Forum moderator or People moderator or Both?
Tricky question, let's have a vote!

Mods moderate what is posted on boards. So, the boards are moderated, not people. It's not 1984 'round here, you know?
It really is tricky though. Some people who can't take a hint need to be moderated...but moderators by their nature only moderate what's on the boards.
However, it could technically be argued that banning someone from the boards completely is still a case of a moderator moderating what's on the boards by moderating that frequently vulgar people not be seen on the boards in general. I expect it only gets to that point if the person shows a bottomless wellspring of vulgarity, to the point that they're seemingly unable to not be vulgar towards people.
Probably taking a risk in my wording here of bringing up a conversation I'd like to keep dead, so I will not be replying to this post. >.>
Are you suggesting that the moderators lock or delete people?
Sounds kind of kinky.
I mean, there are definitely communities for that kinda thing.
