You don't think steering the discussion of your thread from "devs need to pay attention to common complaints" and onto "big meanie mod doesn't like me" is staying on topic? It wasn't you that initiated that second tangent, but you responded to and perpetuated it.So you think a derailment means any post you don't like to see? I'm curious that which of my posts in the thread would be considered as a "derailment", please show me. I was surprised and checked my posts in the thread to be sure one by one and I think I'm gonna have a fun time. Waiting for your response.
For the sake of transparency, the only person I have issued a warning to for anything related to this thread or discussion was NewBritish for ignoring a warning about making threads to pointlessly attack employees. By my own estimation, I make a terrible tyrant if I can't even crack down on criticism of myself!
Everyone is welcome to criticize forum moderation, and I personally think you should at any time you think a mod has overstepped their bounds, but doing it in whatever thread you want will inevitably kill discussion of the original topic in those threads. That's why this thread, which is clearly about dissatisfaction with mods, remains open but was moved to the correct section.
You're upset your thread was closed, but your thread stopped being about what it was made for on the first page, and by the second page it had switched again. This is indisputable, and it's honestly laughable that you tried to argue this because you yourself reported the first derailment. Now you are choosing not to view your subsequent posts with a critical eye to see how you participated in the same behavior you reported.
I am also a human being, not a robot, and I get to participate on the forum the same as you. I'm not compelled by any contract to play nice or keep my opinions to myself. I am expected to keep my behavior within the rules and, as a moderator, to keep others within them as well. If you choose to say something that is obviously false and ignorant of all evidence, including the content of the thread in which it is said, then expect to be called out for your nonsense.Very sad seeing as if I were to say those same words to someone else here, I would be in violation of the rules. Seems like there is a double standard. Mods should stop arguing with people they lord power over, that does more to create a "toxic ambiance" than anything we could ever do.
