The mods don't have control over the ping list and I'll just hazard a guess that even if things had been done as you suggest, the reaction would have been the same because of who was doing the pinging. You would have accused him of pinging the after-birthers.
We all belong to ping lists. When one of us comes across something we feel should be pinged to the list, we ping our "ping leader" with a comment to ping the list. Every mod should know how it's done. And if they don't, they shouldn't be a mod.
That's exactly what Admin Moderator did. You're the ones who assigned some anterior motive to the ping.
Ignore list:
* pissant
* Solton
* Huck
* HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath
* Kevmo
* arturo
* redgirlinabluestate
* Plutarch
Explain please???
