There is an appeal process.  Currenlty that is to the Chair. Roberto
overturned actions, as Patrick did in his acting capacity earlier
today.

I don't think that is relevant, really. I used to think that it should
be mandatory, however I no longer do.  I think the complainant has a
right to privacy, and I don't see how the identity of the complainant
is relevant.  The moderator accepts responsibility for the action.

Disclosure of complainants only leads to further inflammations.
