I use Moderator Notes: for any moderator actions I take that are not an official, documented warning. That could be from as little as changing the title to as much as a three paragraph screed to a poster.
Moderator Warning: goes on ones permanent record.

To begin with, it wasn’t a warning; I didn’t hand out a warning because a one-off snarky comment that isn’t a direct insult doesn’t usually merit a warning. (Case-by-case basis, though.)
But the thread was about a problem a poster was having with his computer; you came in there to hijack the thread by throwing in a snarky comment that had zilch to do with the OP (thus, “hijack”).
The Pit is a perfectly good forum for venting your frustrations over someone’s signature. If you don’t want to start a thread; if you feel the signature isn’t worth the Pit investment, then fine. Just keep your snarky hijacks out of MPSIMS.

A one-off wisecrack is out of place in a forum devoted to Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share, eh? Lighten up.

Oooh - are there any Moderator Warnings on my permanent record?
(I assume we can be told this…)
Hi! I’m really new here. I just want to say I think it’s really really horrible how everybody won’t leave SkipMagic alone when he was just doing his job. Nobody understands what a difficult decision this must have been for him. He probably was thinking about it for a really long time and didn’t want to write his note but he knew deep down in his heart that it was the right thing to do. I hope this doesn’t make anybody mad at me but I’m going to try to explain it because I’m really good at explaining things! Imagine if Skip had not said anything. Then probably something like this would have happened:
Bosda: “I’m not going to get a new sig. Why don’t you get a new sig.”
Bear: “No. You get a new sig.”
Bosda: “No. You get a new sig.”
Bear: “No. You get a new sig *and * get a new name too.”
Bosda: “No. You get a new sig and a new name and a new Smiley.”
Bear: “Make me.”
Bosda: “No. You make me.”
That would really waste everybody’s time and set a really bad example too because then everybody would be fighting like that all the time.
BTW, I feel really scared to admit this but I don’t think I can get in trouble here so I want to tell everybody about this big mistake I almost made. I almost wrote “I like your name” in Bosda’s thread. But I’m really glad I didn’t because then I would be a hijacker too and all the mods would yell at me and SkipMagic would have to write this:

No. I had just read that Tiddy Bear thread, and I went to the site in the video. I was going to post the link and say “It’s real, here’s the website from the video”. Actually, at first I was going to call the 1-800 number to check, but then noticed the website.
Anyway, there was already a post mentioning the website, so there was no need for my post. But, I still had the URL in my clipboard apparantly.
And Mods, you can close this thread. My question’s been answered.

I don’t care what your “explanation” is, from now on you will always be tiddy Bear_Nenno to me.

I wondered what the hell BN was talking about, then I remembered I had turned my sig display option off because of long, incredibly annoying sigs that are meant to be arch and witty, but somehow come off as weak, posturing, self fellating exercises that make you feel dirty and sticky afterwards for having viewed them.
In reading the sig at issue I realized that Skipmagic had been entirely correct in remonstrating BN for his comment. Skipmagic realized that even the smallest and seemingly innocuous comments words can scald one’s self esteem like dimethylmercury where just a tiny drop on the skin will burrow into your bloodstream and eat you up all the way to the very bones of your soul.
As a fighting man Bear is well versed in a variety of deadly, surreptitious mental assault techniques, and is well aware that this comment would grow and fester in Bosda’s consciousness until he questioned the validity of his very existence as a meaningless pit-stop on the expressway to oblivion.
Skipmagic needed to put a stop to that and he did. Well done! That’ll’ do mod… that’ll do.
