Would I be within the rules of the board?
Yes, but please keep in mind that if any of the post you screenshot end up being moved to the Spirit Prison forum then they'll become irrelevant.
Dr. Shades, your moderator Canpakes, is once again misusing red lettering, which is reserved for moderators, to engage in an open conflict with Whiskey in a thread.The thread I’m talking about is titled "Rethinking The AI Problem", it's in the Terrestrial.
Instead of addressing whiskey through a private message, Can'tpakes has chosen to confront whiskey publicly on the board. This choice has led to a derailment of the thread, as he spends the next four pages arguing with whiskey rather than engaging with the thread's intended topic.
He has used red lettering repeatedly to respond to whiskey, but once he was called out for it, he ceased using red lettering. Nevertheless, he continued the conversation as a regular board member, prolonging the dispute openly for his friends to enjoy watching him abuse his moderating powers.
Dr. Shades, I have never witnessed either you or Xeno displaying such immature behavior as Canpakes is permitted to exhibit openly on the board. Neither you nor Xeno would ever disrupt a discussion for several pages in an effort to impose a rule. Nearly all moderators possess the intelligence to recognize that breaking a rule is unnecessary to enforce a different rule. In this instance, Canpakes, the moderator, is derailing the thread merely to claim he is enforcing a rule.
It is clear that Canpakes doesn't give a shxx about your rules. If he did, he would have addressed Whiskey's behavior openly once, maybe twice openly on the board, should Whiskey have responded, it would have been Canpakes responsibility as a moderator to move the discussion to private messages, ensuring that neither he nor Whiskey disrupts the thread.
My question for you is, why is Canpake allowed to misuse the authority granted to him as a moderator? In this particular situation we are addressing, he could not have managed it any more poorly than he has. He decided to derail the thread to openly enforce a rule, aiming to provide his friends with a good laugh. He is clearly misusing the power you have entrusted to him, essentially showing blatant disrespect for you in front of everyone on the board.
