    Established Mods are fair, new Mods have a stick up their ass(i have seen it) Back seat Mods are the worst.

    Most Mods are grand, just like 90% of boards users.

    You'll always have a few Mods that come from that 10% of numpties though

    In any of the few dealings I've had with mods I've been impressed.

    I questioned an infraction once and while it wasn't withdrawn,
    the mod was friendly and took the time to give me a detailed
    reason for why they gave the infraction.

    I have seen the odd case of unfair punishment being meted out though.
    Worst of all, sometimes a strong argument has been made against the
    punishment only for the mod to ignore it and refuse to withdraw the punishment.

    They are on the ball with trolling / abuse. I think that *some* mods are unable to set aside their own beliefs, and dislike for some posters.

    My personal favourite is the 'back-seat modding'. Wtf. As much as I respect the time and dedication that goes into the job.. Maybe.. Just maybe.. Some of us are only on to air a view / amuse themselves, believe it or not, but stay within the charter.

    Feedback is also met wit clique-ish hostility. So its taught me to not bother my hole.This thread is going to be like shooting fish in a barrell.

    But overall, if I didnt enjoy, or have a laugh with some posters, I wouldnt be here. [/honesty]
