Ok, after reading this threads there will be noggin crashing on both sides of the fence.
Gman, spam is spam, get over yourself. You can cry it's unfair, but in reality, you spammed. On the otherhand, the moderators got a little out of hand with this one.
Good job, rookies, you succesfully swatted flies with Howitzers.
Now, as far as I see it.
SnS was being silly, but hardly harmful. We are all silly from time to time, and that includes me.
Warnings revoked for Spam
However, I don't give a rats ASS what you think about the moderating staff, you will use proper channels.
Don't flame the mods, don't cheer them on, don't do their job for them, don't get in the way; they, like it or not, are protected like all of you. Flame them, and you get warned, no damn excuses.
To that end, if I catch anyone doing that again . . . I don't care if you were personally outed by a moderator with photographic evidence . . . I will ban you from the board. If I catch moderators flaming anyone from here on in, you will loose your job, and you will be extremely lucky if I don't ban you for some unforseen reason.
If you feel wronged, PM me or another admin and we will investigate it.
Some of you have the faulty notion that we are Moderators with oversized egos, but I assure you that Admins are here to moderate the Moderators as well as set and enforce policy.
To that end, run around that policy again, and post bickering fights and other nonsense concerning how you were wronged in a thread, I will kick your ass off of this board so fast your DSL will be rubbing it's ass for days.
Moderators involved in this thread report to admin/mod chat for further chew outs, because some of you need attitude adjustments as well.
This flame and spam pit stays closed.
SnS may open another thread, but it better stay clean. (That is a warning to ALL people on this board, staff or otherwise.)
