Thank you, magiciansampras, for your view. I'd like to clarify that it is not personally my stand that no one should ever talk about moderation, or even that there shouldn't be public discussion of specific moderator actions. On the contrary, I personally feel that some transparency and review of the process would be most refreshing. However, I don't wish to argue the merits of that personal view of mine here.

Here, my only point is that if mods/TB members/RP are serious about enforcing the policy against commenting on specific moderator actions (which they apparently are, given recent activity on the UA and MR forums), then Dovester's post should be deleted at once and Dovster should be reprimanded or suspended, just as other members have been in the past several days for doing the same thing the Dovster did. To do otherwise would be capricious selective enforcement. Sycophancy should be treated the same as constructive criticism. These days, that is post deletion and sometimes suspension.
