(And here I am breaking the rules by posting in a thread I've moderated. )
That's not against the rules. You're asked not to moderate a thread you've already participated in, but you can participate after you've moderated. Of course once you participate, you can't moderate it further. Confused yet?

When contemplating whether to put on your mod hat or not, a little common sense applies. For example, a typo correction, duplicate post deletion or complying with some simple request from a user are all "moderating," but they don't disqualify you from participating.
When in doubt, either make a report or have someone else do the moderating, but when it's clear that the action is purely administrative and non-controversial, it ain't really moderation in the sense of the rule, and efficiency dictates just taking care of the problem on the spot without going through some big bureaucratic hassle...
For example, moving this thread out of the women's forum to the non-diving forum is a purely administrative fix and clearly not "moderation" for the purposes of the rule.
A move from Basic Scuba to Whine & Cheese, however, usually crosses the line and should be done through the "report" process by a non-participating mod.

Darn and here I saw that as our way of getting rid of CD
And Quero, I am sure you guys (staffers and Mods etc.) will have more to get used to and adjust to with the ne vBulleting than the users that complain so much. I would not "lose any sleep" over this. We are all learning the new system. As long as you don't accidently change my settings as an honest mistake
