And to some extent, that’s fine. But on tother hand, that’s the whole prob with “junior modding.” Poster b thinks that Poster A has insulted them. Rather than call in a Moderator, Poster B tells Poster A that they’ve broken the rules and been rude. Then Poster A replies even harsher, the original wasn’t an insult, so stuff it. Then Poster B says “Was too” and accuses Poster A of being a jackass. Then Poster A responds in kind. The escalation means that, by the time the moderator does get involved, BOTH A and B have crossed the line, and both get reprimanded.
Frankly sometimes I’m surprised you don’t throw up your hands and say “screw it, you knuckleheads are on your own” and let the board completely melt down.
