Hello All.
I would like to suggest that more neutral language, more "professional language" be utilized when moderators issue a warning.
There should be, a more formal tone coupled with general politeness, that should make it clear to readers that this is an official moderator response regardless of the color text used. Red text does not always show as red, especially if one has display settings set to augment ease of reading.
This is an example of a moderator response from today. I am posting this for illustrative purposes only. For the record I wholeheartedly approve of the intervention, and the message, yet I feel strongly that moderators should not use a Red Text Soap Box to make snarky comments and then claim they are unassailable because those comments are part of "official business".
The form of moderation comments matters, does the statement quoted bellow come across as professional?
"For the record, this statement is factually incorrect. Let’s try to keep the utter BS to a minimum.
EVERYONE." Dannyalcatraz
