Tobus, you're right as far as you go, and that is that if somebody does complain, the moderators may still choose to say, "No, this is not really and truly a violation." More than that, it's by a voting process in which each moderator has a say. In this way, should a complainant pass something on, the moderators' role is to decide whether the compaint is justified.

I have also on occasion sent in a report, not because something was a violation, but because tempers were flaring far out of control and I thought that the moderators might want to just moderate the situation a bit more closely for a while. In effect, I trust this body of men and women who have been selected by their peers based on the online personality and restraint they have demonstrated. In those very few cases I've not been making a complaint, just watching for the characteristic kindliness of this forum.
