Well looking at this thread it just goes to prove people do indeed disagree with moderating on this forum and for sure if it is talked about in any way or form some mod will jump in and close the thread simply because they dont want anyone talking bad of them in any way or form... oooer.
The TRUE way of a moderator should be a silent one and no way make comments to urge people on to argue and throw abuse because they think they got the backing of the mod !.
Moderators are human too and obviously get in with their own views even if it is derogative and does indeed get peoples back up, and the most common thing is to just close a thread because THEY think its what should be done from an individual point of view... screw anyone elses feelings aye !!.
As a test for everyone to watch let's just see how long this thread is allowed to live ha ! and just wait for the fanboys of the mods to get involved to make such a mess that gives the mods reason for closure !!!.

For one, your flame bait is unappreciated. First time, funny. Second time, old. Third time, annoying. And fourth and subsequent times, ridiculous.

If you would provide some actual examples (links and quotes,) of where moderators have gone wrong, I'm sure they would be happy to listen.

That's all I'm asking for. Proof. I'm not asking for a fight, or a mess. Just proof.

Ha ok when i have the time i will indeed post a few examples as i was waiting for this q to be thrown soyes good point and a good way forward BUT for sure this will cause a hell of a lot of critisism and i am not sure if it is in fact a good idea.
If you look at every mods posts you will see they have a group of followers that will in fact become very obvious that where mod goes they go lol.
I am not throwing any flaming here i am just simple giving a point of view and a logical one too i might add if you read what i said.
You need to find locked threads to get a true image of behaviour so please also try at least to do some research yourself based on what i have said on this post and i am sure others will follow but the problem is not many have the actuall guts to down a mod on here for obvious reasons and have to be VERY tactical about it.
