You are absolutely allowed to participate in the forum as a moderator but that doesnt give you the right to do whatever you want you are held to a certain set of standards as a moderator.
When you are posting anywhere in the forum you are wearing a staff tag and as such it should not be unreasonable to expect you to be professional.
When I step over the line I assume theymos is a big boy and will let me know. BTW what does my "attitude" have to do with my ability to clean up shit in P&S LOL.
I am voicing my opinion on the matter.
I am not referencing your "attitude" I am referencing your professionalism, or lack thereof towards other forum members you are supposed to have authority over when they post in your section, and that you have influence over everywhere.
The above does not directly affect your ability to "clean up shit" in your section, it reflects on the forum itself via your 'staff' tag, and calls into question your ability to handle issues in a mature/impartial way, including issues within your section.
