Leave moderating to the moderators rule is ridiculous and lame and stupid

[Kardan]

meh well either way I don't think its a massive issue!

Well, it turns out you can never get a warning or infraction for breaking the rule (which makes me think, why is it even a rule in the first place?) so it doesn't really matter if people break it, it's just more work for the moderators.

Well its the same for pointless posts, you can't get warned/infracted for it (but you can face bans and stuff I think)

How can you face bans if you don't get warned/infracted?

Its just the way its always worked I guess

Obviously normally its usernote > warning > infraction but if we used warnings and infractions for pointless posts there'd be no-one left on the forum . Basically if someone pointlessly posts a LOT in a short space of time then they can be cautioned/temp banned from certain forums/the whole forum etc

Well, forum management might want to consider writing that within the rules somewhere then

It saves having to deal with people who jump on the high horse and think they're moderators.

I'd much rather have the rule in place cuz I couldn't bare with idiots doing that.

@Kardan; is there something about my reply you're unhappy with and would like me to clarify or have another look at?

I think the only bit that needs adding is a 'This part of the rule does not apply in the spam forum.'

I don't think it needs to be added. This is because the rule should still stand while in Spam. I don't think other forum users need to go telling other people when they have broken a rule.

Although, I will make sure that Moderators know that the rule should be relaxed in the Spam forums and should not be edited when it is clear you are just having some banter/being annoying and should only be edited when you're genuinely telling someone they're breaking the rules

So what comes out of this in terms of me and Aiden's mod warnings?
