...Any moderation will be announced to those people I just mentioned, and not publicly. Why not publicly? On balance, it seems better to not call out individuals publicly which might only make things worse and make them feel more upset, which is not the purpose of a 'cooling off' period.
I believe doing it this way is better because it makes it less personal. If it's public, it's more like making a child sit in the corner in front of the room, which is as much about humiliation/embarrassment as anything else.
Overall, I like the idea - "circuit breakers" generally prove to be a good way to stop a runaway in other fields.
