Application of WOTC

[Spiffeh]

What are your ideas for handling it better?

I mean if someone is WOTC'd their feelings are bound to get hurt but I've never seen someone bullied out of a game like that unless they deserved it

And if someone has a valid concern with someone who joins a game with WOTC as an option I feel like making these concerns public is the best way to go so other players who might not necessarily know that person would understand why it's happening.

Otherwise WOTC is a p. useless function

PEdit: This was @ OP

Perhaps a good model would be a private PM to the [to-be] mod. The mod announces to the players that there is one, why there is one and invites people to PM to add their name in to the hat if they wish.

I think this is a great model to follow.

It should become the standard.

I guess this keeps it more anonymous but I don't think this helps the "hurt feelings" part which seems to be what you're trying to fix.
