When should a Staff Member get a slap on the back of the head by someone in the community or one of his peers and told to suck it up and admit a wrongdoing so that things can calm down instead of escalate?
It's not uncommon to see personal issues develop to the point between a member and a Mod and see the Mod overstep his position and exert unreasonable censorship on a member under the guise of enforcing some guideline.

It's unfortunate that some communities fall in step behind their local dictator. Even more so when the workload of all his peers is increased as a result.
