Is this a fair summary of Moderator duties?

Moderator duties:

If the tone of a forum becomes hostile or starts to move in the direction of personal attacks, the forum moderator usually has the discretion to lock the discussion to prevent heated, interchanges. He may also be able to hide discussions he deems unworthy of further discussion. Conversely, topics he feels deserve further examination can be posted indefinitely by the moderator even if they garner no comments.

It is the responsibility of a moderator to maintain order during discussions and to see to it that all participants behave with courtesy. Forums involve the exchange of ideas whereby participants air their views and sometimes engage in debates about the identified topics. Therefore, there is a possibility of the discussion becoming unruly particularly where the forum topic is controversial. Moderators order the forum by keeping the discussion civil and constructive. They share the rules of the forum, which may prohibit abusive language, derogatory comments and such other offensive behavior.

The only reason Aussie hasn't turned up is because he knows those rules above are reasonable & that he's broken every one of them himself.

Smithy,
It was a thread about beautiful animals -
we were posting pictures of lovely pets
& you deliberately tried to ruin it
by posting a picture of 5 dead cats hanging from a rope.

You got what you deserved & the Tavern is a better place for it.
