I'm going to take Cindy's advice and stay away from anything about her personally. I'm concerned only with the posts and those are what bothered me.
There are ways for a buffista to act no matter their age.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

Thanks for all the fish.
While certainly people can comment on a person's posting style or content, and how they react to that, but it's really not a good idea to comment on a person's intent (positively or negatively) - because there really is no way for us to know that.

Our wings are not tired.
I'd really like to see this put to rest at this point.
Don't we have thread names to discuss or things to vote on? Hey, how about we go enjoy the other threads some?

Always Anti-fascist!
well, I'm not being tortured alone, put it to a vote first! Muhahaha. That would never happen...lost as it would be in discussions of whether vampire fangs could bite through acryllic socks, how nice Wesley would look wearing just a sock, and cross-cultural sock comparison.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My suggestion, such as it was, was for Official cluesticking to try to sort things out, rather than to whap someone over the head. Opening a dialogue, rather than slapping someone's wrist.
So far, we've had two problem posters, and both were, IMO, given ample time and opportunity to sort things out before any official action was taken. Channels of dialogue were more than open. (In Zoe's case, they still are.)
I don't think that part of the system's broken. We are all moderators here.
I also think that since the official warning to Zoe has already gone out, there's really nothing more to discuss about her "case." The problem may have already been solved.

I've deleted my last post, since it really is spectacularly unhelpful.
As you were.

Up with the sun
It seems that my suggestion sucked, and would turn us into a police state moderated forum, which really wasn't my intention
FWIW, I don't think moderated forum = police state at all. Moderated fora are just ... moderated fora. Table Talk is moderated, and I don't think any Buffistas ever complained about that, because it was a sane moderation. I think that's the model we should keep in mind, not a TWoP-at-its-worst gulag.
