I think this a key point. Almost the only thing I do as a mod is simply ask people to get less heated with no punitive action involved. Believe me, when there is any real action like a ban or locked thread, we all talk about it behind the scenes. I can't see anyone ever getting any that is a legitimate member of the forum (not a spammer) getting any kind of a ban here without mod discussion. And while a thread might get locked but a lone mod, it's not going to stay locked if they are the only person on staff that wants it locked.I would consider asking another mod to step in if I was involved in an argument, but I think the majority of the time, where moderation amounts to not much more than a warning to steer away from politics or chill out if a fight is getting too personal, it's a bit unecessary.
Obviously, it is invisible to all of you, but we do check in with each other a lot.
