It was an example. God knows how you're a super mod, you're horrible and patronizing. Bring @Catzy; back!!!

To an extent I agree with you that its a silly rule and it's something we have been discussing as a department because it's obviously something which is confusing both members and moderators. The problem is in deciding where to draw the line on whether someone is acting as a moderator and I think that seems to be the issue here too. While I don't particularly think you were telling her off for posting the image, I can also see it from Lee's view.
We'll be taking this into consideration before updating the rule. :)
Yes which I agree with Matt. If I had of said it outside the spam forum I would expect to be contacted with 'Please do not post pointlessly' not 'Leave moderating to moderators' as I'm doing exactly that.. I'm just pointing out the obvious.
Well whoever came up with that bloody idea @xxMATTGxx; fire them now as it's ridiculous and was fine before.
Also can I just say, how many sad acts do you actually see IMPERSONATING moderators on here? Can't say I've actually seen anyone trying to do a MOD's job in my whole 7 years here.
The thing is Chris where abouts in my post was I trying to impersonate a moderator? If I had of said 'Please don't post words that are filtered on the forum' then I would be impersonating staff but when I make a little jokey message 'OMG THAT POST JUST SWORE' it did? I'm stating the obvious not trying to do a moderators job. It's like posting in a thread about a picture of a house 'OMG THAT HOUSE IS MADE OF BRICKS'.
I wonder if someone swore on habbo and I shouted back at the person who committed such a disgusting rude crime 'OMG YOU JUST SWORE' would I get done for impersonating staff?
I've brought this up in like 4 threads now but what's the deal with editing one post in CAREER OR LUV for supposedly being off topic (despite being about love) and then leaving all the 1-2 word answer that add nothing to anything, even though they were clearly reported? Is that just because the forum manager, a super mod, and the moderator who made the edit (among other staff) were all guilty of such posts themselves and thus that thread is above the rules?
I know things got thrown around a bit when Martin left and Chrisstabbed him in the backgot the job but there's really no excuse for this when even in this very thread it's being stated that rules MUST be followed at all times in all places by all people
btw I disagree with the thread title as I certainly don't want moderation to stay as it currently is :P
