Tell us?? Tell us what language i used??? Your are full of _____ (go ahead and dock me a point). I didnt use any foul language. I just suggested that Miker do his job and monitor the people (trolls) with multiple identitys. I was reprimanded for giving one of the trolls a hard time, and when i called out the mod on it, he docked me a point.
I feel i have a lot to contribute to this forum. I feel i have contributed. If you dont agree, ban me, i could care less.
Ill be honest, i dont remember using any "language" that was offensive, so please remind me. If it was Ill apologize.

Insulting a moderator is treated exactly the same way insulting a regular member is. 1 point infraction for the first offence, 2 points for repeated violation. 2 points don't ban a poster - it's only a temporary (usually 5-10 days) limit to their posting priviledges. There is a long way to go before anyone gets banned from here but we do have some consistent posters sometimes...

Well you seem to have answered your own questions. You cannot call out or give a hard time to any member regardless of whether you think they are a troll or not. There are policies and procedures in place for those who abuse the forum- the person in question was dealt with in accordance to those policies and procedures. And as Markablue pointed out, insulting/calling out a MOD is equivalent to insulting any other member.
Members are not banned because they are not liked by the way, only when the abuse the system and don't follow the rules.
Sometimes I think some people have 2 names and log in under each and give themselves points. Really, some people have more points than posts (and are in the thousands.)
I've tried giving the same person repuation for two different posts without realizing that it was the same person, and I was told to spread reputation around first. So, even if they are giving themself reputation, it can't be that much. Plus, I'm sure the mods see IP addresses and would catch on eventually.

The reputation system is being checked on a weekly basis for the most time. We now have almost 80,000 registered users so it's bound to take time but those who abuse the system are being punished eventually.

So what then when a moderator makes an unprovoked snide and sacastic remark to a common poster huh ??. Or can a moderator whose feeling extra grumpy that day just say what ever they want ?? Is that the policy ??
Gimme a break..
BTW Mark...I'm speaking to you ..Not about you...I have another mod in mind...just to be clear

You can report such post, just as any other, by clicking this icon: next to the post in question. It will be reviewed by another moderator.
As I said, moderators here are also regular users. The have the same priviledges, though more responsibilities than others. And, believe it or not, they're also human beings...
BTW, if you consider the above remark snide or sarcastic, you can also report this post.
