Moderation is an art, not an exact science. And a very difficult art, at that. Which means that just occasionally one makes a judgement call, does the best one can in a situation and then looks back with the benefit of hindsight and thinks "You know, if I had that day over I'd do it slightly differently". That's the price we pay for being human. Don't beat yourself up, Tex, for making the best decisions you could in a situation you had no actual power over and no fellow mod around to discuss with. And that goes for all our mods who have on occasion to make difficult decisions in a forum with no formal posting or moderation guidelines (note: meego.com is creating guidelines before the crowds arrive for exactly this reason). There are no formal qualifications for the post of mod. What we need is people who care passionately about the community and want the very best for it. After that, the ability to stay calm under pressure, make judgement calls and defend why you made them, and consider that sometimes you might have done better are the qualities we need. In all these Tex excels. Personally, I think losing Tex from the mod team would be a tragedy for this place. But I admit to being biased. I suggested on twitter last night that we consign yesterday to the crack in the universe and unwrite it as it never really happened: I stand by that suggestion.
