I’ve been here 12 years. In that time, I’ve only seen people moderated for discussing moderation if they persisted or had also violated another rule. I’m sure of it.

I’m not going to do an exhaustive search. But I can look for all mentions of “ATMB” by a mod made outside of ATMB itself.

The first relevant results I found was this one:

> [@The morality of draft avoidance/dodging during Vietnam](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-morality-of-draft-avoidance-dodging-during-vietnam/927194/142):
>
> **Modnote** : Any questions about mod action need to go to ATMB please.

That was to Paul\_in\_Saudi, who is not a new poster.

Here’s the relevant part of another post:

> [@The morality of draft avoidance/dodging during Vietnam](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-morality-of-draft-avoidance-dodging-during-vietnam/927194/142):
>

mordecaiM is not a new poster.

> [@Minnesota trial of Derek Chauvin (killer of George Floyd) reactions](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/minnesota-trial-of-derek-chauvin-killer-of-george-floyd-reactions/939024/344):

This was apparently to Mallard, who is not a new poster (been here since 2013).

These were the top three I found. Not a single one gives out a Warning. It seems your memory on this is faulty.

Note: do to how search is set up, I found it easier to pick a mod and a forum. So I chose @What_Exit, since his claim was specifically that he usually gave Warnings. I then looked at GD first, then IMHO. These were the top results that actually were relevant.
