debosky: Y'all should modify your moderation tactics to keep this section ticking over

Don't be too quick to lock threads where fighting is going on - it is better to let the protagonists vent all their anger in one place than let them chase each other around NL starting fights everywhere.

Many of the so called fighters are in some shape or form attention seekers (even if they don't know it themselves). Locking the thread too quickly tells them they've been noticed and hence go elsewhere to wreak havoc.

As a now retired mod I've been where you guys are at now - quick to shutdown threads at the slightest angry word. It doesn't work in the end - you need to focus more on the trouble makers rather than locking threads quickly - warning messages work wonders and if such persons refuse to stop, banning them for a few hours usually does the trick.

I know there is a degree of discretion involved in moderating, and you guys shouldn't lose that. Just try to retain some flexibility in dealing with these issues and you'll do well.

Wish you mods all the best!
