I’d understand if they were a random user, but a mod should already have at least some understanding about a community’s topic.

But worse to me are their comments in that post calling the people responding “childish trolls in this community”. I do not think that this is appropriate for a moderator.

    I don’t mind moderators having their ideas or even ranting or even blowing off some steam in the thread they make/parecipate in.

    Their moderating job is to avoid the community being drowned in spam/scam etc. and as far as I can see there are few to no spam posts in [email protected]. In that particular thread they went wild but as far as I can see did not abuse their mod powers.

    tl;dr: judge the moderator as the moderator, and the user as a user. I didn’t particularly like that thread too, but from moderating POV, I haven’t yet seem something by haui I disagree with.
