Moderator's conduct.
Moderators should set a good example. They should respect everyone and not get into insulting the Members of AI.

Is that really necessary? A Moderator is the authority of the boards, as such he/she sets the tone of these boards.

Would you want to be a moderator?
The amount of shite they have to put up with - the nagging and moaning, and then you go into AO!
The posting guidelines are quite clear. If people don't take the time to read them, well tough, they deserve a "flame". I personally haven't read them, but have been put in my place a few times, and I accept that. If I chose not to read them, then I must accept the consequences of my actions.
People think it is such a privilege to be a moderator. It loses its appeal very quickly, especially in the toxic mess that this forum can denegrate to.
So I say flame away and punish the "idiots" (which can on occassion be me). If I took things personally on these forums I would be a quivering mess (which, when I think about it, is not far from reality!)
lucky rabbit.
