Why the rash of moderator changes??

I agree with that! What I was refering to was the public debate he had with a mod. I think that it was good for the community to see it (even if difficult-as it surely must have been). I was just wondering weather or not Markos would handle it that way again or do it in a more private manner.

Out in the open is more fun.

In fact we should have a ban thread, where banned posters can whinge about their ban when they return.

Hmmmmmmmmm, NO.

Most likely those threads would turn into "temporary reinstated just to be banned again" threads.

Isn't that what CounterGlow is for?

Nope. The Personal message feature was still pretty new at the time, and I certainly wasn't aware of any such rule at the time of that debacle. I'd actually posted quites from my own PM's prior to that, with no censure at all. You'll note that others were surprised too.

Be that as it may. He publicized a PM he had received from MarkG, in which he was told to behave. Anybody would know that was not the proper thing to do

It sure seemed that way for awhile...

Who is El Moderato Grande of the Spanish forums? Does he speak/read Spanish? I imagine one could get away with a lot of mischief there if Ming, et al, had no idea what was being said there....

Feephi: Jaybe is mod of the Spanish forum, and yes, he is Spanish.

Bad days... I think ACOL is open for business though.

He didn't name anyone.

Here's a challenge.....

You think your so clever but you just insult and troll. Go troll somewhere else

That might have come from a PM I received, possibly as long ago as three years. Then again, I might have just made it up. Ultimately only I know. What difference does it make to anyone else?

It'll be interesting to see if I get banned for that.

[Locutus]

That's Jay Bee.

Why do people keep messing Jaybe, Jay Bee and JayBee up, I mean, it's not that hard, is it?


And as for the yin issue:

Someone posting a PM in public: bad idea.
A mod posting a PM in public: very bad idea.
A mod posting a PM from MarkG in public: very, very, very bad idea.
A mod posting a PM from MarkG about his behaviour as a mod: I don't think there are words to express the badness of that.
