Unfriendly/ rude moderation is what happens when the tools in place to try to keep the site’s content in alignment with the person’s vision fail.

Not enough votes. Not enough time. Poor filters. Too low a barrier to post a new question.

People then turn to social tools. Rudeness ensues.

An open question is what is the vision of the site... and there are probably many of them.
