How about a tag for the thread that says moderated or something and when you tap that tag it goes to the mod notes in that thread?

Good decision. I fully agree. No doubt DrDeth will piss me off once again at some point, and then I’ll release my frustrations in the designated Pit thread. The SDMB moves on, as always! 🙂

I appreciate the thought that went into this. Any elaboration for the reasoning behind the reversal would be appreciated as well.

Much better than i worded it. Thanks.

Mea culpa, I absolutely could have and should have worded my response better. No doubt. My apologies to all.
