I’ll just say that I think that the issues with viewing moderation as similar to law enforcement or legal proceedings have been discussed both amongst the moderators group and elsewhere. I think there’s a fair amount of understanding of the ways in which that can be problematic.
I’d describe the current approach as being more in line with trying to create resolution where possible, and encourage better behaviour and a better environment, rather than dispensing punishment. One can take issue with that of course, but I’ve found it a more productive strategy. Flagging and the forum tools are really helpful for managing this efficiently and quietly, so much so that I think most members might be quite surprised at how many disputes were resolved before they even started.
