You can choose to ignore it, but one of the instigating factors for the whole THREAD was that W\_E wanted fellow-mod input on salvaging the questionable thread. And needed 24 hours because, _gasp_ the mods have lives and getting a number, especially on a holiday weekend was hard! To have more ‘pin-point’ moderation means we would need more mods, and considering how they’re treated, who would volunteer for the shiny jackboots when all they get is grief? I mean, personally, I think several posters would be more than _able_ to do the work, but all of them have repeatedly said they wouldn’t do it even if paid a living wage, much less for free. And even then, we’d be generating another metric ton of THESE threads, as each pin-point moderation spawned it’s own thread on how the mods don’t know the rules, or the rules are unfair, or well, wait, but my thread is _different_, and anyway these are new rules, or wait, maybe not but they weren’t enforced in the past so why are you enforcing it on me?! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seriously-this-thread-is-closed/974031)._
