[QUOTE="Rel, post: 4022776, member: 99"] Speaking as one of the aforementioned power-abusing, heavy-handed moderators, allow me a couple of comments: Even though I think that folks here have done a pretty good job with refuting some of your allegations, Shaz, you stated them in a way that was not terribly rude. No need to discipline you for that. So long as you maintain your cool and politeness and everybody else in this thread does as well (consider that a general warning) then this thread is perfectly fine. What I find amusing is the assertion that the moderators are scouring the boards looking for any outbreaks of anti-4e sentiment to stomp out. We really just don't have that kind of time. Nor do we have the inclination. I actually think that slightly more than half of us don't even like what we've seen of 4e. I know that nearly all of us have a much more "wait and see" attitude than most folks that post in the 4e forum. Speaking only for myself for a moment, I only recently went from "completely ambivalent" to "more positive than not". We've heard this criticism more than once and I'm sure we'll hear it again. But we also, just as often if not moreso, get criticized for letting too many anti-4e folks troll the forums. I guess we figure if we're pissing off both sides about the same then we must be maintaining some level of neutrality. As always, if you have questions or issues about specific bits of moderation or moderation in general, you know where to e-mail us. Enjoy (in a polite and respectful manner) the rest of your thread.
