When I'm dealing with an economy moderator, I feel it’s only fair that I weigh in while we wait for the supermod.
The user was basically playing doctor in the thread, so I stepped in to address that.
And honestly, I think my approach was pretty reasonable.
The guy didn't get a ban or even a formal warning; he just got a polite request to stop doing that. And he listened.
Of course, everything can be double-checked with this link.
Since I’m working with adults who can handle themselves, I don't think jumping straight to a strike is the only way to handle things.
If you want us to apply the exact same rules to mods, well, maybe 🙂
Since our supermod isn't available to moderate normally right now, the admins sat down with lili p. to make sure we stay consistent. We agreed that the mod whose post was flagged should face the same kind of response lili p. gave to the user for doing the same thing earlier.
Look, since the user only got a heads-up rather than a strike—and from what I can see, nobody else was actually complaining here—I don't see why we'd hand out a strike to a moderator for the same "online diagnosing" slip-up. To prevent any more confusion, we decided all mods should issue a warning against doing that, which is exactly what happened here.
I'll loop in lili p. and the supermod on this.
