I certainly agree that responsibility falls on the users, but I really want the moderation process to be more accessable to a common user. I do not mean they should actually have a role in the process, but simply be able to see what is going on (excluding private moderator meetings). I would suggest starting with refraining from deleting posts and threads.
Honestly, the moderation process I've seen here the same as the moderation process I've seen anywhere else. Things like inflammatory posts and threads are going to get pulled without further explanation on just about any forum out there.

the mods can easily run any forum into the ground.
which is exactly what theyre doing!!!
Having seen some of the pulled content in question (before it was pulled), the moderators are doing their job. Those threads were already into the ground six feet deep.

Sheesh, just Lay off of Sithborg already. He is clearly one of the best mods here (IMHO) and sending a lynch mob after him doesn't do any good.

You've repeatedly used an insulting and confrontational tone just in this very thread... Quote:

why have you deleted one of my posts and shut the other one out?
are you afraid of something?

Yes i know its an opinion, thus IMHO, in my humble opinion! Really though my send a lynch mob after the one guy who is trying to not infringe on people's rights. It is private business. Leave it be.

none of those are insults... confrontational maybee, but if your friend was bannedby a mod and given no reason as to why you would be looking for answers too right?

Going on the forum and harassing a mod until you get yourself banned is not going to help your friend or his case. In fact, quite the opposite. It makes the moderator even more certain that they did the right thing. I can't tell you the number of times I've seen a moderator issue a relatively meaningless warning, and because the user's response escalates it to a full ban.

Keeping reasons why a person is punished private allows them to learn from the experience, and keep hard feelings down.
Not that it really matters, since it just gets spread around via skype or on other sites...
