As a former moderator of this forum back when Skipster was actually here (ya it was a few years ago) and one who actually actually answers technical questions, I find it offensive when you take a shot at someone then close a thread. If you chose to close it, than do so but leave out the cheap comment.

No one here has ever been more vocal than me against cheating and I have always promoted reading and studying (as have many others), but to abuse the powers of a moderator is inexcusable.

my two cents,

Yankee

Lexy had a solid point.
That Member was actually admitting downloading Braindumps, then turn around and accusing others to be cheaters.
I stand 100% behind Lexy's decision.
and that is my 2 cents, take them to the Bank or not.

how easily we can dismiss the actual point that was being made and turn this into an easy "you are for or against dump". The point was not whether or not b is bad... the point is the "have your say and close the thread"

either leave it open for them to counter and have a fun go at some flame war, or just close it and leave it at that.

the abuse of power come from the

"hahaha, I have the last say! bye"

imo, the preferred method for a mod is to not get into an argument, that is better left to guys like me who has nothing better to do and are free to get nasty...

just close the thread with a simple matter of fact note of why and leave it at that, mod shouldn't invite flame and then shut it down, they are there to put out flame started by others....

anyway, I don't even know what thread this is referring to nor care anymore...

the gimpest move tho by a mod was the editing of my post to appear that I am saying something contrary to my original statement and then closing the thread, which occur in one of the MS forum and we all known which gimp mod that.

ok, enuff with my useless rant

At the end of the day I have admitted using braindumps on two Microsoft exams, but I used these with additonal studies and actually found the explanations on these dumps quite useful...I have never just used Q&A's to pass ANY exams......i would not be earning the salary I am now and the position I hold if I just cheated......Lexy at the end of the day follows any post I type and when I offer helpful advice he jumps straight on the cheat wagon.......I don't care much for him being a moderator, says a lot about this site to be honest

I'm with Yankee and mikop. I think a tad bit a power abuse is going on, and that needs to stop.

Maybe he was preventing the flame war that was on the horizon. Nothing more was to come of it aside from more idiocy.

I think Lexy is doing a fine job as CCNA mod.

Thanks ruscorp and thanks deja-vue.

I did close the thread before it got out of hand, usually I edit the comments in each post (Just check the Oracle forum) but I was in a rush and decided to simply close the thread.

As for Spides and his comments, this is someone who lies about moderators sending links to cheat websites.

And as for:

If people like you don't care for me being a moderator then I take that as a compliment. It's because of you that moderators exist, ever though of that?

Sorry if I've offended you Spides, but I have no time for liars and hypocrites.

Thanks again to Deja and Russ for the support.
