So, in other words, salvagebar was trying to create drama, but not in any serious way (he intended it as a joke, but obviously it didn't come off that way). This isn't against our rules, actually, per Waxx's recent clarifications, so long as salvagebar doesn't go further or keep at this kind of thing.
I can see quite clearly that nyehcat was backseat modding and policing other users. Nyehcat seems bound and determined to step on Aelanna's toes. If this was just one incident, I wouldn't care (stepping on toes isn't against the rules by itself either, and… well, honestly, many users backseat mod a tiny bit). However, as this thread demonstrates, this is a pattern of behavior. This tells me nyehcat is trying to cause trouble.
I don't want to see nyehcat doing this again. I'd like to officially request that he stop trying to affect how other people tag or use Nala or any of the site functions that fall under Aelanna's purview, because he's using this to troublemake, and he demonstrably has absolutely no clue what he's talking about in any of those areas and he's annoying the people who do. (He was wrong that salvagebar was abusing Nala, whether or not salvagebar was trying to cause drama.)
I don't care what his intentions are or not, this is what is happening. And if he does not lay off, then I'd like to inform him that there may be disciplinary action (at staff discretion, since we're not telling him to never talk to Aelanna again or anything, as I feel that's going too far; we all have to deal with annoyances in the course of being part of this community, so simply annoying someone isn't sufficient).
However, I'll wait a bit for other ops to chime in, in case there's disagreement.
(Also, if there is consensus, Roget, you can pass it on if you like, as you were already talking to him. Otherwise, I can.)
