This thread has more heated argument than anything in the lounge at this moment.

I referenced myself and Lucan purely as we were acting as moderators and that is what we were discussing. I did not retroactively moderate the issue at all, I don't have any idea why you believe that I did. I accept that others were involved in the argument but I really cannot see what you are getting at here.

(not that I'm blaming you).

For example what I'm after is "how moderation works" as in a clear commitment that any post moderated would be accompanied by a PM to explain why moderation happened with the person whose post got moderated so that the mod is opening up the discourse and explaining their position so that people can learn from their mistakes (which hasn't always happened in the past) or get a better oppotunity to defend their post and explain why they thought it was appropriate which might prove enlightening for the moderator in future.
schaferwhat‽ wrote:Of course this brings up the issue of personal taste. Bod clearly whilst disagreeing with the post gave it the benefit of the doubt and didn't report it. Others report things that they feel stronger about but which may not be so bad. Will all things that get reported result in some degree of moderation action or will the moderator actually pass some sort of judgement and maybe decide that the report wasn't really justified and leave it alone? (Another thing that may be good to clarify in future with the mod guidelines whilst you're still drawing them up perhaps).

Would you prefer the mods to discuss the issue with the poster on the thread itself? Or just leave a note in the thread requesting the forumite to consider his terminology more carefully?
