If you are having an issue that you want to bring to a mod's attention, you can start by PMing one of us. I'll see about making this info more prominent on the forum somewhere.
Ok. I'm still perplexed, though. Let's say that I was Fum, that Tabacco had closed a thread after a somewhat dry reply, and that I didn't like it (I'm not saying that's what happened, even though that's how I myself interpreted Fum's starting this thread, it's just an example). What should I do?
A. Nothing. (but that's probably not that good, as far as the overall "ambiance" is concerned, if people hold grudges against the power that be)
B. PM Tabacco. But I don't feel like I know him well enough for me to send him a mail saying that I'm not happy with what he did, plus, as far as I know, he's the ultimate forum authority, which is rather intimidating.
C. PM one of you three mods. But wouldn't it sound whiny, like "mom, the bad man yelled at me!!!"
D. Start a thread, which (in my opinion, of course) at least gives everyone the opportunity to express themselves, especially the people who feel concerned by this issue.
