And that's a good personal policy. Some of the threads I'm thinking of were ones where I was originally one of the targets of a crybully and the posts were plainly new threads with obfuscated aspersions cast upon my character. The kind of thing that on Facebook people would call "vaguebooking", which I'm perfectly ok with someone getting attacked for and also with them and the thread getting muted by people who don't want to see it.

I also think it's good for, as @p often says, the ratio of users to admins to be as close to 1 as possible. Small instances where you know your admins and understand who they are will always be superior to large impersonal ones.

Yeah. One of the problems I encounter is that these things bleed over into other threads. Perhaps it should not, but should isn't tied to "does"

@Leyonhjelm @Moon @mrsaturday Yeah. It is definitely something that has happened and continues to. It makes sense if the thread brings it up but not otherwise.

@sim
The trick is when it's subtle or coded to target specific individuals.

@Leyonhjelm @Moon @mrsaturday Yeah. And it helps if people respect the admins and build a good relationship with them.

@Leyonhjelm @Moon @mrsaturday Yeah, when it is provoked and makes sense, then I just leave people alone to sort that out between themselves. But if it is something completely unrelated to the drama and just someone saying hello to their followers and talking about their day normally then it makes no sense to me. FWIW, I always look for context in threads when making my own decisions. These things require careful consideration.
