The rest of us are told to live with what we post.
The rest of us are also warned for bringing off-board drama to this one.
What gives with the special treatment?

I was the one who removed it.
I would have removed any thread that was about or stemmed from other board drama as it creates a highly potential chance of board wars.
We’re not that bored.
Yeah, way too much like bringing an RPG to a toothpick party.
Did you warn or note Opal for bringing off-board drama here? Or is there some exception for that infraction too, that the rest of us aren’t party to?
Cool. Where can I get a Men in Black flashy thingy?
What thread was it that got removed?
Is there a reason you’re linking to a post Idle Thoughts made five months before he was a moderator?
I’m not sure we’re allowed to say. Well, I’m probably not allowed to say. Neither is Vinyl Turnip. As for the rest of you, who can keep track these days?
Gwarsh, Miller, you sure got me. Guess I didn’t get the Yearly Rules Update Supplement II-B.
Consistency is all I ask.
I wasn’t a mod (yet) when I made that post, so no idea what you’d have expected me to do about it.
No, much like I wouldn’t have warned anyone else for bringing off-board drama here. I’d have taken the same action I did with this one.
I believe it was the thread where she got all boo-hoo-woe=is-me because some people found “private” pictures of her that she posted to her very publicly-accessible gallery site.
I must have missed it entirely then.
Whew. For a minute there I thought I hallucinated that whole thing.
I think you made an error, and you’re not interpreting the rules and customs of the board the same way as the other mods and members have been.
Yeah, I think any other mod would have locked the thread, not disappeared it, and given any other poster a warning. Idle Thoughts seems to be a different type of mod, and Opal seems to be untouchable.
i have to question the potential for a board war myself. the posters at the other places are all dopers or former dopers. i’ve seen many a thread referencing the snarkpit, giraffeboards, wherever, and they’re normally locked with a mod note or warning, not deleted altogether. why does opal get special treatment?
She’s Opal, duh.
She’s not getting special treatment. We do sometimes warn people for bringing off-board issues to the SDMB, but mod notes are also given. (Recent example here.) I’m not going to recap the thread to explain why it was removed, but in addition to the off-board issue, it was personal stuff that didn’t need to be out in the open.
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
Hi, you must be new here.
