I've noticed over the past few days a handful of comments that have been a little too aggressive about poor English. I mod messaged someone who pretty much asked how someone was going to write his resume if it was so bad, and other similar cases.

One of these were flagged - and we rely a lot on users to keep an eye on such things.

There's no real new rule here but, if someone's being not nice to someone about their usage of the englishEnglish language, and itsit's a logical fix, could we help out by editing, and flagging the comments? It would be nice to see if there's a pattern of it so we can take action if needed.

If folks have any ideas on how we can do this better or more efficiently, let me know.

There's no real fundamental change in moderation policy - just that I'd like to bring visibility to this and well, encourage folks to be excellent to each other.
