Sorry but the last time I checked there is only one set of Guidelines that govern the WHOLE board and all moderators should be on the same page as how they should be moderated.
No matter where that moderation should be...
Only thing that is different about the other areas is that in some of those areas the MEMBERS have less tolerance for the BullShit factor and are not afraid to voice that opinion.
and some of those moderators moderate instead of dictate...
In my opinion (yes I have an asshole too) MWs review should have been moved to the other reviews section and not coed (or the Staff Area)... just like the other reviews like it from other areas.
And just like the multiple reviews of the same nature... the review should be posted to his review count.
Just my opinion so carry on...

Different regions will have different views on subjects and there are various factors for this. The easy one to point to is cultural differences. The culture of Kansas City in general is different than that of Dallas or Houston for example. You said it yourself long ago Elam when discussing pictures within reviews. If I remember correctly you said "this isn't Dallas, stop trying to make it Dallas by putting pictures in reviews", or something to that affect. There is nothing within the guidelines that state this, but it was frowned upon within the community.
Different individual backgrounds view things differently, so some things will never be 100% the same across a site that spans the entire United States, parts of Canada, and even parts of Europe.
With that said, I have been extremely vocal in the past regarding threads being moved, closed, or removed completely, to the point of it being frowned upon due to being a member of the staff. I disagree with it a great deal, but I can't speak intelligently on a post I never saw.
