Trading thread removed?

Question: Why don't you ban the PEOPLE instead?

I've made this argument before in another community. The answer I received is that policing individuals is too difficult and once tempers flare it tends to spread out of control. From the perspective of a moderator who isn't interested in spending time wading into dozens of disputes, it's easier just to lock the threads whenever discontent arises. That was a forum where the moderators were also a lot more involved in the community than the ones here likely are.

In short, moderators with limited time and attention act in the interest of their own convenience, not your's.
