My point was that beyond that, there is nothing more I can do
There is a lot more you can do. If you don't want to do it, be honest about it.
Yes, there are other things I could do. I could do a barrel-roll. I could fly to Helsinki. I could make Kendrick admin, Thork a mod, and ban Daniel. When I say there is nothing more I can do beyond the actions I have already taken, it is obviously clear that this is the degree of action I regard as appropriate, possible, or practical, and my meaning is completely clear in context.
If your real intention is to be completely non-constructive and pointlessly pedantic, could you be honest about that? I am not going to hyper-qualify every statement I make when you could just be reasonable instead of an ass.

him not being aware of the role, probably through absence.
Still, he should be able to have a look at the forum rules (or somewhere similar) and find out what Curators can and can't do. Currently, he has no such option, and neither do I. Since there is no definitive point of information, it's quite likely that many people here don't actually know what Curators do. Can we have a thread somewhere that provides a sound and complete explanation of the FEC role?
I agree, I'll just edit the announcement linked earlier.
