True, that is there in the context of "Diversity". It's a bit obscure, though, and certainly not enforced from what I can see. Admittedly, I dont see the posts mods delete, nor the warnings they issue. I do see a lot of clutter and bickering that doesnt get deleted, though.

The mods are great, don't get me wrong there, I just wish that folks would let them do their job. The quote you gave gives some good options for reporting posts privately. I have to believe if someone's intention were pure, they would be doing this instead of making public pointed comments that serve no useful purpose. I mean why on Earth would someone post "mods, lock this thread because _____" when they could simply hit the report post button? Craving attention, feeling important, being recognized, fishing for an invitation to become a mod, ... ? I dont know what the intent is, but I sure wish these sort of posts could be deleted as they occur.
