Why is having a mod on the ignore list against rules?

[LastPoet]

I liked TGAC, and his posts here didn't seem much worse in terms of personal attacks than I've seen elsewhere here. Is it that he attacked the boss?

Nope, he was banned for multiple personal attacks. In his case the tipping point was for that shamefull attack to A Theist, a member that hasn't been around for some time, after accusing others of things they didn't do. As to Tiberius, he is a big boy and can handle him on his own. Infact, he removed himself from voting in this matter. The decision was unanimous amongst the remainder of the staff, despite the fact that some of us like what he had to say in many subjects. It just didn't justify his continued forum rule breaks.

Also, I don't see Tj***pii (however he spells that) as being a worse flamer than others here. How is this sort of thing decided?

Look again, we deal with issues one at the time Esquilax already dealt with him/her.

It's something all the mods discuss and decide beforehand. In Tiploca's case, he came right out of the gate ranting and raving and breaking numerous rules, even after he was cautioned against doing so. There didn't seem much hope in that changing, and so I got my first swing of the banhammer.

I hope you cleaned the banhammer and left it ready to use
