I didn't claim to psychologically analyse you at all. I said that it's interesting that of all the moderators you're the only one who makes it clear that they are moderator time and time again.

And anyone who has to reiterate that they Mod fairly again and again probably doesn't confidently feel they do. All the other mods are like the good referees you never notice. You only know who they are because people will joke about them being harsh (Ducado is referenced regularly to this effect)

Again, no full analysis on my part, merely observations with an element of psychological theory behind them.

I don't doubt your value to this forum, technically it's the best forum around and no doubt you're a reason for that but that doesn't mean you can play god which to some, me included it appears you are.

I am absolutely 100% confident in my moderation. Without even a bit of question and it's very rare that I get complaints over decisions made myself.

Did you possibly consider that my requirement to defend moderation decisions publicly might be something that I see as a collective good, informing the users who I've previously said don't get to see behind the curtain enough in terms of how mods look at decisions in general and correcting misinformation about us/the process therefore building a wider trust and making the process smoother for everybody when contentious decisions are made giving both the user the knowledge that there is an appeal system and an understand that Mod X doesn't personally hate you?

Nope. God Complex, obviously.

Valued observations there.

It's almost though the way I moderate has some *gasp* logical ends behind it like every single fucking thing I do, say or think to the point of humour.

By the way @roaminblue I said at about 10am this morning that I was going to ignore your post because it was the much more polite and ultimate the more sensible option. Though was goaded into it by several people who spat their dummy out at the idea.

It's now 7:30pm and my entire day has been spent fielding questions and correct misrepresentations or just arguing moderation points either in threads of by PM. This is the exact reason why I said I was going to ignore it because this shit always happens. Your expectation of a reply that directly answered your points has ultimately pleased you and cost me 9 hours of my day.

Most people who've took criticism like Damocles has would Jack it in and just be a poster. The fact he hasn't only adds fuel to the belief held by some that it's all about power.

Or maybe they would have a back bone and back themselves and their own judgement over the slings and arrows of people they don't agree with?

I think even the most biased loving mod fanboy would find him just a little condescending sometimes, we all have our negative personality traits, I did warn the poster he will get nowhere but God loves a trier

I am wondering who out of the two them will get repetitive strain injury first

Certainly doesn't appear that way to me. Without wanting to appear like alickarse myself I personally think the mods here let a lot of bullshit fly that they don't necessarily have to, apart from when de niro is on the wum. Damocles posts I always seem to find interesting, yours at this point sound a bit silly tbf. Should rein it in mate.

As I've said a few times, I don't care about how moderation works behind the scenes or even call your general moderating into question. I'm referencing your posts and you as a poster. It's because you bring the fact you're moderator to your posts so frequently that sets you aside, hence mine and others posts.

Your responses are now all along the same lines of how illogical my thoughts are etc, usual Damo style, so I'm going to duck out of this one now, I'm not adding anything to it and neither are you having to field my questions.

Sad thing is that even if this WAS an issue of right and wrong and I was 100% right I still wouldn't win the argument with you. The lack of diplomacy on your part is stifling many threads.

That's the "monarchy" for you I suppose, are you a frustrated Charles chomping at the bit by the way?

Anyway, I'll go back to lurking, screaming at my screen and posting periodically because it's like flogging a dead horse this one and I don't even know why I bothered in the first place.

I appreciate it's not a democracy and ultimately it's a pointless argument to make on my part when nothing will change but there are holes in the argument and instances of perceived hypocrisy. I'm no red on a wind up.

There are certainly arseholes in the argument.

Last time I found him condescending towards me I pm'd him with the title "Oi stop being a ****" and to be fair he replied without banning me.
