You're being oversensitiveit's utterly tasteless, but in no way breaches the FAQs, and where can't we be tasteless if it isn't b3ta?

if it was made up I'd have no problem with itI just can't stomach pictures of genuine animal suffering
but that's just me, as I said I wasn't going to mod it, just expressing personal opinion. which I think is allowed.

Not really. As a mod, you're the equivalent of a referee at a sport-ball match.
You're supposed to judge goal yes or no, and not pass comment on the quality of the passing the pigs bladder during the build-up, nor whether or not the tabloid rumours about what the chap carried aforementioned bladder over the white line really did what they said he did to that farmyard animal. A member of the audience can say what they like, but as a mod/referee you can't.

I'm not just a modI'm here for the lols and to post stupid pictures myself.
There's no mod rulebook saying I must cease a normal b3ta life.
I'm just helping out with broken links, FPing stuff, removing spam and linking the odd NSFW image

This I understand, and it's true of mods on most boards on the internets. It's no fun if it's not fun.
Point is though that as a mod, like the guy on the sport-ball pitch with the whistle, your expressions of opinion are treated slightly differently from everyone else on the pitch. Because you have the whistle. With power comes responsibility, but not necessarily authority.
What you've said in this thread is that the content crosses your personal line, but not the board line. This is the last thing you should say as a mod, because as a mod you're here to enforce the board line, not your line. People here have now self-edited because of your expression of a personal opinion.
There are many things posted here many days that cross the lines of many of us, most of us say nothing. Some of us might argue about offensive stuff, but generally all we have is "ignore" privilege, "flounce" privilege, or otherwise being told that b3ta might not be the home-scene-apple-pie-custard website that mom meant when she sent us the link.
You know all of this already.

If people want to treat me differently that's up to them, I can't stop them, but they're wrong to do so.I'm not here "to enforce the board line", as I said I'm just helping out with broken links, FPing stuff, removing spam and linking the odd NSFW image (nudity/porn)
so my opinion of what is crossing a line is as irrelevant as it always was

No need to express it then, given that you're in charge of a shiny b3ta whistle.
How's Moggy/Dave getting on in the b3ta dungeons anyway?

Because you're a mod and I'm not.
If you scroll up it's pretty clear that your expression of your personal opinion has caused a scuttling self-edit by a regular. Just because you're a mod and you announced your personal opinion.
EDIT:
Please explain the meaning of this then:
"without wanting to go all Moggy on you, I think that's crossing the line :("

he edited that because another mod told someone off for using that image a while agoI can't be bothered to repeat myself any more
EDIT - that was a joke about her reaction to helicopter cat. As in, ranting for days and days about a picture that upset her.
What did you think it meant? errr, you didn't think that was saying I'd ban him did you? If so, you've reeeeeeally got the wrong end of the stick
