Seems like there's a lot of drama about posters being pinked/banned, or getting angry with a decision and leaving.
I wonder if it would be more productive if there was a "rep" who could plead the case of a poster if they disagree with a mod decision. So instead of having two guys angrily messaging each other, you could have a calm third party to "middle man" the discussion. Maybe two cool heads could hammer out a deal where a punishment is reduced, or even overturned. Or the verdict could be upheld and the rep could better communicate where the mod is coming from. Nobody really wants to see posters leave, and maybe better communication could prevent that.
And this isn't an anti-mod thing. Personally, I think the mods do a hell of a job. The triple pinking of Sensoria was probably the best modding I've ever seen. Award winning moderation for sure.
