    When I modded politics I knew I wasn't doing my job right if I didn't get a least one PM a week calling me a Nazi :D

    pfft, I used to get about three a week calling me a fascist when I was modding Humanities :) Although not sure we even had PMs in those days of yore, might just have been called a fascist on-thread regularly.

    One day when I modded Conspiracy Theories I was accused by one poster of protecting conspiracy theorists and by another poster of not doing enough to protect conspiracy theorists.

    If I remember correctly once or twice people have buzzed at the door at our previous office where we shared with Daft & The Journal looking to come in to 'discuss' their ban or what someone was saying about them on the site. They were never allowed inside the front door though. Now that we are no longer in that building the staff there can tell them we are no longer there and we haven't publicised our new address yet so we're safe enough. For now!
    Hopefully it wasn't distressing or anything, but that is the funniest thing I've read today.

    Name and shame. Please!!

    I met a guy at a beers who I had recently banned. We had right craic over a few pints, very nice guy.

    At another beers, The Master took great delight in introducing me to a poster which had many issues with me. She turned out to be great too, after a 20 minute bollocking :p

    So, if anyone wants to meet me for pints and they are paying, I'm there :D
    They pay their own way to my town, and I will happily buy them a drink.

    In the Prison forum , have Moderators ever gotten a post to a thread from a stranger to the 'prisoner' ? Positive / Negative / Neutral post?

    I'm not sure that I understand your question. But for clarity - moderators are not permitted to post in Prison - only Admins & sitebanned posters.

    Thanks.

    Normal posters can't post in Prison & all posts there are pre-moderated, so even if someone slipped through the cracks their post would not be approved & displayed.

    Oh i know it was a once off long ago but didn't know he was given special access, I thought prison was the same as feedback where people could also post but where too afraid to in case the upper echelons swung the banhammer :D

    He was modded, aka Pigheaded.

    A number of users have asked that they be allowed to post in Prison so that they can help with the Prison process, ie: to tell them that they were banned for spam or shilling etc. But this isn't even feasible for Mods tbh, as there are a large number of reasons behind sitebans, and some that regular Mods wouldn't be privvy to, so it would just confuse matters if Mods and especially users had access.

    Plus it would be chaos..

    I suppose it would quickly descend into a he - said - she - said principal's office scenario.
