No forum is free from the wannabe mods. Goodness forbid someone asks a question that was answered in some other thread within the last ten years. Goodness forbid even more if you post a new thread of appreciation pics of a statue when pics of that statue were featured somewhere else...
Generally, I just ignore the pseudomodding too... However, when you just spent like 30 minutes taking and preparing pics to share with your forum buds and then some moomoo poopoos all over it with his "why didn't you post it here or there" or "don't you know how to use the search", you just wanna squash him... lol.
As mediocre a photog I am, I still like posting my pics dammit!
