// Andy, I don’t think you receive ‘ flack’ because you are a mod. I have respect for any mod who does not hide behind the curtains. //
Thank you anne - but I have to disagree.
I regularly get posts saying things along the lines of "As a Mod that is beneath you..." and "Do you think that's acceptable, to post that as a Moderator?", and let's not forget the age-old chestnut "How you became / stay as a Moderator is a mystery..."
As I always say in reply - I am an AB'er first and foremost, and I don't respond to threads as a Moderator, I only moderate as a Moderator, and my actions in that role are known only to myself and the Editorial Team.
Ninety-nine per cent of the posts I am accused of deleting I have not actually touched - but I am never going to spin a thread off course by getting into stupid pointless debates with people snarking about things that don't concern them.
