Every thread has a topic, and talking about the moderator action that a mod just did is almost never the topic of discussion. So replying would make your post off-topic. There is a rule against spam/off-topic posts.~Wolverine~ wrote:Haz wrote:~Wolverine~ wrote:Empy wrote:Because the majority of the time it's off-topic and there is a dedicated sub-section for discussing moderator's actions, and why they're muppets.~Wolverine~ wrote:So whats the logic behind not being allowed to post in reply to a mods modding?
ya i get that and like your majority there.
But what harm does it do? The fact that a mod has to comment means theres more then likely spam there in the first place, and should be closed anyway.
Its pointless. Its not like your all high and mighty and nobodys allowed to reply to you, just cause you wrote in a different colour of writing.
It's nothing to do with someone thinking they are "all high and mighty". It is that discussion of mod actions does not belong in the thread where the action occured. More often than not, the discussion of the mod action would bring the thread discussion off topic.
exactly, but what's the harm in doing so? You post or 'mod' in a topic, why cant somebody reply? Its POINTLESS and just means more effort for you guys doing your 'jobs'
That being said, at this point in time I don't agree with how the rule currently is or is being enforced. Although I just recently voted B on that voting thing, I think replies to a Mod's post should be treated the same as every other spam post. Action is only required if the post has made the thread go off-topic. A single solitary post can't do that.
