That is what in general is happening, you report with a reason, if the mod does not see reason it is dropped, if he sees reason he acts, that is exactly what jalyst did, that started an argument and then I told him that he must not get into this kind of argument (getting personal and stuff), shut it down, write a reason below, give infraction - not nice but before you get involved personally.. when you are in personally mods need to go to supermods/admins and ask them to solve the issue. What people most of the time do not understand is that at the point I need to get involved I do no more asking questions, I read conversations and posts and wipe the plate clean as I see fit. If there is an apology to be made or not and so on. People tend to attack me personally as soon as I get involved publicly, so I try to not get involved.

You know the game, you are a thread hijacker and get caught with your hands in the cookie jar and yes everybody here thinks they are right, always, some of them know what my toolbox looks like from below as I do not even bother to get the hammer out of the box... and yes it seems you are back on topic (mostly) at least I hear no complaints anymore

Those whom have seen my toolbox know that they get a msg about why and what happened. Most frequent response is still "WHY?", most frequent answer is then "so you cool off, take the 3 days and do something useful"

To add a closer, there was no harm done here, you can read the history of the posts yourself and jalyst did add an explanation to each (last) edit that was then edited by the original poster again - which got some confusion spread although the edits did not even change the context, just the language was cooled down so the thread does not get into a serious fight. That was actually good moderator work but in this forum or in forums in general people do not like when mods change their wording, they want to sound angry, they want to get into a fight they want to get banned for three days or at least get some infractions so they know it was worth while it lasted... so all of you take a deep breath, jalyst try to not overedit things, let the boys fight if they want to and send them into their corner when it got out of hand. If they start arguing with you about the then deserved infraction or editing of language, let me know and I grab my toolbox to fix it, some nails should do it.. (sorry I am out of duct tape).
