I know my posts won't have the greatest impact since i'm not a usual poster most of the times I only read threads and joined in the N900 crowd.

I'm a moderator on another forum and indeed I believe your course of action was the best, I joined the thread in the early beginning and kept reading until it was closed.

Lets face it, it wasn't an area where you could actively do something, you warned people that should be over 5 years old and have a brain that it could damage their device or not be a final version, you tried to guide the thread to keep it has controlled has possible.

Imho you did all you could and when you saw things were getting out of hand you escalated exactly like you should.

In my point of view your acting method was indeed the best and I could only hope all moderators would be the same has you in every forum I ever used of moderated !

I don't know if the reason for quitting was only this thread, and I sure do know moderation is hard work that takes us a few hours without getting any retribution and sometimes only the dislike of most forum members.

Hope you continue with us and that i don't get many crappy posts deleted from you
