Mods cannot be put on ignore. That is a power normal users do not have.
Posting aggressive bullshit and getting into beef with different posters on here is an abuse of that power. Not could be, not might be someday. Is. Now.
I do not want this power, nor do I want ignore to be eliminated as a feature of the site. Being unable to ignore mods simply means I am subject to all of their opinions whether I like them or not.
You have a platform NOBODY else here gets: guaranteed exposure to all eyeballs who view the thread your post is in.
Does this make any sense to you? It seems really obvious to me so I'm confused as to why you're all getting so defensive about it.
Mods also can't put others on ignore. That seems like a fair trade off.
I understand the feelings about Stren's posts.
I don't think the ignore function should be taken away.
As I mod I am subject to everyone's posts, opinions, thoughts, arguments, etc, whether I like them or not. Unlike me, you could just scroll by mods posts who you don't like.
But, I do get what you are saying truly.
I'm not getting defensive about it, but rather just espousing the amount of work a mod does and how that could be affected by having to use two monikers.
