Mods should not openly question other mods in other forums. If there is a disagreement on a decision a mod has made (like locking a thread or editing a post) it should be made here. I think most of us should agree on this.

I agree with this.

[Jim Kuhn]

I think the first step should be via a pm to the other mod. If there is still a disagreement it should be posted in this mod forum. Mod's should never call out other mod's in the public forums. I think Mat and Mike would agree with this approach.

Thank you,

Jim Kuhn

This is something I've always agreed with. I must admit that I have done this in one case, but that doesn't mean it was the right thing to do. Still, I do feel it is important to make the distinction between 'calling out' mods for actual decisions (or policies) and disagreeing about regular topics.

I'm honestly not sure about this being made some sort of rule, though. Mods should be able to act at least somewhat respectful to one another without any rule telling us to do so.

I have said this before. Let's make it a rule if that's what it takes. I assume there is a recent example? Please link me.

I think we're all agreed on this, but I'll add my agreement to the list, anyway.

And yes, I think this should be a "rule," not just implied.

Just to clarify, you're talking about disagreements regarding the buisness of moderation, right? You're not talking about poker strategy disagreements? I certianly hope not, since I think strategy threads in which mods disagree could become excellent threads, simply becasue the green names generate traffic.

I agree that disagreements regarding moderation should be kept behind closed doors, and that should be an expressed rule.

[MrWookie47]

Yeah, you got the right idea, Grunch, and I'm in the same camp. I fight with Greg all the time about poker in the forums, but anything mod related is PM, AIM, or here.

Yes. Strategic dissagreements are fair game of course.

I never understood this. Why can't we disagree in public? What are the downsides? Do you really think there will be civil unrest or some bs if someone locks a thread and I say it was stupid?
