Here's a suggestion: Don't allow shadow mods be in mod chat. Don't call them ex-mods, they're still modding. From the shadows.
I don't care if my topics are constantly derailed into a clique-pandering circlejerk, seemingly hypocritical(if one person does something then it's alright for anyone else to do it, apparently), or being locked for not being influential enough, this is wrong.
Regardless of your opinion on me or the current moderation of sandbox, please voice your opinion on this poll if you think shadow mods are okay.
