Having served previously and currently as a moderator on various sites, I've found that it's generally better to attempt to resolve any percieved issue directly with the member via PM/e-mail or by phone if you know it, rather than calling them out or embarrasing them in front of thier peers. Generally, it's the same way I treat people in an L/E situation.

A MOD should NEVER have a direct "open" confrontation with a member regarding the board rules. Take it to PM immediately. If the member refuses to work with you, then you as the moderator have the solution

No need to argue. after all, it;s not YOU (mod) thats been "violated" it;s a board rule.

Allow the member the opportunity to correct the issue so no one looses face and the admins stay happy.

The problem the the Corvetteforum is it's $$ driven.

They have paid sponsors that they depend on to help keep the site up and running. Unlike here, it's also apparently a for profit entity.

From what I read, some of the sponsors complained or blocked the forum at work due to some archiac, prudish outlook on sexuality

I was also informed once that since some places might block it, causing a loss of $$, they have choosen not to have a babes section at all.
Whenever it's discussed theres always a handful (couple mods and a few others) who repeat the same old rhetoric about "porn" and being a family site?
However, if you visit certain areas and read certain threads, they're anything but PG13

Over there, even belly buttons and bikini's are a

There's truly nothing objectionable about the pics you posted...nothing! Thanks for sharing them

You're right though, some of the mods go overboard and take this stuff too seriously.

I know Frank (MOJO) and it just doesn't sound like him. If he did it, I'm suprised. He's usually very easy going, level headed and decent to get along with.
Some of the mods feel like any questioning of thier authority is a "challenge."

We had a minor problem on one of the sites I moderate. Unfortunately we had a couple people that simply refused to keep thier personal life drama off the site

After several attempts to resolve it as formerly mentioned, I had to start locking and moving things. I did however, contact eah one effected and gave them an explanation of my actions. If they had a question, I tried as best I could to answer them.

There are a couple over there that seem pretty heavy handed with the lock button and get off tossing around the "banned camp" threat

There are some really good folks over there, but some of the rules are just assbackward

Thats what happens when $$'s involved

Now...more pics!
