I legitimately didn't know if there was a gay community on here who distributed edited avatars for their user base or if it was people just doing it themselves, like I said I find the fact that any user puts anything on their avatar in an attempt to feign a site based role is a terrible thing, if you walked into Tesco with a mock tesco manager name badge and started talking to customers wearing it you would be asked to remove it or leave, I don't understand the site allowing people to throw together mock up tags.

I thought about this.

That is hilarious but obviously annoying for the shop and the customers in there, but basically it's exactly what I'm trying to get at here, if you impersonate people who are doing a job / role then of course it will be confusing for people around you.

New users shouldn't have to consult you about a confusing tag you've amended to your avatar, there is nothing special about you to expect new people to come to you as a gatekeeper for an explanation of your tags, if everyone done that the place would be bedlam.
You have a tag which literally suggests you have been appointed by the site to have the role of someone who can break forum rule 9 (c+d) do you not see any possible issues with that? Think about it, a new user might see your tags and think that backseat moderation is something which can be rewarded with a tag for their avatar if they are good enough at doing it...
- Backseat Moderating in the forums will also be treated as spamming, as it will derail the topic and conversation of the thread. You are not a moderator, so if you do feel like a user is breaking the rules, report them and move on. Let the mod team handle moderation.
- Examples of backseat moderating include statements like "Reported." "You should be banned for that." "I give you a week tops." "I've been banned for less." and the like.
Dear lord do I understand the irony of this post, and for that I'm sorry!

My tags were given to me by administrators.

That makes it only more confusing then, as they aren't actual forum types or user types I mean. Meaning that someone who is an administrator has marked you as a bannable offense on the site and a Russian currency?
