Moderation around here seriously needs to buck up. Just came across this thread and its not great.

Some transparency should be par for the course. I don't like the idea of posting somewhere you might get edited should you say the wrong thing to the wrong person (within reasonable limits of self conduct). I understand moderation is an essential part of any well rounded forum but care should be taken as to what ends up in the garbage and what doesn't. Its just good manners really.

Hang in there Jazz. The forum would be a far worse place without you and others like you.
