Leave the moderating to the moderators, kids.

I saw but it's still too far. If it was seen as against the rules then surely a deleted post and subsequent comment would have been enough? A 15% warning is too far. I'm not really gonna go into this part of it any more since it's not really necessary. I'll just talk about the topic instead =]
I said that post because that's what I thought would happen. Sorry.As for the problems; well, that's still being discussed in the original topic... but surely the topic you quoted should be referenced (very good topic infact). I mean, there isn't really a problem with the act situation but the fact that it has been wanted to be brought up is fine, it's the particular approach that has been taken. A few comments here and there have been said which shouldn't have and have caused other reactions to take place.
An issue doesn't really need to be made of it. Meh.
Alex, you broke three rules in one post. Add to that the insensitivity of the comment in comparison to the topic, I'm not entirely sure how you can even remotely think you're in the right for making a comment like that.
Posts stating 'Oh, I'm sure this will get locked':1) Don't contribute to the topic and are therefore off-topic2) Are rather unnecessary moderator-like warnings3) Only make it more likely the topic descends into a flamewarAnd should therefore not be made. Trust the moderators, report if it gets too bad, and stay out of it beyond that.
I give it another page or two before this ends up getting locked. I can see people taking it too far. It's kinda standard thinking about it.It's a shame I guess because the idea for the topic is great but the execution has been done in the wrong way. Oh well.
But yours was one of them, and the only one that didn't offer anything to the topic. Do remember that you're not a moderator anymore, you cannot make a post like that anymore (you shouldn't have made a post like that if you was a moderator anyway but that's beside the point completely) and you've been warned for it.
Any breaking of these rules will result in edits of the posts, closing of topics, deleting of the posts, disabled signatures, warnings, or bans, depending on the severity of the offense. All of which can be discussed or in some cases appealled, but that's for then.
Actually, I was going to leave this until later, but.. Consider this a warning actually; we're trying to keep this topic as one full of discussion, not full of childish insults. You're really not helping yourself there.
