Above all, a good moderator never discusses any conflict with a user directly in a thread. He or she should discuss the issue by sending an PM ("direct communication" as said above by Geir Isene), because it's not the aim to make someone look like a fool, nor to insult any user. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened recently.

A good moderator knows how to mitigate a conflict even without an automatic warning system, that's why we call him moderator at all (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/moderare).

AFAICS, this completely concurs with observations published elsewhere earlier. Though that lead to a one month vacation and three bonus points ...

As you wrote, this "forum needs some sort of rebalancing". It's out of balance since such kind posts remain accessible for primary school kids for months while simple but unwelcome nudges to think a bit were quickly censored and sanctioned or otherwise shut away.

Maybe, however, it's simply a matter of culture and education (as another member wrote recently). Alas, we lack a "court of cassation" here which suspends all verdicts the sentencing judge is effectively unable to convey to the convict within 48 hours.

P.S.: And the required math: 1805 / 30 / 208 = 1 / x . Solve for x using a slide rule in a single move.
