I can understand moderating a mob-pack going after a specific member.

- Flaming can get out of control. Take action against whomever starts a flame war or one who is overtly escalating a flame war, and then just delete all the subsequent posts. You need to use good judgment on flames, because sometimes it is between friends and meaningless.
