You could give the suggestion to owner to do something to reducing the thing happened like this, I just a moderator and I have to do some actions, maybe be sometimes is not that good, I'm young than you in this forum, and still learning and get used to follow the rules when I do any actions.

It seems to me that a "not advisable" section would give the administrators enough distance from potential legal rammifications. You can say "don't do it" without stamping out free speech.

instead of one of these:

 

This has gone far enough, and is off topic. Mods do occasionally make mistakes, get over it.
