^ I think the number of mods we have now is fine. I have more trust in a consensus opinion coming from a small group than a pronouncement handed out by one or two Mighty Mods.

Back in the Cold War days of Mutually Assured Destruction, NATO began to realize the importance of "flexible response", i.e. a military strategy that allowed for a graded response before going nuclear. At the moment we have warnings and short-term bans before the nuclear option of a permanent ban, but I wonder if mods have ever considered a warning that is coupled with a demand for an apology? Has a mod ever said, "Apologise publicly for your post / erase your post or face a ban"? Maybe that would give another grade of response before the banhammer gets taken out of its glass case in the mod cave.
