#175 David T. Bilek +1, What He Said

Good moderation involves a fair, evenhanded application of a policy irrespective of either adversarial relationships OR sycophantic up-sucking. And this is especially true if the moderators actively insert themselves in the discussion, since the appearance of "I don't like what you have to say, so I'm going to turn your mic off" makes one look so bad.

If someone starts off as a spammer, troll, or flamer, he is a spammer, troll, or flamer forever and is liable to instant deletion/banning with no recourse and no appeal.

Given that moderators and submitters are likely to have personalities, the solution that works on news.admin.net-abuse.blocklisting is the exact opposite of this. Each post, regardless of who it's from, is examined in light of "does this fall within the charter or not?", removing any possibility of personal axe-grinding on the part of either mods or submitters.

...course, it occasionally means that the mods are charter-bound to approve the rare on-topic posts from folks who are otherwise complete snapperheads who should die in a fire, but that seems to be a small price to pay for a much stronger overall impression of fairness.

That�s the logic of an era in which there were decent Republicans. That era is over.

I disagree. See my Republican voter guide.
