I'm confused . . . I thought those sorts of decisions were not a one-person show . . . Yet s/he says, "I pulled it" . . .![]()
To clarify, reported posts show up in a special forum visible to all moderators. In some cases, the course of action required is obvious, and in other cases discussion among moderators is required to get a consensus for action. Once that consensus is formed, one moderator goes in and takes care of what needs to be done. In cases where the consensus action covers a large number of posts, the selected moderator will make any number of individual decisions.
A moderator who is participating in a forum cannot act as a moderator in that forum.
