Just so I am clear, if a mod is participating in an everyday non mod thread, contempt of mod could not be used if you continually pushed back or questioned the mods political beliefs or the accuracy of what they are saying or even disagreed with them,
As long as it doesnât pertain how this board is run or decision mods have madeâŚspecially when mod notes to knock it off. Any disagreement you go to private room.
For the record, I also expect a mod/admin (on any board or group) to be able to separate someone interacting with him on an issue from someone interacting with him on how the board is moderated. And never to wield the mod hammer to end a discussion on a non-moderating question he knows heâs losing. (And for the record, I have never seen that done here from our current mods. )
I canât speak to the OPâs situation, but I can attest there was a former moderator who played pretty fast and loose* with the contempt of mod ruling
Doing exactly what the mods said not to do with the thought streams duplicating already-existing topics will definitely get a suspension. Public flame-outs and forum lawyering were the deciding factors in why the lame-ass TTTM was done away with.
Hard Fact Time:
No one gives two â â â â â (or even a single â â â â ) if you, or I, or anyone else publicly flames out. They either come back and get laughed at for the public flame-out, or get forgotten altogether by next week.
