The use of the PM function for issues is prefered if only because many complaints involve other Members/Moderators, and some of them, if made public would be....embarassing to the parties involved.
Each of your Mods and Administrators has a particular way of dealing with what issues come up, some use the public domain to allow the community to Police itself to an extent (such as myself) while others do not.But for the more sensative dealings a PM is prefered. While we do know the politics board is never going to be Nirvana, it is sometimes required that a bit of leverage is put into play in an attempt to help people fit within the guidelines and rules we try to enforce.
My recommendation, if anyone has issue with Moderation in this board, is to contact an Administrator through PM. Believe it or not....they will respond to both the PM, and the actions that promted it. Remember this place is a community, and we will do what is needed to help it evolve into something better.....much as this issue is in discussion right now.
