| Aug 1, 2009 at 2:05 | comment | added | Shog9 Staff | @annakata: moderators do actually have a few other tools... They can lock disputed posts 'till things cool down, they can merge questions (rather than leaving an argument over whether it's a duplicate or not to sit and brew), and they can instantly delete questions (drastic, but still an action against a question rather than a user). IMHO, these tools are almost always more appropriate than any punitive action against a specific user. | |
| Jul 8, 2009 at 19:24 | comment | added | bananakata | I have to say this isn't true (and with good reason). I had a problem, reported it and got the response "not bad enough to do anything about, sorry". Which is kind of true, because the only options available to the mods are the nuclear one (penalty box) and the zero-effect one, (do nothing). We need a middle ground option where abuse can be handled for you without also being handled for everyone. Kyle's point #6 in the question is a good reason for this too. | |
