[quote=@Ellri] so, because of the potential of one or two rotten apples in a barrel of five hundred, you feel the mods should be charged with every single change to RP participant changes on the RPs with restricted IC? How will they have time to deal with the actual moderator stuff if they have to check over all those things? And how can they possibly be expected to know when someone is abusing their role as GM from seeing such? Don't forget that the moderators are volunteers. They don't get paid for this. [/quote] I was going to make the point that [@LegendBegins] did. Either way, the moderators have work. The question is which method will require more work for the moderators--and I hold that allowing GMs to block people from posting in a roleplay is that method. For if a person is removed from a roleplay in a personal attack and the moderators are notified, they must look through the OOC to see if the victim really is a victim if said victim omits to include posts that prove their claim. It may be harder to figure out whether the expulsion was a personal attack or had valid reasons. However, if instead the GM must ask the moderators, they will of course have to provide a reason, which means that the moderators will (1) not need to check as rigorously and (2) already have the presented reasons in mind, so they don't have to guess.
