Is It True That Mods Can Remove Their Own Posts?

[ladybirder]

I see a couple of ABers have referred to a mod removing his/her own posts. Is this allowed? And how would we know who had removed a post although I suppose it is highly unlikely one mod would remove the post of another mod. Just interested as if it's true it seems unfair to me. Any thoughts?

This is why I don't post as much as I used to, I'm obviously far too busy scrutinising Jordy's posts...

That was me being accused of that not you. I guess you can be part of the implication earlier by the same poster that we are liars though.
I get accused of a lot of spurious rubbish but like svejk I shrug it off and don't beg anyone to move posts or threads. I got accused by a poster that he spoke in a certain manner. This was the poster who proclaimed that he no longer read my posts, what I said was of no interest to him and he had no respect for me. I didn't cry about that for sure but later he had to beg my pardon because he "misunderstood" what I had written earlier regarding an explanation I was giving to another ABer. So the man lies .also

Now where have I put that destruct button with his name on it?

I knew it couldn't refer to me really Retro, whiter than white me.....

divebuddy,
Not at all. It was a worthy point to make.
Just noticed. Yes the avatar was removed for me without explanation. I wonder.....

Do you think that quotation applies to you?

it obviously applies to Mods, andy!

[andy-hughes]

OK!

Jordy, you are in no way obliged to use the site. If you don't like the rules and how they are implemented why not have a noodle around MumsNet and see if it suits you better......

During a discussion about mods a while ago I said it wasn’t unknown for some of them to abuse their powers (I didn’t mention it at the time but in a bit of a fractious thread in Chatterbank I’d seen a mod post an abusive message to another poster and immediately remove it). That led to a direct insult from the ‘power that is’ who accused me of making it up (I don’t tell lies) so I see no benefit in being advised to ‘contact the editor’ when past experience indicates that judgement is pre-formed - albeit injudiciously. In an attempt to help I used to report people advertising etc., but since then I haven’t reported anything. There are a couple of mods who are incredibly rude to other people on occasions, but it’s the ‘old boys club’, I know that, and I’m past caring.

I don't believe that mods are exempt from the same rules as everyone else.

I am as robust a debater as you will find on here, and apart from the carping of some people who don't appear to like what I post or the way I post it, I have received no official sanction whatsoever, so I would dispute your suggestion that there is an 'old boys network' in operation.

what bout us old girl mods naomi ;-) ?

I've said on a previous thread that I was a sarky begger before I become a mod, that hasn't changed since becoming one!We're all human, we're bound to make what others perceive as a cock up on the occasional thread, though I do have to admit being surprised that one was abusive.
