I dunno if we want to start holding mods to a higher posting standard,

You missed the point. The compliant was that the mods weren't being held to the SAME standards as other posters when it comes to non-modding posts. He has a valid point, whether the reds want to do anything about it is their call.

I dunno if we want to start holding mods to a higher posting standard, but it would be nice if someone handled the srs biz in ATF if I'm away or don't know the answer. I assume this PM is related to Mat's new ATF sticky.

I think one reason for the idea that "Mods gang up on users" in ATF is the don't criticize other mods rule. If a user criticizes a mod in ATF, it is basically against the rules to take the user's side. Since mods are a high percentage of posters in ATF, this can lead to a distorted view about the wisdom of a moderating decision.

Iron, I'm curious why you pm'd Kaj, a known troll, the contents of this thread in the mod forum? Or am I wrong and he is just misrepresenting that in his posts in ATF? If Mat wanted to make Kaj aware of what he had said and what others had said, wouldn't it have been more appropriate for him to have PM'd Kaj back, rather than you?

Yours in Confusion,

His post was accurate. The reason I PMed him was that I was hoping he would give 2+2 and the Politics forum another try. Kaj is not a troll, his posts in Politics and ATF at least (I don't read his contributions in other forums) are generally intelligent and respectful and I wanted him to resume posting.

Also, I felt he deserved to know what was happening, given that he apparently instigated some soul searching on Mat's part.

As for my blabbing what Mat posted, guilty as charged.

I'm just curious why you thought it would be more appropriate for you to pm him, rather than, say, telling Mat maybe he should. Don't you think it makes it look unprofessional that instead of an Admin responding to his concerns, it was merely another mod who was essentially just "leaking" him information? Is there a reason you didn't at the very least, post in the mod forum first asking what other mods and the admins thought of this before unilaterally deciding to do that?
