I suppose that there are some borderline cases that we could construct but the difference between MH and a two year age discrepancy are two completely different things and not really similar in any way. Yes, calling someone to task over the difference between being 45 and 47 serves no purpose except to say “I think you are lying”. (Or possibly, “I am confused by this story, did I miss two years?” But that was not what the moderated post said.) Noting that someone claims to be a doctor in a medical thread, and a lawyer in a legal thread, and on a school board in a thread about school finances, is really quite different. I can assure you the moderators here don’t care about immaterial differences in your story, like your precise age in a dating thread. It’s only discrepancies that are material to your credibility that would be considered egregious falsehoods: > [@Reorganized SDMB rules](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/reorganized-sdmb-rules/968857/7): > > Fair point. I’ve eliminated false, inaccurate, and vulgar; we don’t mod for these things except in egregious cases covered elsewhere in the rules. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/strange-mod-note-re-following-posters-around-and-harassment/969713)._
