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

[Kardan]

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

Doesn't really matter because we can't get warned/infracted for it, so we could do it another 500 times and we'd still be fine.

So its a pointless rule in theory?

Pretty much, so is pointless posting as well, apparently you never get banned for that either.

This type of post is the exact reason why the rule is in place. It is pointless to post it and you can simply just report it as others did. There was no need for the reply here.

Not true. Excessive rule breaking of the pointless post rule would result in a ban or infraction

And the bolded part is why I think the rule seems a bit silly, the rule really isn't about people pretending to be moderators, it's about pointless posting.

So what would the infraction say for pointless posting, since I was told there isn't an infraction for pointless posting?

I don't think I said it was trying to be a moderator, but some people do take it to that extent, mainly trolls.

Well you can create custom infractions (Admin and above I think) for it or just a (temp) ban for persistent rule breaking, I think in most cases people get banned for this when they sign up just to troll and post pointlessly.

My point is, Zak's post, it's really more of a pointless post than anything, so seems strange that it's not warned for that - but in the end it doesn't matter, because neither of the rule breaks carry infractions.

And has anyone actually had a temp ban over pointless posting? And I mean a regular user, not a new account that comes on and spams loads of new threads everywhere like that idiot a few days back.

I don't know tbh.

A more fitting punishment, which is something I've always wanted it to be able to edit a pointless post and check a box so it take off the post count, but apparently it is not available

It's doable, just not worth the effort.

How much effort does it take?
