Perhaps @engineer_comp_geek could confirm something. There was general consensus here that insta-Warnings were not warranted for a first inappropriate use of “retard”, and I just wanted to point out that (I think) this is not what we’re seeing here.
Here’s the full text of the post in question:
The term “retard” was not directed at @CairoCarol, but the first part of the post was. So I think what we’re seeing is a Note about first inappropriate use of “retard”, and the upgrade to Warning is for the first couple of sentences as an insult toward another poster. All of which looks like good moderation to me, that poster was really rude in that thread.
