it's just to minimize the arguing.

They probably figured that if a mod made a decision that people disliked, people would criticize the mod and cause a further ruckus. So instead of making sure their forum moderators do their job right, they just make the easier-but-more-oppressive decision to take away people's right to complain.

To be fair though, even when a moderator does their job right people are still going to angry, because no one likes being banned or having their posts hidden. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

A lot of the rules are just left over from a time when the forums used to field two thousand, rather than the fifty-two that are currently online. I'm told that this is partially due to an update which lowered the "active users" time-out rating from 30 minutes of inactivity- though I'm not sure what level of activity it has been lowered to. Still, there was a lot more animosity back in the day, and therefore a lot more reason to want to try and contain it by any means necessary.
