Triton, you make me sad. One of your own vandalizes Palmer's sig, then you complain that he 'drags it out in the open' AKA tells people and asks for an apology. Then you ask him to completely drop the subject altogether and never find out who vandalized his sig and never get an apology. You really are disappointing me, and I know my opinion probably doesn't matter much to a big modgod, but, that's the point. You're a mod, you're supposed to help problems get solved, not try and bury them.
What this says to me is "BAWW, SO WHAT IF ONE OF OUR MODS IS SECRETLY VIOLATING THE RULES AND NOT GETTING CAUGHT? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THE STAFF TO DO ABOUT IT?" :roll:
I would be more than happy to tell everybody who did it and demand that they appologize, If i knew who it was! but the ONLY person who knows, to the best of my knowledge, is the person who DID IT, and they obviously arent going to come out and appologize for it so whats the point in crying about it on the forum? whats done is done, get over it and move on. and as to the "dragging it out in the open" I have always personally prefered to handle matters of personal slight privately and discretely, rather than cause drama.

Your opinion should matter to him. After all, moderators are supposed to listen to people.

we DO listen to people, that doesn't mean we have to do what they say.

Once again Triton, :facepalm: . You are still trying to bury it. Any chance you had anything to do with it? If I was Palmer I'd be doing the exact same thing. And if the mod who did it had a pair he'd be spilling his guts right now.

I had nothing to do with it, and i am not trying to bury anything, im just the sort who would rather just drop something than make a big deal out of it, the fact that it happened is unfortunate but there is literally NOTHING that ANYBODY can do about it, other than complain. there is no way to prove who did it, no way to prove that pamler didnt do it himself even! not saying that he did. Its a problem with no solution, the 2 possible outcomes are:
A.) The person fesses up and we can all move on.
or
B.) NOTHING

which one is more likely?

The whole effing point of Palmer demanding for the mod to fess up is to make it more likely for 'Option A' to happen! :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

For when two- no, three, facepalms is not enough.

Do people who tend to do bad things USUALLY confess their wrongdoings?

Often yes, if they are good people. I guess the mod who did this is a bad person. Siggggghhhhh... And I used to think the whole modding team here was perfect.

Well, my view has changed. And I specifically said, 'everybody should say sorry.'

@palmertech

How did an admin change your signature? I want exact details (what the signature was before, and after).

Instead of talking about this all the time, people should have worked on portables. We'd have quite a few portables finished. :P
