Ignoring moderators

[Blackbird.]

Why is it not ok to ignore moderators because I often get "into it" with a certain moderator and so I can avoid certain confrontations in the future i'd like to ignore him. I can understand if that moderator were to give a warning or something of the such but he could always ask another moderator/administrator to foward it to me.

You can't ignore moderators because they are the "police" of the forum. If one of them asks you to stop posting something, or needs to contact you about something going on, ignoring is not and should not be an option for you (and asking them to "forward" something through someone else is crazy). Perhaps you can use the opportunity of "getting into it" with a moderator as a chance to practice restraint and self control.

Well I don't like being taunted of being banned all the darn time.

Then don't do anything to get you banned. Hey, take it from an expert. 👍

Bingo, just stay out of trouble, don't cause confrontations in the first place 👍

Practically everyday a single moderator keeps taunting me of getting banned and I just don't like it. I don't see why he can't accept that and just stop.

Well, if you are having problems with a moderator who you believe is doing a bad job, you need to come to me privately to discuss the issue.

I'm not going to make excuses for bad moderator behaviour, but I do want to mention that this goes both ways - we as moderators should not and do not ignore any members, either, no matter how much we may wish to.
