idiosyncrasies
Very good points, there St. Mateo. . .
One of the things I like best about this board is that
most of the mods will take the time to put notes in brackets to explain or instruct as they take action on a given post. It helps clarify and explain, but more importantly it serves to help others better understand the rules and perhaps not make the same mistake. I hope more mods will continue to make this a regular practice. Sure it takes a bit of time, and can be tedious, but I think it may help offset needing to explain later when folks get their feathers ruffled, and maybe even save a repeated practice of the infraction. In my mind, if a mod goes to the trouble to take corrective action and explain it in the thread it should serve as a warning. If some nitwit repeats the same offense or mistake a few posts down, they should not expect mitigation.
