What is the atrl policy on avatars being offensive? There is one out there showing a pop star morphing into a rat. Is that allowed?
Also what is the policy on policing moderator behaviour? Are mods allowed to behave in a way that would get someone else a warning. Is it atrl policy to give mods a free pass for making posts that would be reportable as inciteful or flamebait, if they were made by a non-mod? I have seen such behaviour and want to know is that abuse of power or actually one of the perks of being a mod?
Does Taylor™ Count as a warnable nickname? I'm a Stan of hers and I'm using it light of all the bitterness towards her and her empire, but someone in Taylor base told me I shouldn't use it anymore and I just wanted to clarify. Any responses would appreciated
It wouldn't be warned for nicknames but it could fall under "disruptive group behavior" if it gets too annoying.

Yes, flamebait avatars are allowed.
Send a help request if you want to report problematic mod behavior.
Is there, or can there be, a system in place that would stop another member from harassing you via reports?
To clarify, Member A and Member B don't get along. So Member A stalks the posts of Member B reporting anything that's even a little off-color.
Do mods have a running list for users that habitually report the same member over and over again and if there is a way to track it, what is done about it? Is it handled like "touch luck kid" or do they have words with Member A to knock it off?
I once reported a troll who was hating on Katy 5 times in a day and I got a reminder telling me to stop reporting that user
This has been happening to me a lot lately, too. I'll be logged in, go to another page, get logged out, re-enter my username and password, click log in, and then after it says I've successfully been logged in and to wait for the site to redirect me, it's logged me back out. Sometimes this'll happen several times in a row.

Same.
Whenever I click on someone's sig, I get logged out.
If that post was flamebait/trolling/abrasive and you quote it with a smiley, or an exclamation mark or agree with it (basically co-signing or laughing) then it can be warned yes.
Okay thanks for letting me know. I didn't know posting a smiley could be warned either but at least I know for the future!
I won't anymore anyway
