I'm sure you do a great job of it, and even though I've never been |
51 |
there, I'd like to thank you for doing it. Just be careful not to get |
52 |
into the rut of relying on too many automated processes for banning people. |

Perhaps you need a bot that can feed you the full text of what a person |
55 |
says so you can review it for intent. Kick an obvious "Fsck you" |
56 |
statement to the curb, but perhaps not come down on someone who says, "I |
57 |
made an ass of myself today when I screwed up the system config in front |
58 |
of the boss today." |

It's got to be hard to keep an eye on everything in the room. Some kind |
61 |
of syntax highlighting or the previously mentioned bot (if one such |
62 |
exists or could be created) might do wonders for your moderating sanity. |
