Does he/she have a sense of humor?

A common flaw of the old mods, like my experience with Cornflake, is they appear to try and appease anyone complaining without finding a rule violation.
I believe Cornflake was attending college, so I mistook his actions as a busy college student.
"Oh he's so busy, he doesn't have time to figure out if a rule was violated".
Another flaw of the old mods, like my experience with Cornflake, is they don't always send you a PM that something was wrong.
They will delete or move your posts based on a complaint (not a rule violation) and not even tell you.

I thought he was, and (apparently) so did Alex.With recent topics about how this site is "bleeding members", it's probably good to have an honest discussion and not get defensive like you appear to be doing by speaking for another person.

My experience on this site is that mods can make anonymous changes to your posts.
Can you see how members might get very angry with anonymous mod changes to their content, and no clear explanation as to what they did wrong?

This is a concern of mine.
If someone's post has been edited, it *should* be noted as such.
If the edit has *added* something, (not that I can ever remember this happening), this would corrupt what the original poster, errr, posted, and is forever and a day on the internet.
So, to be clear, do mods/admins ever *change* the content of a post?
Or is it simply a deletion?
Regardless, it should be noted if a post has been edited.
If not, a "gaslighting" type situation may arise, causing doubt in the minds of vulnerable people who may have a tentative grasp on reality.

That sounds like good news.
He was the first mod whose acquaintance I met after joining in the summer of 2014. In a matter of months, there were cataclysmic developments on WP ( does that sound familiar?), and Cornflake, Tallyman and GGP Viper all resigned as moderators within a couple of weeks. I recall that Cornflake was as well known for his administrative skills as for his moderation.

If I were an admin, I would regard your propensity for 'good trouble' as an asset and would try to persuade you to be a mod.
