I think I agree with most of what you're saying. (There's a lot of it. :) Moderators are here for a reason: to keep this board from turning into RGCC. The moderators can't be perfect, but they're elected, so it's not likely that a moderator is an idiot with bad judgement. I think if people have a big problem with deleted posts and banned members, they should migrate to RGCC. -Tom
