If posters can work it out between themselves, we'd like them to do so. Dr. Bob wishes the board to become as independent of Administration involvement as possible, and believes that posters can work things out among themselves many times. This policy change is for when the posters are clearly not working things out on their own.

And under the new policy, a poster may post something that another poster finds objectionable, but if the two come to some amicable conclusion or if the offended party accepts the apology of the offeding party there may also be no intervention by the administration?
What if during the last scenario above a third party presses the Notify button, will the admintrators have to react to the third party notification or will they wait to see if the problem interaction resolves itself?
