call out threads

P&N

Are they allowed now if you only just hint at who you are calling out and then post it specifically a few posts into the thread?

RD "merged" a spin off callout thread into the original thread and suggested I post about it in here because he thinks I'm questioning the Moderation.

Well, I am to a point because I thought call out threads weren't allowed...

Since the thread has now been merged, I don't remember the exact title and summary of the call-out thread.

Neither the thread title nor the OP mentioned your name so it wasn't a call out thread. The threads were merged because they discussed the same topic.

Like I stated, he waited until a couple people posted before stating who he was calling out.

Anyone who looked at the link in his OP could see who he was calling out using "some people here".

So the rule is now if you are vague enough(not that this one was) it's OK to post who you were calling out a few posts into the thread?

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

It wasn't a call out in the literal sense so I couldn't lock it based on your allegations.That's the way I perceived it, another mod may see it differently.

:roll: Yeah, that's why I protested your troll... :roll:

Sorry, but this isn't about you junior, it just happens to be you who started the troll/ call out thread.

Go figure.... And you people wonder why I and many others have issues with some of you.
"perceived it"... exactly...

So again, it's ok to start troll/ call out threads if you don't don't post their name until 4-5 posts into the thread?

Who said we wonder why? Your history has been that you always question our judgment if you can't manipulate us into censoring those whom you disagree with.

If you have any more questions regarding this topic feel free to PM Derek.
