Look, moderators are human too @Captain24 . Despite there being an AI part to moderation, there is also a human part. As with all humans, there are those we are closer to than others, and there are those we get along with better than others - and that's totally okay. You take what works and you leave what doesn't.
For example, to be very honest, I find it very easy to talk to you. Others may see this as 'favouritism'. Yet looking at how I post, I connect with all members. And those that respond more often, I respond back more often. Does that even make sense? But yes, things like this can cause issues on the forums too.
The main thing is, each member is entitled to have adjustments made as part of their access to their forums. And yes, for some, we need to remove forum access for some time in order to ensure the community is kept safe. But with these members, other supports are in place that only that member knows of.
So yeah, this is some of the work we do in the background.
As for Ruby [dog], I think she's still okay. We are going to monitor her for 24-48 hours to see how she goes. Fingers crossed she vomited it all out. It was a lot of toxic meds there.
I don't know what the computer room looks like. I'll have a look tomorrow.
Oh, and when I travelled, I brought one pair of shoes and thongs.. Ruby chewed up my thongs, so now I only have 1 pair of shoes lol... I may go into the city to buy some shoes tomorrow... not what I was expecting....
I'm going to be off in about 15 minutes. Do you have any plans for tomorrow?
