There is a user who is under pretty hefty restrictions right now, but nobody but that user knows about it because all of our communication on the matter has been through PM. This is our preferred way of dealing with things, as it is the one that gives us the most bang for the buck in terms of the improved behavior vs. drama ratio.

If you fucked up and broke a rule, but intended to avoid doing so in the future, would you want it broadcasted to the entire forum?

— How come I never see ____x____ suffer any action from the moderators?

— How do you know what the moderators have told him in private or what forum restrictions he is or was subject to?

— Well, it's obviously not as severe as what they told or did to ____y____ in the past.

— And how do you know what the moderators told that person in private or what forum restrictions he is or was subject to?

— Well, it's obviously more severe than whatever they may or may not be telling or doing to ____x____.

I will agree that it's pretty rude to think the other party is subhuman, just because it's often made up of kobolds or orcs or something like that. Besides, humans aren't as great as they think they are because they get a +1 to everything.

I'm on the other end of the pendulum, albeit I'm not a member of any party: I see those I disagree with the most being all too human.

I think everyone sucks, and it's not a political thing. I'm just introverted.

Not that this needs validation, but having been through this (when I was new to the forum and much less mature, FWIW), it did force me to think twice before posting and contributed to higher post quality.
