Common courtesy would suggest that one should not call themselves a moderator if they are not such. If the mods need to put that rule in writing, then I guess we will soon see a "sticky" stating such. Impersonating a mod has been an offense that often results in the offender being banned for probably as long as message boards have been around. I can recall such since at least the mid 90s.

Tampa Turtle Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Oh this has turned for the ugly....one must try to remain scout like....I have remained a wee fat Turtle. Salmonella aside, I really don't hurt anyone. On a serious note using multiple personages or impersonation seems unsportsmanlike IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoutldr Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I second. Close this thread and take the moderator squabble off-line. We're not interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impersonating a mod has been an offense that often results in the offender being banned for probably as long as message boards have been around. I can recall such since at least the mid 90s. Common courtesy would dictate that if you are going to present something as a rule, it should be a rule, not a nebulous, unreferenced concept. And have it where anyone using the board can see it. Impersonation? That's a pretty strong accusation. If someone was using a false moderator "title" to persuade, dissuade, or otherwise influence others, that might amount to something. But thus far there is nothing to indicate that was the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tampa Turtle Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 NOW I get it! The Russians are hacking the Scouter.com forums to spread disunity and bring down the Boy Scouts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RememberSchiff Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 This topic is a relocation of the misuse of forum display name discussion, specifically calling yourself a Moderator when you are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
