In a closed thread titled Request, Štemajzl wrote:

Well, since I have to remind the local crowd every few pages anyway, I might as well chew this over here too.
The 'mother-in-law' section isn't a dedicated chat room—and those topics aren't some private, gated support group just for daughters-in-law.

Every few months, we have to drop these warnings for users who lose it whenever they encounter anything other than mindless validation and coddling. Some people just need a warning post, others need their comments deleted, and for some, even a ban doesn't work. Different strokes for different folks, I guess...

This response has nothing to do with why the Request thread was opened in the first place.

Since the topic is closed and he ignored my question, I’d like to know what the objective standard for "chat" is—and why his chatty posts in that controversial thread aren't being wiped out?

Also, I reported his insulting comment about how "mothers know exactly what kind of snakes they raised," and nobody did anything. I’m asking for an explanation as to why that kind of harassment is allowed.

Thanks.

Is this sufficiently explained now?

Since the original thread was locked, I’ll address this here—and the answer is a resounding no. It’s only "funny" when the moderator is part of the chat themselves. 😕 Or, you know, when you drop a sharp critique that would earn someone else a ban. I don't even post on closed threads often, and when I do, I stay strictly on topic; I’m not hanging out in some little clique of chatters.
That is precisely why I asked: by what standard is one person's casual chatter considered "contributing to the topic," while someone else posting the exact same thing is labeled as "trolling"?
The question was brief and direct. Unfortunately, once again, an actual answer has been withheld.

So I finally got a reply to my DM. He basically said he isn't deleting those moderator posts because—in his opinion—it’s not necessary. If you have an issue with what he’s doing, I guess you just have to take it up with him directly. It’s a bit ridiculous, really—but whatever.

He didn't even comment on my chat.

And honestly, maybe I'll end up getting banned for sharing what was said in a private message—who knows.🤷
It's probably not worth getting worked up over when nothing is going to change anyway. It’s just the usual crowd chatting away. 🤣

What do you think—should we kick this thread off? 😁

If you’ve got a grievance, take it up with him directly. Honestly, what a joke. It’s one of those ridiculous situations where you’re just left staring at the screen thinking, "Are you kidding me?" But hey, that's just how it goes sometimes.

Good grief.🙄

His own chat hasn't even offered a single comment.

And now, honestly, I might get banned for recounting what was said in a private message—I don't know.🤷
There’s really no point in getting worked up when you know damn well nothing is actually going to change. It’s just a bunch of yes-men talking in circles in the chat. 🤣

What do you say we get this thread moving? 😁

They shouldn't be handing out bans for that. It’s a total double standard. Another moderator actually posted a private message right here on the board, and they didn't face any consequences whatsoever.

hollowtrucker77, since you’re already hanging out here chatting with the rest of us... 😉Alright, let’s walk through the protocol here. How is this even supposed to work? When a moderator is constantly spamming the chat—I’m talking frequent, non-stop interruptions—and then turns around and bans you for doing the exact same thing, isn't that a little bit ridiculous? It feels like a joke. Is it even worth reporting their oversight to them directly? I mean, if they're the ones breaking the rules, why would they care about a complaint? I want to know what the official procedure is for escalating this. Who else can I report this to that actually follows the established guidelines? I’d really like to resolve this without having to start a massive, repetitive thread every single time this happens. Thanks.

Look, I’ve been around this forum long enough to know exactly how things work here. I know the difference between staying on topic and drifting into off-topic nonsense, and frankly, I've been waiting far too long for a response regarding the swabs discussion. 🙂

Just so we're clear, the admins are the ones sitting above the moderators, so you can shoot them a PM if you need to—just try to keep it brief and to the point, if you can manage that

Thanks. Alright, one last question from me—I honestly don't even know who the admin is. Would that be Desiree?🤷

Man, you definitely got off easy! I once reported some moderator posts on a subforum where they didn't even have authority, and ended up getting hit with an infraction myself for "imaginary trolling" by another mod. Can you even beat that? 😁

Where on earth did all those purple users come from? I’m looking at the list of people currently online right now, and all I see is smart bich, who was actually a different color—red. Is there some kind of specific ranking or list for this? Thanks.

Thanks.👍 Do you happen to know the actual difference between the supermoderators (the ones with red badges) and these black-badge moderators? I'm wondering if those first guys actually have access to more tools or settings.
