Being a moderator is a tough job. I do appreciate the work that you and the other moderators of this forum do on our behalf. I would not wish that job on my worst enemy.

But in the interest of trying to find an alternative solution, let me propose a couple of suggestions.

1. Moderate offensive posts. Moderators already do this anyway. If there's a post that off topic, or a personal attack, replace it with "Moderated due to personal attack" and remove the original content.

2. See if it's possible to turn off the PM system on individual users so that such attacks cannot be delivered via PM.

3. Explain to the offending user that these measures will be employed for a specific amount of time. If no moderation occurs in that timeframe, then loosen the reigns.

None of these really try to change the behavior of offending users. Or personally attacks them. Instead it just applies consequences for actions in such a way that continued poor behavior cannot reach the target while making it clear to the rest of the board that offensive/personal attacks will not be posted via the board.

I do not want the moderator job. So, please do not ask. But at least this is a potential end game that the rest of us can live with.

Hope this helps,

SFIAH
