Here is a perfect example of what I think is objectionable:-
https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,405959.0.htmlSo let me infer how you're 'illegally moderating' threads here according to
your rules over
this forum's rules:
A selective coordinated mass report from the Five Stooges citing - in this case - the pseudo-conservative narrative implying anything other than promoting the burning of fossil fuels as pseduo-liberal political. That would exploit the rather flexibly-enforced rules here quite nicely. Plus it's plausibly-deniable because your coordination can be trivially carried out via other conduits. You can continue to claim you are 'merely following the rules' and, threads you like to promote do not enjoy this kind of attack from other, rule-biding AH forum members. Thus the AH forum can be steadily transformed into some closer representation of a Flame Warriors (ha ha ha) thingie, whatever, while someone else pays the electicity bill. Yes I see the most likely explanation now. I presume that's what you meant by "not inviting anyone to troll the AH forum. Shaping up nicely in your vision of clean fun and friendliness isn't it.
Although to be fair, you, -gg-, did explicitly break the rules in that thread. Within hours of stating everyone has to follow the rules. That rather makes you a two-faced liar. And you can't mass report me either without drawing attention to your activities. It'd be a simple case of tracking the selective reporting via automatic server logs wouldn't it. Is that why the other Stooges were uncharacteristically quiet in this thread after an initial 'coming out swinging'. Rather tips your hand.
Well it looks rather likely you'll continue to get away with your 'illegal moderation' and forum-shaping with this technique.
Well right up to the point that Dale actually bothers to drop by, reads my inference here and checks the logs. Then it's dance on your PNG tombstones for some of us. Don't worry. I'm patient and cunning. I'll wait...
Loves me a good fight I do. Live for it. Fuedin'. Especially with people who pick on my friends. Fatty*.
