Look, please—just stop being so incredibly stubborn about this nonsense and leave me alone. Goodbye.

🤦

Hey, mods—can someone please step in here?
Honestly, nobody should have to deal with this much sheer frustration and unnecessary drama (or maybe it’s just one of those days, who knows?)—not even me.

As usual, you’re being a bit dramatic. Just give me a title and I’ll change it—The End.
It’s not like I'm the only moderator on the board, after all. If I hadn't checked in, you could have always sent me a message again.

Sorry, but I'm actually not quite sure which question you're referring to? It’s entirely possible I might have scrolled right past your message—which happens more often than I'd care to admit—so I didn't get a chance to reply.

Thanks. 👍

I shouldn't delete a stickied post until it expires—unless, of course, the admin wants to correct me there.

There’s a distinction between going off-topic and trolling, you know. Yesterday, things drifted off-topic quite a bit on my end, too. I didn't start the tangent, but I did try to scrub it away, since that isn't really where this discussion belongs.
I wasn't trolling, which—to be clear—isn't something I ever do.

A troll is someone who jumps into a thread specifically to stir up trouble. In their mind, they're both trolling and off-topicing at the same time.
If my definition is off, I'm happy to let the admin set the record straight.

Was I trolling yesterday just by posting pictures of what I bought? Not at all. Honestly, it wasn't even off-topic, considering it was a personal purchase.

Admin, if you're around, please step in so we can wrap this up. I don't really have the energy for an argument—I've got much better things to do.

Thanks for the heads-up.

A few inaccuracies and accusations have been thrown my way—both over there and right here—and this thread does a pretty decent job of summarizing them.
If I say things are untrue, I don't really feel the need to go into an exhaustive explanation, especially to people who clearly seem to be dealing with some personal frustrations. I'm just not sure what they stem from? 🤷 Maybe it's my moderation? 🤷

Look, if anyone (and I mean any single person on this forum) finds my moderation offensive, or simply can't tell the difference between off-topic chatter and actual trolling, they are more than welcome to report me to the admins. The admins can strip me of my duties whenever they like—even without providing a shred of reasoning. Short and sweet.

Personally, I don't have an issue with anyone here; my only problem is that I won't sit idly by while insinuations are spread about me or while I face the kind of serious accusations laid out in this thread.

If the admins decide that the claims made in the first two posts aren't serious, baseless accusations, then fine—they should feel free to remove me from my position.
If the admins fail to see the certain... shall we say, frustrations or perhaps even complexes described in those first three posts, then unfortunately, there isn't much I can do about that.
Some other members have actually reached out to me via PM, noting certain, well, psychological states they perceived. So, I'm certainly not an isolated case.

The suggestion that I'm some newcomer trying to hawk goods—specifically replicas or knockoffs—is a massive accusation.
If I actually wanted to advertise somewhere, even indirectly, I would do it the legitimate way—by paying for advertising and starting a dedicated thread.

And for the record, I am not in the business of selling furniture; I’m not a supplier.
The fact that I might be able to source something for someone at a lower price isn't about turning a profit; it's because I want to help people here save a bit of money when the opportunity arises—a point I believe I've made several times already.

Hopefully, that clears things up? Or wasn't it clear enough? Or was this entire response also considered off-topic, trolling, or a gross insult to the forum members? 🤷

Edit — I can delete everything I've purchased, and everything I want to, from both threads. It’s really no big deal.
If anyone is offended by the fact that I bought things—for myself—I honestly wouldn't even know how to respond to that. Do you, admins?

.. Which is basically grounds for getting fired, I suppose.😁

They certainly can. 👍
