What I would like to clarify is if I want to bitch about a Mod as a poster rather than the actions. This post seems to imply I can’t. Yet Mods can easily post with “Mod Hat off” or even easier don’t even mention that they are acting as a Mod.
One more point- if a member is pitted prior t becoming a Mod, is that pitting allowed to stand? Or is it silently removed to the catacombes under the Vatican.
Czarcasm, please don’t feel obliged to get on your white charger and defend everything management.
It’s allowed to Pit mods for non-moderator posts. You want to take issue with my opinion that Scott Pilgrim vs the World is the greatest film of the last ten years, go wild.
It’s not my forum, but your last sentence is wholly inappropriate and potentially actionable. You should really know better.
If they don’t note that they’re acting as a Mod, my assumption is that they’re not acting in their capacity as a moderator. The mods as a group seem to be pretty good at making that clear.
Since that poster could not have been acting as a mod beforehand, the pitting can’t be about his/her moderating behavior. Almost certainly, the thread would survived his/her promotion/punishment.
I was Pitted for actions as a mod before the policy was changed to move complaints to ATMB. Those threads of course are still around (as for the other mods whose appointments predate the change).
