I think the suggestion Jen made is very reasonable and I said as much.
I'm just not sure how that's going to work for moderators who have to heavily edit/delete many posts/threads every day, especially in the middle of the recruitment season. I think that'd be a tough place to moderate.
Perhaps there is some middle ground? I know that many of us have posted stickies at the top of their forums indicating what is and is not okay. If someone knowingly does something contra to what those stickies indicate is kosher, why does that person deserve an individualized explanation when there is already one in plain sight?

Sure, there are some posts/threads where no explanation is needed -- inappropriate discussion of ritual and offers of CHEAP NOKIA PHONES come to mind. But for the kind of things being talked about here, a simple explanation might have prevented a lot of heat. (Or, it might have made a mod think twice before overreacting to begin with.)

This language seems to indicate that the problem here is not with "heavy -handed moderation, but rather the moderation decision or decisions of maybe one person? Maybe two? There are 65ish moderators on Greekchat. If we only have a problem with a couple of them, are we just getting greedy now in demanding perfection?
