[Sticks]

If anything, being a mod on the science forum where I am a moderator and posting in a thread when not moderating, I find I am more circumspect than in the past as I have to set an example to others and some mods also feel the same way.

Sometimes we may not like a thread, but to be consistant unless there is a legitimate reason we can not just close the thread. As for posting on a thread that may have been started by a troll or a spammer, if subsequent posts to the troll and the spammer are on topic and within the rules, where is the issue?

To create two sign in accounts seems pointless and unnecessary

Finaly if you have a problem with a post or wish to appeal against a moderation decision then you can report the post or PM another moderator or admin.
