Violent moderation leads to people being annoyed, some questions, more moderation; a minor outrage, bans;amajor outrage spilling to social media, nuclear wipes. Damaged community, sometimes even dead community. If you see a flamebait post, you delete it. But if you see a question about where the original post go, and you delete it: then you just started a toxic flame war with your own hands. And "guidelines" never help. When people are outraged they would not observe same rules they supported a day before. Sorry, not going to happen, so don't blame flame war on public.
