In spite of his usual hyperbole, MC does have a valid point — the rules moderators are to enforce could do with being specified more precisely. As I've said before, a model like WP's ArbCom (where they give structured decisions, starting with the relevant principles, then the facts of the case, then the application of the principles to the facts, then the remedies) would do well. Of course, that kind of model can't be applied in a matter of urgency, but I'd suggest any individual moderator decision should just be temporary, pending review by some formal collective process. WP does this all, not perfectly, but reasonably well; why not RW copy WP?
