I think OrangeCrate's suggestion that mods cannot moderate threads they are personally involved in is a better idea. |
I'm not too sure about this. This seems like it is effectively banning mods from full participation. And if a mod is unable to do the right thing even when involoved in the discussion, then I'm not sure they need to be a mod anyway. Just my 2 cents.
