One can indeed be both. Actions performed as a moderator are in accordance with the rules and governance of this site. As long as that is not interfered with, providing personal input on the BOI in a non-moderating fashion is completely permissible.

This thread illustrates nothing of the sort you claimed.

Are you speaking as a moderator, or a civilian, lol? Don't wanna ruffle Mr. Potts' feathers.

Had Robert not been a moderator while posting his opinion, what difference would it have made?

I disagree.

A moderator's OFFICIAL duties here are to enforce the rules. Nothing more, nothing less. Although, that being said, nearly all of the moderators this site has ever had, have most definitely put more into the job than I have asked of them. I am pretty sure most of you have no real idea how much effort they volunteer for your benefit, trying hard to protect you from scammers. Most of it completely behind the scenes. More than one has burned themselves out in the process, so I often have to ask them to pull back their efforts to keep from getting too OVER involved and their personal life suffering as a result.

That certainly does not mean that to be a moderator on this site, anyone so chosen has to give up their personal opinions about any issues they care to express publicly. All of the moderators are expressly allowed to freely post their personal opinions about anything they choose, even if such opinions are completely different and opposed to MY own personal opinions and/or what would be any official stance of this website.

I believe this is fair, and wouldn't have it any other way. The moderators here are valuable to me, so I am certainly not going to make efforts to restrict THEIR freedom to make the best of this site for their own PERSONAL benefit and interests.

When posts are made in a moderator status, we typically do our best to use blue text. just an FYI for all

I'm well aware of that. I was being facetious. Thought it was obvious.

Just out of curiosity, I took a quick look at your past posts. You are no stranger to red hot controversy, and you must have noticed well prior to this thread that the mods here have their own opinions.

I know you are, it seems others were not aware. Easiest to quote you since you asked the actual question even though you were not serious. (why I put FYI for all)

It will interesting to see if Ty's business will be effected long term. I also wonder if people will be less likely to do business with Michelle after this.

Yeah, the scammers won't want any part of her .... but why would you think the honest ones might not want her business ?

If I was breeding something she wanted she'd get an automatic discount for life for taking Parks down .

At very least people are now better informed. A low risk transaction versus a high risk transaction, a potential customer can now weigh their options. My recommendation is stay away from lotteries involving Ty like the plague though.
