You are correct, I’m absolutely a poster unless I do the Staff Highlight and usually have either “Moderating” or “Warning” in the post. You can even bitch about my posting when not moderating, you just aren’t allowed to complain about my moderation outside of #About This Message Board.

I thought your question was very reasonable and in line with what this thread is about. Especially as I was just being a grumpy poster with Kimmel thread.

So some of my official posts are less moderating and just information like this one.

No, it was to do with Trans-People. [Topic ban for Demontree on Trans and related issues](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/topic-ban-for-demontree-on-trans-and-related-issues/1023312). You’re fine. No problem even by accident.
