If the admins were correcting as often as the "community" has been of late,
I think it would be in such a way as to avoid the noise of our current
method. I don't mind the community action. What I *do* mind is the fallout
created when someone is corrected. Just look at this thread as one example.
I think you do have a valid concern about members taking on the
responsibility of corrective action without support and/or approval of the
admins. I see a zero tolerance policy developing by precedence. I feel that
the speed of the thread elevation (to lugnet.admin.*) is an indicator of
such a policy.

I think the tone with which a corrective action is written, sets the tone
for any replies.

So, does this mean that all of your posts including this sig need to be
confined to .market? Where's the line drawn?
