It takes time to get accustomed with applying the forum rules to moderation. Its not something that just comes naturally and I'm sure that if you were given a moderator position, you wouldn't have a smooth start.
i would ask for training. but i'm sure you got guides ect.
The point is, that all moderators (new and old) should have their work reviewed and any mistakes or errors pointed out to them; and then advice from an Admin or Super Mod stating what should of been done in the situation. This is exactly what happens and all moderators are constantly learning about how best to apply the forum rules.
I'm not going to say the moderator in question was wrong, I am merely trying to enlighten you that with every new job/task faced, people start slowly; as experience is gained, so to is ability.
Okay.
I'm sure that as your experience with people grows, you will also begin to understand how best to deal with a situation. For example, not making a complete scene of something as trivial of this, and openly discussing a particular member of staff in such a way that it leads all other readers to feel negatively towards him; when really, a simple PM to the (Assistant) Forum Manager would have sufficed. But of course you knew that.
i cant really, you see, i'm cautioned, but ye, i would have done that.
