Iirc you have been out of line back when you complained about it, maybe dirty mouth is of to strong, please do not take every word literally, you are a native we are not.

As you have no idea what I talk behind the curtains, do you really think I have unconditional support for the mods? I try to protect them from themselves atm while I am also teaching them a lesson from my side, I am not happy about what happened and some things I did just learn from further investigating accounts and logs.

We are far beyond teasing here, this is a serious issue, so I take such "teasing" as blunt trolling and a reflection of how much you actually care about resolving it when you start teasing an admin while he is trying to resolve your demands.

Most of this came up because of Jalyst crossing lines and understanding housekeeping as cholrinating the whole place, I neither like that at home nor do I like it here so I had a word with him. If he understood to not to chlorinate our livingroom floor, we will see in the future.

For your wish, about resolving personal disputes ABC, I won't. I have tried that not only once and it ALWAYS ends up in me being the bad guy... bad admin, bad whatever, I read back from the post that has been reported to get the picture then I act according to common sense.

So if you now think that this always turns out to me deleting the reported post you are again wrong, not only once I edited a semi-offending part and told a reporter to grow some balls and sometimes even infraction points were handed out for troll-feeding! Call it whatever you want but some attitude is better left outside of tmo. Those chicken troll games are not really worth anyone's time but still people like to get someone off his chair. And to get someone off his chair some neat phrasing is enough to get a non-native off his chair, or a bad phrasing to get a native off his chair... some intentional some unintentional. The last one I checked was unintentionally picking up a fight, Jalyst surrendered by deleting the posts, yeah would have turned out differently if he went by me but as I said earlier and also in the council-mail, it is sometimes better to not get me involved as I do pick only one side and that is maemo, at some point I will revoke mod rights just like anyone else would do.

As this thread was originally not about your personal issue but about the general transparency of moderation I call it here, if you need to further explain, blame, flame, send me an email and we discuss further.

I talked to HtheB (not lately) and Jalyst (just now) and hope they understood my points. If you have further issues with the transparency of mod actions let me know directly if you do not like to get in a personal argument with a mod - and mods, if you think you get involved personally, step back and ask upstairs to drop in, as soon as you are personally involved you are in fact biased, even if it is only to protect yourself.

PS: I know that you cannot link to a deleted post, link to the thread, if you know it link to the page, I see deleted posts.
