I don't think you need to, or in fact should have, your personality amputated to be a mod. I'm an opinonated mare, and god help anyone that tries to change that, and being a mod won't make any difference to my opinion on matters. If you disagree with me I won't edit you out, but I won't comply with your opinion by default because I'm a mod and shouldnt argue. By the same merits, Tilda is allowed to have her own opinion on matters, and not necessarily agree with you all. Just because the opinion is stated by a mod, it doesn't mean it is law. There is a divide between opinion and moderation, and these should and will be kept seperate. We chose Tilda to mod because she is a player, and as such she is bound to have opinions on matters... If you don't want a mod to also be a player, where should we recruit from? Counter strike forums? Maths conventions? It makes sense that a mod should come from the player community.
And I think it is wrong that people are posting to provoke or test the mods. Surely that makes you as bad as the people who are a genuine nuisance, because we don't differentiate by motive. I think its a poor show. If you have any problems with moderation feel free to contact another mod, but you must bear in mind that we all mod all sections, so a post may have been deleted by any one of us, or indeed even by a supermod passing through.
Also, threads can be locked by the thread starter, and not necessarily by a mod.
Anyway, I think its very unfair that someone who has voluntered to help out the player community can get so flamed on occasion, must be very off putting for anyone who thinks about moderating in the future.
