Actually, SK, he DOES have a good point. You could always just make a new account to escape this -blam!-.
Also, the stuff about SJ is pretty true, too. He might not know me, but I get around, dawgz. I've even said before that the modesty is pretty lulzy.

It is not even that, it was I was mentioned when this feature was being brought up in this thread and that makes ME feel threatened as a user to think that people want to silence me on the forums.
I feel threatened and a little offended, I try to be a reasonable person, I like this site, I think of many people here as equals.Well, let's face it, the way you post annoys and degrades a lot of people's experience on this forum, and a nice simple flick of the switch to turn you off would be a welcome addition for quite a few of them.
Your experience being ruined, versus hundreds of people's experience being ruined every time they are on the community forum, it seems like a simple choice.
If the feature was available, and someone decided to block your posts, it would be because they don't like you and don't want to read what you are posting. You thinking that it is wrong that someone doesn't like you and would want to block your posts is a little arrogant, and is a perfect example of why your name is number one behind this feature.
If everyone blocks you and you can't contribute, maybe it is time to grow up, start fresh with a new account, and actually listen to some of the PMs that you get sent about your habits on the forum, instead of plugging your ears and singing "lalalala everyone loves me".

As I've said, I wouldn't turn down the position of Moderator; given my current life circumstances (pretty comfortable and stable, yo) I'm confident I would be able to manage the responsibility. That obviously doesn't mean that I'd either ever be approached, nor that anyone else would ask it of me. I may have stated I wouldn't be able to a couple years previously, but 'twas tougher times then in my personal life, plus I was still really childish.Wouldn't it be easier to simply say that you have been desperate for it for years, and are really hoping you are picked soon, so that you can say to yourself "it's about goddamn time", and proceed to go on the greatest power trip this forum has ever seen?
I mean, damn, it would save you a lot of typing, much quicker than this hilarious modesty business you are attempting.
I'm not saying you would be a bad moderator, I'm not saying you would be good, but your posts regarding the topic just make me cringe.
