What I can say is that I've seen links to videos showing executions, suicides, posts containing pictures of mutilations, posts with links to various graphic sites, and more, when the links/pictures have been removed with a warning. I've removed them myself in the past. I've seen links to graphic videos left alone and nothing done about them, despite complaint. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't often see someone moderated for this, unless it's been done repeatedly, especially when it's a long standing member who's never even been moderated before.
I'd have to agree that a PM would have served better in this case.
