IME it's rarely by name but it's often like this. Mod complains about someone in enough detail that you can identify the participant, if you can be bothered to spend a few minutes clicking around. In this case, the recip was never mentioned by name, but it only took me three clicks to find them based on information that was shared in chat.

I find most mods aren't that specific when they complain or ask for advice. I'm not even canon familiar and I was able to find what they were talking about. :/

Some mods are better about it than others. Ashling was terrible for it, I find Leaf really bad for it also. EO and River aren't great.

DCnotamod:

Is this something that's worth bringing up to the server at large, since this seems to be a larger etiquette issue among (in this case) new-ish mods?

Yeah, I'd bring it up to the server owner. And gently push back next time someone starts to give details that aren't necessary to resolve their issue

The server owner participated in the conversation, so.

They did (though more at the end, and they were on the side of the person who pushed back against calling the recip a liar), but it's still worth bringing it up to them. They've set lines for people before on what's allowed to be discussed and that's really the only thing they 'mod' there, so it's worth asking them to tighten that up.

Sweet summer child. The purpose of a system is what it does.

What a breathtakingly condescending answer.

Thank you!

Coalie, you know damn well you didn't post that, don't steal compliments from me.

>:)

What is it with the sheer number of asshats in this thread?

not surprised by any of those names

I really wish Leaf would stop using it to constantly seek validation and like it's her journal. Go DM your friends.

ok now this is just randomly making stuff up

DC I also find she has a tendency to overshare, she definitely uses it as a vent space. It's odd because it's not like she doesn't have friends she can DM, she's very well-integrated into the community.

She's talkative but she's still talking about mod stuff. I'm not sure where the oversharing comes in...

That's true, she's definitely on topic. I guess I just avoid monopolizing servers to monologue about whatever's on my mind, however relevant it is, because I'm... not talkative.

The oversharing is giving too much information about mod stuff, when certain things should be reserved for DMs.

It's most definitely not lol.
