Mine is this - The Forum is here to serve our overly Geeky needs and does a s**t hot job at fulfilling them all!! Weather they are just to have a look at other peoples views or to get in to your elbows and get truly stuck in.
The Mod's and Site team are there to sort through posts no matter how relevent or not they are and remove/edit what ever they want too. At the end of the day, they have been given their role by the exsiting team and lets be honest, do what they want to as they see fit.
The purpose of PM or post flagging is so you can have a more intimate discussion with them over any deleting or editing they do, its there to be used, so use it. I have and find when flagging posts, your opinion is listened too more than trying to do their job.
With an ever growing forum and Community I think it best to work with them rather than verbally abusing them and picking at their faults. Helping them rather than trying to do the work for them will help build the forum more than anything else.
Compared to other places, this forum and it's Moderating are so laid back we should be over the moon - maybe apart from Boz

I know its easy to back seat moderate when your annoyed with someone for ruining discussion flow with rubbish, bring it to the mods attention, not the users....
I think i've done it countless times before & Human nature probably means I may do it again without meaning too.
