If her posts warrant removal, they'll be removed with no further consequences for anyone else, just like anybody else's would be.
In this case, your thread title was inappropriate and was edited accordingly. Can we move on?
I'm not saying you're out to get 1061., She does serve up stuff for you to moderate on. You simply misapplied this because you can't escape your literalism. Literalism doesn't allow for irony.

I'm not going to argue with you about this any more, but I just want to say that I think your accusation is unfair and incorrect. I do have a good ear for irony, context and nuance, I think, and if anything I think you're taking too much of a binary view of it.
But at the end of the day, you have to take the moderators you get; all I can give you is my promise that I'm going to continue to try my best to moderate fairly and in accordance with the rules.

I get a bit fed up with your anti fat shaming crusade bleeding into your moderating. It just makes me want to try and slide as many fat chick jokes or comments past you as I possibly can.
Being fat doesn't make you a protected person, and being fat is in almost all cases under the control of the fat person.
If you want to continue this devouring and defecating of free speech then I expect every Balmy bread roll joke from the last decade to be found and deleted.

Really? I'd disagree vociferously with you on that, but this is hardly the thread to do so. Perhaps we can save it for another time.
The free speech rules on Nick's are both liberal and bounded. You can express any political opinion and say whatever you like so long as you don't spam, troll, gratuitously post off-topic, use inappropriate language, profess your love for Carlton, vilify people or abuse or bully others. Those are the rules of this forum, and enforcing them is not defecating on free speech. If you want an unmoderated forum, I'm sure there are plenty out there in the cybersphere.
As for trying to slide stuff past the mods, I'd advise against it. I have pretty sharp 'ears', and there's a bit of an expectation here that you respect direct requests by moderators.

The life of being a mod. Not easy, particularly when you are active on a board and you see the posts before the other mods do. You become an easy target for criticism.
Haven't read the original thread and I probably won't bother after reading this thread. Anyone that feels the need to rip into other people because they are overweight needs to get a life.
Most people appreciate your efforts as a moderator David. I certainly do and hope you can remain as one on this forum.
However constructive feedback can be helpful when necessary and if you can come across as fair and flexible towards posters more posters will approach you more confidently about different issues and concerns that may arise in the future on this forum.
I think it's great we have a platform here where people can voice their praises and concerns about the moderation of this forum and provide helpful and constructive feedback as to how to make the forum a better experience for users.
