Could the mods please not use mod notes to mock honored guests' posts?

@fallenturtle

I think the take away here is that mod notes should be clear, professional, and not used to make fun of honored guests.

Emphasis mine.

There you go again. Tsk, tsk.

OK, don’t leave me to my own assumptions then… why did post that? Why did you do it as a mod note? Why was it in the form of an animated GIF?

Now you want to ask? My Ressentiment is high right now. My intent has been wrongfully attacked, my character wrongfully assassinated.

I flat out asked you in a pm and here to just spell out what is meant in the Mod Note. I’m still not seeing a simple answer. That’s all that is being asked.

Did you? Are you sure?

100%. Don’t play games with me. I’m not playing.

I’m 100% sure it wasn’t.

Unfortunately, there aren’t always simple answers to every question.

No I didn’t. I don’t know what we are to learn from a mod note that is nothing more than a groovy graphic that says Fever Dream.

I’m glad you think it’s groovy.

If you didn’t learn anything from it, adjustments will have to be made. I’m pretty sure you did, though.

No I really didn’t. Please just say what was meant about that Mod Note. One sentence.

[WuWei]

How about: This thread belongs in Fever Dreams, but some people are trying to save it, help them do so.

[WuWei]

Hard to keep to one sentence.

All I’m asking is that when wearing your moderator hat to act more professional and to be clear in your communications. Silly graphics are not the way to do that. If you want to be silly, don’t do it as a mod note. I’m sorry if I offended you with my critique but I believe we are both working towards making these forums a better place.

I’ll give your opinion of my professionalism all the consideration it is due.

I’d hope so, but I suspect you’re being ironic.

And the fact that I have to question the sincerity of a mod is problematic.

Trolling is cool when mods do it.

[GWH]

Feeling one upped?

[WuWei]

Edit to avoid fever dream.

“Trolling” is at moderator discretion.

[GWH]

The gif is meant to be a hint. If you see it, try to reflect on your posts before hitting the reply button and ask yourself “Will this push the thread closer to the fever dreams category, or is it actually a valuable thought provoking post.”

[WuWei]

We have heard your voices! And we listen!

The graphic will not be used in a mod note by me any longer!

If you see it, you may understand it to mean the thread is on its way to Fever Dreams unless effort is made to save it. Friendly hint. It won’t be in a mod note though.

Is it silly? Yes. I like a bit of silly. What I don’t like is official moderator action. It hurts me to have to do it.

@fallenturtle and @LucyLou thank you for addressing your concerns appropriately.
