Quite frightening when said that way but you're uncomfortably right!

Then as a moderator, he (DJT) would do nothing except express his personal opinions in every thread possible.

I expect at least one new moderator to try to make a public case for banning his or her least-favorite member(s).

But how could a case be made unless one of the Rules has been broken? Isn't that what the Rules are for? If a Rule is broken, no case has to be made.

It's not going to be public :wink: - if it happens, that is.

How?  How about something like...

"Because I AM A MODERATOR...

... and I SAID SO!!"

BUHUWAHAHAHAHA!! :skull:

(... said by no current moderator, ever.)

Being that bans need to be made based around rules, it sounds like Fnord may have a premonition of a member (or members) who have been breaching them without penalty finally being caught up with...

I wonder if he has any potential "victims" he would care to share the name of with the rest of us, just so we can be aware of why they potentially go silent...

A person who publicly shared such a list (if such a list exists) might draw the attention of the new moderators...

... especially if any of the distinguished moderators' names were to appear on such a (non-existent) list.

How about a Mars Bar, would you both be happy? That's my favourite. Frozen and nibbled.

I publicly banned you as well as the entire mod team ( for 20 mins or so ) , it's not something I knew would stand. I doubt anyone else would be that stupid. I suggest you get an email off one of the mods if you fear you may be targeted.

Then again, "Those who have done nothing wrong have nothing to fear", so he probably doesn't need to worry about being targetted does he...

I would say no , potential moderators are vetted by mods and Alex so bias , conflict and past history is taken into consideration
