And if the system were public you would then be able to call them out by name which can easily be misconstrued as personal attacks.
I think that the argument that "all users should see it because mods can see it" doesn't make any sense. The whole idea of mods (or elders for that matter) is that certain groups of people have additional powers and additional responsibilities (thanks Uncle Ben).

Of course I'm the mod you guys pick on. Who else?The thing that sticks out to me is that we haven't defined "abuse." There was a recent thread where one member who disagreed -1'd all the posts on that topic that weren't agreeing with him. (I could use a gender neutral pronoun, but this is the Redemption boards.) He never gave a solid reason for the -1's. Is this abuse? Is something like what Alex says abuse?

...she's going to school primarily online, and isn't even all that active to begin with. Kittens, were you even around when Open Discussion was created? Ah, those were the days...
Primarily online doesn't mean she'll have anymore time that if she was going to school on Campus. My online classes were the most time consuming by far. Between two classes I wrote 28 essays last semester for the online classes.
I laugh when people tell me online classes; I was cyber-schooled.
