Had to report a SW Mod for a rude and derailing post. LOL. Honeslty, the mods have some of the worst track record with posting behaviour.

My Dr. says no more than one serving of SW per week. So far, I've been feeling great lately.

LOL. I've been so busy that I've barely been on for a few days. Go back and immediately it gets all mean again for no reason.

One thing that I've decided to do, is to just start reporting the mods directly for being rude and unfriendly and reporting them for hijacking threads. Anytime they want to shut down or punish a vendor they just claim anything they don't like is a hiajck which guarantees that the thread will have to be a discussion about thread hijacking so they can all but guarantee that they can kill off any vendor that they want to punish for getting too much attention. So I'm just moving to a mute and report strategy.

Man, he posted that nonsense and it killed their posting. Went to zero after that. It's amazing how effective a meta hijack attack is at squashing activity. It makes everyone feel uncomfortable posting after that.

If it isn't here: https://community.spiceworks.com/people/kelly/subscribed I don't see it.

I went and deleted all of my posts in the thread. I'm over it, whatever.

Hey nice, someone else looked into what was posted and nuked the post from the mod that tried to do the meta hijack maneuver. Good to see.

@scottalanmiller Some mods can be overly protective of threads...

This wasn't protective, this was him trying to hide an attack on it. Don't know why he was trying to shit it downbut it's a very standard attack vector - derail a thread by forcing a meta conversation about hijacking. It's one of the most powerful tools to shut down organic discussion.

@scottalanmiller Oh no I meant, that they think is theirs basically...
