No! Not at all. I just realized Tapa talk offered the moderator tools and I wanted to try them. I suppose I could moderate my own posts but where’s the fun in that? ---

Wait a minute. Moderator tools? So you want to issue a warning/ban someone/kick them with jackboots from your mobile device? Technology is getting out of hand. Moderate away. Please don’t make it so I have to open a thread asking my warning/banning/footprint marks on my backside be rescinded. Respectfully submitted, Lare ---

Having had some time to think about it, I can’t help but wonder if she can make me a mod from TapTalk. I don’t know if I want to be a mod here (I’m way too sensitive to survive the ATMB pittings) but I’ve got a good tagline if I could moderate in ALL the forums… Lare Moderation in everything. ---
