Anyone else getting nagged by the moderators here?

Yet another Mod2 entry...heard from him last night that one of my posts was trolling. When I responded that 1) maybe he should've read what I responded to, he ignored that, and 2) it fit no definition of trolling, he said it was really "inflaming"...not flaming, but "inflaming." Once again, would answer no question directly; just kept dancing around it and repeating himself with "use report and ignore." When I noted that ignore doesn't work correctly, no response. When I noted that some obvious troll posts I reported (several posters agreed), based on his advice, were still there after 4 days, his answer was "you have to give us time and don;t worry about other posters"...from the guy who advises everyone to report them.

The best was when he quoted himself (in quotations) from what he said was a "transcript" of our conversation, and the quote was completely different than what he actually said. I pointed this out to him several times, even posting his original quote. First he ignored it. When I pressed for a straight answer, I got, "Well it's a transcript, but I paraphrased myself."

And not to sound nitpicky, but Mod2 apparently has no idea of the difference between "to" and "too". Uses them interchangeably. One would think a mod would have a better grasp of English. But, admittedly, this is pretty minor.

What IS it with this guy?

Yea Mod2 likes warning people over any old shit. I got accused of posting a link to porn which was actually a link to a youtube vid about climate change. I pointed this out so he changed his mind and said the warning was for using the word "cunt" you would have thought if these cunts don't like naughty words they could block them words... even the most basic of free forums has the ability to censor words.

Can't be doing with heavily moderated forums... I got banned a few weeks ago for calling Americans fat.

Moderator 2 is a thoroughly loathsome creature who has abused whatever "power" he thinks he's gained from the start. He banned me a couple of months ago for ridiculous reasons for which I had to get Jim to intervene. Here is a response I made on the Halloween 3 board a few days ago after one of its regular contributors received a "troll" warning from the odious Moderator 2:

I'm willing to wager it was Moderator 2 who contacted you, He has already contacted me a couple of times. A recent time involved supposed "spamming" because I was making Fred: The Movie trend by providing questions or observations on that terrible film which, like Halloween 3, is a bad movie it can be amusing to study. Somebody posted about Moderator 2 recently on General Discussion. He is awful, and this site will never gather steam if people hear about excessive moderation and censoring of posts. The only reason I haven't left already is because the site conveys at least the illusion it is something like IMDb and contains most of the old posts from there, though I will probably eventually weary of any forum with heavy and unnecessary moderation.. I don't see any substantial growth in the site the past few months. I am, however, seeing quite a lot more dumb ads and clickbait, making the site look cheap and unprofessional. But my major concern has always been excessive moderation, supposedly to protect the online community against the troll bogeyman that some people on this site are so afraid of. Have these people who argue in favor of more moderation ever heard of the Ignore button? That's the best way to handle trolls, which is why I was never bothered by them on IMDb despite Col Needham's bullshit statement to the contrary.
