Addressing the original post, I'm personally very happy with the moderation here. The boards seem quite civil, and the mods seem to do a good job of stepping in when it looks like things are becoming uncivil.

You be the judge.
 




I've been an active fan of the site since the earliest days and I've yet to run afoul of the moderators. I usually self-moderate by not bothering to visit threads that seem like edition wars or trolling in general. I haven't felt the need to put any poster on the banned list. I have reported spam a few times but only one or two posts in the dozen years or so of visiting quite regularly.

Based on that I'm pleased with the Moderation here. I've seen them do it with some heat and with humor and either is okay by me. I've managed to miss the examples Dumb Paladin says are out there of regulars getting away with a-hole behavior. So I have to say I'm happy with the moderation here and say thank you to the mods.
 

No problems w/ the moderation. They've been helpful when contacted and deal w/ spam quick. I spend most of my time in PbP fora, so less "edition wars" there.

(Disclaimer: I'm listed as a moderator, but that's just for one PbP forum. I have no insight/access to the rest of the moderation. Just the way I like it. :))
 

<sigh> It's a once-a-month thing, I guess?

So, back to the actual topic of this thread: forum moderation.

For the second time recently, a moderator has made a negative personal statement about users, who are of course NOT allowed to respond in kind back to said moderator, and as far as I understand it, are not allowed to make such statements about other users on this board.

What's the rule here, exactly -- Do as I say, not as I do, or Might Makes Right?

It's NOT that hard to close a thread by simply saying, "This thread is closed for inappropriate behavior on the part of one or more users." Anything beyond that makes the people in charge appear very petty.

Moderation may not be discussed in public, it's as simple as that. As a mod will often say, if you have a problem, PM the mod in question or Morrus himself.

And IMO closing a thread with some pointless generic comment is far more galling than calling out the reasons for doing so.
