[QUOTE="DumbPaladin, post: 5520198, member: 90770"] To clarify, since you're misstating what I've actually said: I object to any moderating calling anyone "jerks" OR anything worse. It's unnecessary. The entirety of the REST of your statement? No problem at all with any of it. I also wouldn't have a problem with it if you publicly posted the names of users who had behaved inappropriately, or if you suggested that numerous people (named or unnamed) are facing some sort of disciplinary action. Public shaming is a perfectly valid method for handling people behaving ... like how many people on EN World behave. The namecalling is unnecessary and comes off as very petty, because it is poor behavior no matter who's doing it. Being a moderator doesn't make poor behavior seem any less poor -- if anything, it amplifies how bad it is, because you're in a position of authority and expected to know, and do, better. Hopefully that doesn't leave any questions as to what I'm saying. [/QUOTE]
