Beyond that, if I've been away for a week or two, come back and check my subscribed threads and find 4 threads (which are old at that point) that I want to post a relevant reply in, am I going to get banned?

A relevant reply will never get you banned period.
1. This isn't a new rule. We've recently determined that it has become a problem for 3 or 4 people and issued a warning that we intend to enforce it.
2. You're not a problem in this regard. Just do what you do. There are probably a half a dozen people out of 10,000 for whom this is going to be any kind of adjustment or mental challenge.

First time long time. I have a question for you sir....Why are you mod ? What do you get out of it? I`m a mod for car forum, and to be honest, I don't know half the rules and don't care either. I let posters do what they want as long as its not spamming or racist...basically what I`m trying to get at is you appear to be much, much ....MUCH more hard line than most mods I`ve come across.
Did something happen to you as a child or adult that made you seek out the mod position to gain some sort of control ? Serious question. Do you enjoy having the power of Mod and being able to make people behave how you see fit ? That sounds pretty damn un American to me..and border line Communist........ I will listen off air

I don't really think your questions are all that serious considering the editorializing along the way but I'll humor you anyway since my wife is watching Law and Order and I'm disinterested in the show.
1. I'm a mod because I'm passionate about this site; past, current, and future.
2. I'm not an incredibly important person but I have enough power in real life that the power I have here is completely laughable.
3. Do I enjoy having the power? Not in particular. I'd much rather just hang out and talk about stupid crap with you or any other person than ban somebody or enforce some silly rule.
4. In any organization there is somebody that needs to enforce some semblance of order or else chaos ensues. I've seen enough forums crumble over the years that I know the chaos thing does not bode well for the longterm viability of a forum. We're trying to maintain a balance between being the wild west and civil enough to be enjoyable to a large majority of Chiefs fans.

Now I have a couple of questions for you. Did something happen to you as a child that makes it difficult to interact respectfully with a person of authority?

Do you think that since you're a mod at another site that maybe you should learn the rules there?

Mod...you're doing it wrong. You can take it how you want to take it , but you're the type of mod a site doesn't need. You can ban me for saying it, but its the truth. The fact that you put that much thought into your answer proves it. You're like that bouncer who overacts to everything..pretty soon, the patrons dont want to deal with him and go find another spot to hang out in.

Isn't about time for you to call someone a 'racist' you troll? If Phobia is an old man with nothing better to do (as you claim) what does that make you besides a hypocrite?

I'll give you time to think...
