So, ok, if we all at least agree it's sensible and courteous for guests to adhere to a consistent mame,
either overall or per thread;

here's a constructive suggestion [maybe it's already happening???]:

we don't need to know the identity of mods [unless they choose to 'out' themselves],
but how about mods choose a consistent individual coloured print for their comments in threads ?

[That is a fairly reasonable idea]

ie. Colour coded mods - that'd be equally fair.
We'd soon get to recognize each of their individual strengths, quirks, and foibles..

It'd work a treat - eg. "Oh ****, purple* mods on duty - now we're in for a spanking !!!"

Seriously, more comments & communication from mods explaining actions which might be seen as unfair & antagonistic,
adding petrol to the flames of an already overheated thread, would be apreciated.

eg " 2 posts deleted due to gratuitous vicious insults - guest CL!NT WESTWOOD - you may resubmit your post
if you edit out references to shoving something large and spikey where it would cause injury and much pain - thank you.
Have a nice day"

See. give and take, it can work both ways to keep this community ticking over nicely....

How about we try this: you stop fighting among yourselves and then kvetching when one of the mudelves deletes the nonsense. No other action is necessary. --mudelf
