Mods can also comment in locked threads and can go over the 500 posts when they comment. I was thinking the mod would comment. Saying they will decide when topic ends or something like that to other mod. But I am guessing they went the unlocking it and modding the other mod.

This is the first time I ever really seen a mod lock another mods topic like that in my time on this site. Wonder if that mod will lose their mod powers over it.

Now I'm pissed off, if I had made the topic, and I made a similar topic a few months ago, it would have stayed modded/deleted. Fuck this I'm so mad raaaage against the machinations !

The mod commented (it's the deleted post).

Though the way that they showed up is probably pretty funny and tragic: I suspect that a butt-destroyed chud marked the topic and a mod who has no clue WTF CE is acted like the topic was something on a normal board.

Yea that was weird. Mods have (M) next to their name. To not only lock it but to leave that message for the TC who happened to be a mod. If it was a regular user that happens but to do that to a mod was interesting.

Really huh. I got the impression that the mod didn't know that it was another mod that created the topic and thought it was just a normal poster, so in typical basement dwelling fashion of letting a little bit of (non)power go to their head, they decided to lock the topic while getting that last word in because you gotta get that last snarky word in it's part of the little joy they have.

The message could have been directed at AssultTank or just frustration at everyone.

It was something like "This topic has gone on long enough."

The marked post was probably in a later page that Assault didn't post in and the mod didn't check the TC (or just assumed that the topic had gotten out of hand if they did). And the message was just something along the lines of "This has gone on long enough", not really something directed at anyone in particular.

And yeah, the whole thing is weird.

I agree (see the post that this is being edited onto). Well, minus the power trippy bit. I can potentially see that being the case, but then I would have to assume the mod is a chud as well as no normal person would really get exactly power-trippy in that sort of topic without disliking the premise.

mods dont care about context when taking action, so its unlikely they read anything at all to get frustrated over

It reminds me of that meme joke about cops arresting other cops, I can't find it but it was posted in one of the meme topics and was pretty hilarious.

Is it mod abuse if the abuse is done to another mod?

Well if the following is true...

...mod abuse is mod abuse I guess

The new mod who originally posted #491 and closed it seems fine. Probably just a talk between unlocking-mod and them.

7403 karma 89 amp. Not very active here I guess. Considering gamefaqs stops purging amp from CE posts; that's lower amp than most posters here.

I've been warned(-3kl) in the past for saying mods talk to each other.

I was there when things went down and it was obvious that it involved >1 mods. If they want to warn me for stating fact, well, be my guest I guess.
