Here is a recent posting that exemplifies moderation as abuse of power:


===============================================

This thread is now closed. Please use this thread for pointless PR1.2 discussions:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=42285

Please note that anyone else who cannot follow the idea that the new firmware will be released when it works properly will be considered "special needs", and afforded the same consideration as other challanged individuals.

===================================

Note how the moderator uses the last message to express his opinion, then closes the thread. This of course gives him the last word and prevents any replies.

The moderator makes it clear that he has the right to be insulting and not worry about politeness. This shows how much power he has and how little fear of greater powers..

In that case, my apologies to real moderators. I have seen similar abuses from real moderators, but if this isn't one, my criticism is based on a lie that is not mine.

Edit: I tried to delete my original post,but couldn't. I should be more aware that liars exist here.

There is a list somewhere here that lists all official moderators.
