>Due process means people will game your policies.
And? If your policies are liable to being "gamed", then either your policies or your enforcement is insufficient. And I say this with a pretty good deal of forum moderation experience. When you find something that your objectively defined rules miss, you update your rules appropriately and continue on.
Life as a mod is about a million times easier, for both you and your users, when you minimize the amount of judgment calls on edge cases that have to be made.

No, life is much easier when rule 0 is "don't piss off the people running the show", and anyone who complains about mod actions gets instantly permabanned.
- Karunamon 7y agoI should have added "if you want happy users and not a e-fiefdom". I've been a part of many forums that moderate according to your description, and they're almost without exception, miserable places to be that could be so much better if the mods didn't let petty bureaucrat syndrome go to their heads.
