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.
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.
and yet, that is how it is. many a time ive had a mod message me saying "do not reply to a mod, i am a mod" with an underlying message of "I have different colour name, i am all powerful and you will be punished for the simplest of things"
in all honesty, many mods allow their personal feeligns towards a player influence their own rule enforcement. It was only the other day i noticed a new mod had been appointed, and the first thing this mod did was warn me about a sig rule of which he himself was breaking, aswell as other mods.
whilst mods help enforce rules, it should not be a rule violation to tell a mod they are wrong.
if you wish for this to be a rule, you need to ensure that all mods are from england/america or another country of which their native language is english, so as that any posts (of which are all english on these boards) can be interpretted properly and not misunderstood by a mod that is unable to speak the language fluently. And ofcourse, mods that are able to be criticised publically without throwing in the "im a mod damn you, you will respect my authoritoir!!"
