And what rule is MC NOT following by thanking posts? She can thank whatever she wants, just as you can. Doesn't mean you or I agree with her choice, but it's just a button and not one that requires special mod powers to click.  | | | | | Theres no guarantee but people often have a reluctance to lie on the record, these things have a tendency to come back and bite you in the ass.
The rule about duplicate acconts. MC is thanking these posters, MC is not stupid and knows they are alts or else let her correct me here. So by thanking them she's giving tacit approval to alt accounts.

Sometimes I read ulterior posts that are in agreement (or at least not in disagreement, you never know how to put it) with their line of thought. Each to the own, innit...?

As for these alts you're so certain about, let me turn it around. Where is your evidence if you're so sure? Send it to me or another mod via PM.
If a member makes a post I think is good or funny or whatever I will click Thanks. If I later find out they're a dupe it doesn't mean I am endorsing the dupe - it simply means the person made a good point or amused me.  Sometimes I still click Thanks even if I don't agree with every line of the post.
You're making a lot of accusations and assumptions, and when either the newbie or the mod doesn't respond in a time frame you deem acceptable, it's apparently a big conspiracy. | The following 6 users would like to thank 3Wishes for this useful post: | |

It's such a pity you and roegner take all the blame (or at least this is my feeling). You shouldn't. Seriously.

Nope I won't spend my time constructing a case against the alts, I've already drawn attention to it, reported posts and pointed out the immediate familiarity they had with the forum and patters of speech, others have done the same. It's like you were driving past me and I shout 'your tyre's flat' and you shout back 'prove it' I'm just going to shrug and think 'your funeral.'

| | | | | Are you keeping statistics on who or what different mods are thanking?
If a mod gives continuous thanks to a bully for example, is the mod tacitly approving of the bullying?

| | Re: Why is nothing being done about Alts? | Quote: |  | | | Which means unless they post 'I am an alt of...' then nothing happens?
There's no need for an immediate ban, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask a probable alt to go on the record as it were that they are not. I think it very telling that my suggestion of that yesterday was met by silence from CodPeace and Full Circle. Is there really any doubt? comments like 'the EF woke brigade' are pretty convincing.
But instead we have MusicChick falling over herself to like everything the two of them Post? | | | | | Or maybe I've just glanced at the thread with mild amusement.
Anyway, it seems that the thread or complaint is less to do with me and more to do with a group of users (the famous EF woke brigade?) who have an issue with a 'certain mod'. And apparently which posts said mod have thanked? | The following 2 users would like to thank Full Circle for this useful post: | |

| | | | | You‘d have to be living under a rock not to notice the thanks given to certain ‘suspicious’ users and contentious posts and who they emanate from.
