Can we complain about mods, or maybe get one replaced?
Malenko:
Hes been a mod for a while (5 1/2 months) , he should know better by now. He hasn't improved, in fact he's getting worse. I have little faith that this thread will change anything.
The most civil thing I believe , would for him to just stay the ---fudgesicle--- away from me. I will continue to call him on his ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

There are serious concerns in this thread that deserve serious answers.
It would be nice if one of the other mods could clear out the off-topic/troublesome material.
I'd do it but when this topic was posted, I asked the other mods for feedback and notified them that I would recuse myself from mod activities (other than dealing with spammers) until this matter is settled.

Let me just propose an gentleman's agreement here. No apologies owed on either side, but Mal, Neph and Scott, how about you all agree to turn the page on this and just handle things differently going forward. Scott, if you need to moderate Mal or Neph, simply do your edit to their post without any public commentary. Then, do a PM to that them and show the original post in quotes, then cite the rule violation as documentation. No other comments on the PM. Malenko and Neph, just agree to keep things cool as long as things are fair. If there is still an issue, it can be addressed at a later point when there is going to be a full documentation trail of what posts looked like before and after.

Excellent suggestion on the documentation. :cheers:
The only issue I have with your proposal is that it leaves Malenko's claim in the OP about PM'd ban-threats unresolved.
All I ask in this matter is a simple statement that either:
1. It never happened or
2. If he thinks that it did happen, the relevant text.
To leave this question unanswered leaves the shadow of doubt that I am guilty of both trying to bully him and lying about it now.
This just in:

Close enough. Thank you for clearing that up.
I'm willing to follow Vigo's plan.

Normally I wouldn't give a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, but the ban threat was uncalled for. Just send my ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- to PH if it's too abrasive.

Yeah, I have to agree. When I read that thinly veiled ban threat in the Spectralite thread, I thought it was out of line. it was a conversation between Randy and Neph, and the mod inadvertently made himself a part of it (and took a side) by doing what he did.

--- Quote from: PL1 on February 07, 2015, 04:39:32 pm ---My post was intended as a "Dude, what are you doing? Cut it out." nudge rather than a serious ban threat.
--- End quote ---
That line in the Spectalite thread was never intended as a ban threat, but in retrospect, I understand why it is viewed that way.
That unwise joke on my part is the only thing in all my posts and PMs that can be even remotely construed as being a ban threat.
I have already admitted that posting it was a major screw-up on my part.
One way or another, it won't happen again.
Scott
Malenko:
there's one way to guarantee it never happens again - :police:
to recap your last post, You say "this just in" to an hour old post, then C/P something out of context leaving off the part where you're guilty of "jokingly" threatening to ban someone.
I can see this thread has really gotten you to clean up your act! kudos!

After reading your ban threat (let's call it what it is) originally, I asked another member how he had interpreted it, as I wanted to make sure I was reading it right. Reading it over a couple of times, I could see it meaning one of two things: a ban threat, or deleting my posts. The other member also interpreted it as a ban threat. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I thought I should get it straight out of the horse's mouth and sent you the following PM (since you've magically lost your copy):

No reply... until you started catching heat. I don't subscribe to ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---.
