Title: A bit ironic this.
Post by: Caellach Marellus on 06 Nov 2013, 14:47
Thread cleaned of flamebait, trolling and non content. Up your standards.

So while removing a thread for what Jek perceives to be flamebait/trolling/non content, it's entirely fine to add a smacktalk line of "Up your standards." at the end?

Also I question the necessity of such action, when even Ghost had responded to my comment (something that wasn't removed) and he hadn't deleted it. So all in all it seems rather overzealous, with a touch of "do as I say, not as I do" here.

Well the "up your standards" was valid commentary. Bunch of us sperged up with gasoline and matches, myself included.

So was the reference to a group known to bait with large numbers of WCS.

Just seems off to be moderating people for snide comments, accurate or no, before making one yourself, accurate or no.

Your post was a bit of a greyzone to me, wasn't technically wrong but probably toeing the line too much.

As per policy ( to my understanding ) my post should've been moved for responding to a moderated post. Jek?

I feel sometimes that the moderation forgets that rules also apply to some of them.

Sorted.
Botched a couple of attempts at splitting properly hence your post surviving.

/me uses this opportunity to snark at the moderators over perceived personal injustice.

It's our job to tell you you are doing it wrong in the specific realm of posting on Backstage, which Jek did. Even in reference to something else, though, I don't think 'up your standards' would rise to the level of problematic in many contexts.

No offense meant. It was meant as a playful jab. I'll remove my post.  :(

Some would be achieved at what Khanid women can achieve with a well placed cat.
