You can’t Pit the staff, and you can’t make Pit-style attacks on the staff in ATMB. This is the way Ed phrased it in his revised rules: > [@Reorganized SDMB rules](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/reorganized-sdmb-rules/968857/1): > > \*\*… If you wish to complain about a moderator, do so in a civil manner. Abusive or contemptuous remarks about moderators may result in revocation of your posting privileges. His post was definitely abusive and contemptuous. He insulted Aspenglow about her moderating, breaking a clear and big rule. This was over a non-warning where he insulted and attacked another poster. The full OP from ATMB now in the cornfield. > **Click to see the full OP** > > **Aspenglow is an idiot, and does not deserve to be a moderator** > > > [@On another topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/979865/1): > > > > > [@Should people avoid consuming art they enjoy from an artist who they dislike or disagree with on a personal level?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/should-people-avoid-consuming-art-they-enjoy-from-an-artist-who-they-dislike-or-disagree-with-on-a-personal-level/979721/133): > > > > > > Moderating: > > > > > > > [@Should people avoid consuming art they enjoy from an artist who they dislike or disagree with on a personal level?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/should-people-avoid-consuming-art-they-enjoy-from-an-artist-who-they-dislike-or-disagree-with-on-a-personal-level/979721/120): > > > > > > > > I am very thankful that the world does not depend on you to keep knowledge alive.

Also the post that set off the recent chain of events and of course the thread he started. > [@Breaking News: The West coast is on Fire](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/breaking-news-the-west-coast-is-on-fire/918512/267): > > On the contrary–it is PRECISELY on target. Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) said Sunday that it’s planning to shut off power to 361,000 customers in 36 counties beginning Sunday morning because of high winds and the “driest conditions of the season.” [PG&E Power Shutoffs: Electricity restored to 97% of customers - ABC7 San Francisco](https://abc7news.com/northern-california-power-outage-pge-pg-and-e-pge-map/7331596/) There is only ONE reason why they’re doing that–to try to prevent yet more fires. I suggest that you bother to pay attention to what’s going on around… > [@Video possibly showing Reptilian eyes](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/video-possibly-showing-reptilian-eyes/938348/32): > > Moderator Warning The only thing that you have succeeded with here is to receive an official warning for trolling. If you want to make insincere posts just to see the reactions and promote some sort of reptilian nonsense, do it somewhere else. The SDMB is about fighting ignorance, not promoting it. This is an official warning for trolling. Thread closed. > [@Why do many conservatives paint the entire public school system with a broad brush?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-do-many-conservatives-paint-the-entire-public-school-system-with-a-broad-brush/943657/78): > > Once again, the ignorance and arrogance in this thread is astounding. People, quit running your mouths about things that you know nothing about. Voyager here flatters himself that he knows how conservatives think, when it is clear that he knows nothing about the subject whatsoever. Most conservatives are emphatically NOT “fine” with police unions. They are grudgingly tolerated, whereas most other unions are actively despised. And the toleration is partly due to the fact that police unions … > [@On another topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/943689/1): > > Clearly a mod note wasn’t sufficient, so let’s try an official warning > [@What happened to "credibility"?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-happened-to-credibility/961029/47): > > Moderating: This is an official Warning for arguing moderation in a thread. Complaints about moderation belong in ATMB or in PMs. If you feel you were the subject of a personal attack, the appropriate way to handle that is to flag it for a moderator determination. You still have that option. > [@US Midterm Election watch along thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/us-midterm-election-watch-along-thread/974619/764): > > Warning for Bootb. I didn’t add all those Staff notes to posts to be ignored and an official Moderation Post. Modnote for @DeadTreasSecretaries, I’m going to assume you missed all the staff notes and my post. But this is pretty borderline. ---
