Its not a case of that but more a case of members misinterpreting what moderators are doing. So far, every single mod ive talked to is a cool, levelheaded person who is trying their best to do their job fairly and effectivly. But this can and often does be misunderstood by some of the members of the forum. Ive seen many being branded as elitists, or authoritarians on false grounds.
Some of the people on the forum are tending to freak out when a thread gets moved for review (most often its just because its been posted in the wrong section, theres that many threads that its difficult to file all of them at times) and because as a result of the default forum code, when a thread is moved for review unless you are a moderator or researcher you will see the message "You are not allowed view this page" or something along those lines. And i can understand why that doesnt sit well with some people.
Theres been a lot of comotion about this lately which is why i posted this thread. Its important to keep focused on what exactly we are trying to achieve here and not allow avalon to rot from the inside out due to petty arguments and people refusing to accept other peoples views.
