Moderators (requests and notices)

I thought the rider down was supposed to be a kind of public record, maybe there needs to be a place to discuss the rider down threads in private, but I think the actual threads should be public.

This.

It's not one or the other.

TM was only asking why this thread wasn't private, not all the threads or the whole forum.

I suppose it was originally intended for minor incidents not necessarily involving forumengers as well as for forumenger incidents, but it's evolved to be almost exclusively the latter.
