> (discussing mod actions was against the rules) To be fair, I think that's a bad rule. Any type of government – even when it's something small like the modera

  To be fair, I think that's a bad rule. It's a bad rule, but necessary. If you allow people to argue about mod actions then it basically means any thread requiring mod actions now needs to be locked because then the topic would become arguments about moderation practices. Additionally, at least half the threads on every board become arguments about "Why was so-and-so banned?", "Why was this topic deleted?", "Why are the moderators so terrible?". If you edit/warn/ban 3 people in a thread, you would have 3+ (someone unrelated always has to butt in, or maybe someone uses both their main and alt accounts to complain) new threads arguing about why you are a terrible mod. I mean, we had no problems sharing information anyone requested it via personal message, within reason.
