I didn't remove them but there's a few reports against you there for off topic posts.
Do mods see a warning when they try to moderate WO, or do they need to remember that thread ID 178336 has special rules?
Well I don't recall ever seeing any before, but in the handled reports section I see they're marked as [WO] which I don't recall seeing before either and that thread isn't showing up in my
Show new replies to your posts either even though I'm pretty sure I must have posted it it at some point before. Maybe that thread is ignored to me or something.
Looking at the posts quoted earlier in the thread it looks like [WO] is part of the the post title that nullius created. Is that what you're seeing?
What I was getting at is if moderators don't get a warning AND the posts are re-titled (don't have "Wall Observer" in the title anymore) then it might contribute to the issue of them not realizing that special rules apply... OTOH if it was reported as "off-topic" then the moderator should have looked which thread it's in.
