Why does no one understand that a forum mod has no real affiliation with Bladeforums? There is no money being made by anyone having a company rep as a mod. There is no insider stuff that the forum mod is privy to. There is nothing about it that is wrong.
Except of course the neuroticism it is causing some.
I don't know, and can't speak for others, but if a guy who people knew was a possibly a scam artist who seems content to take peoples' money and send them poorly made shoddy work, them being a moderator on your site would be the LAST thing you wanted. Who knows how many negative comments on this guy's work he's used his mod powers to delete in his section?
