You agreed to the the rules when you joined. That includes how to deal with moderation. If you no longer agree with the rules, you're welcome to look for somewhere with rules you do agree with.

I guess it depends on how you interpret it. Some may read it only specifies Bonus Action, so a full normal Action isn't limited. But the way I read that it implies you can't cast any other spell that requires a spell slot on the same turn you've already casted one.

To the original poster: If you are curious why a fighter at level can make 4 attacks in one round and a caster can still cast only one spell it's basically because any one attack from the fighter isn't considerably better at level 20 than at level 1. So instead of doing one thing each round and doing it better he does the same thing just more often. The spell caster, on the other hand, casts one spell but it just does a lot more damage.
