A report should also be filed with the Board of Moderators within 24hrs informing them of the actions taken along with the reasons.

If the moderator chooses to do so, a private message (PM) may be sent to the offending member along with an explanation of their reasons and actions.
However this is not a requirement.

Guideline #8. Moderator may not self impose
If any moderator finds that they theirselves are involved in a discussion whom they feel is in need of moderation, under NO circumstance should they elect to intervene in the dispute on their own.

They should contact another member of the Board of Moderators (who is not involved) who will then promptly and unbiasedly take whatever action they beleive to be necessary in relationship to the matter at hand on behalf of all members.
