That's where charges of favoritism come from. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Often times, it's not a clear line that's crossed. As I said, it's a snide comment here, an over-reaching statement there, and it's a fine line to walk between making draconian statements very ten posts like a peacock, and letting insults slide. When you're checking in on a conversation over the course of a work day, in an hour's time you leave a well-mannered, yet slightly edgy, thread and come back to a knock-down drag out that, taking proper time to fix, would take two hours to edit, ban, warn, and steer back to topic. Sometimes, closing the thread is the only practical solution to a sticky problem. If we catch someone outright getting nasty, they're temp-banned, pure and simple, and the repeat offenders get perma-banned.I'm about to start a policy of getting MUCH harsher on people insulting one another on WotC-related threads, even if it means I get the usual, "you mods are are playing favorites" comments all over again. I for one have a patience that's wearing thin with people skirting polite boundaries.Thanks to everyone letting me preach to the choir for a minute. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
