**MordecaiB** has been suspended for three days for posting multiple rants like this one: > [@Attack the post; I did that](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/attack-the-post-i-did-that/961763/44): > > Isn’t it more like the other mods corrected you? I really doubt all the other mods agreed with you, but you decided on your own to rescind the note. Well good, because the mod note was a bad call. Should we offer you high praise for doing part of the right thing? Because the other part is an apology to the person you wronged, not the board in general. Over a mod note and your refusal to consider his complaint as legitimate when he pointed out that you were wrong. Which you were, and you admit… … directed at **Aspenglow** and later at **Puzzlegal** - all in connection with a moderating issue that had already been resolved. Posters are free to take issue with SDMB moderation within reasonable limits, but when criticism becomes obsessive, as was the case here, we draw the line. This isn’t the first time **MordecaiB** has done this; he was previously topic banned for attacks against Hari Seldin - see: > [@Moderation in the More Jokes thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/moderation-in-the-more-jokes-thread/951537/46): > > You have been told this before. You are certainly allowed to discuss the moderation here, as long as you are reasonably respectful while doing so. You cannot go on Pit-style rants against moderators, and you cannot attack or harass the staff. Since you consistently refuse to obey these rules, you are hereby topic banned from discussing Hari or his moderation. Note to all: As TubaDiva used to say, nowhere in the registration agreement does it say that you get to beat the mods like a stubborn m… We could also stand a lot less of the imperious tone evident in threads like this one: > [@Chronos, remove your commentary on this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chronos-remove-your-commentary-on-this-thread/946844/2): > > I would strongly advise you to stop trying to give orders to the staff. You are not an admin. Further instances of such behavior will result in additional suspensions or banning. As a reminder to all: constructive criticism of SDMB moderation is fine; badgering the staff will get you tossed. ---
