I think that when people volunteer to give up their time for the benefit of the majority, they should be commended in every way. The problem is that they don't always remember that they are working on behalf of the community and for the benefit of that community.
When this is forgotten, it becomes something personal and it is at this point that the person should consider 'stepping down' from that position of responsibility. They are no longer objective and cannot meet the needs of the community as a whole.
This does not reflect on all Moderators that work on this forum but it appears that some have fallen victim to their position of power and should consider the needs of all and not just a few or the one....(almost a Star Trek quote..... Thank you Mr Spock).
Like some of you that have already commented before me, I am also 'biased on my own observations, having been a victim of (IMO) unfair moderation.' I vowed never to write in here again and only do so now because I believe strongly in the good of the forum.
Some of you may not think that this is an important topic, but when I can't write in my own way about things important to me, to have posts edited or removed and to have been moderated in any way, even though I have caused no offense, I no longer see the point in writing or the love of posting in the forum.
The worst thing in the world is to lose trust in anyone as trust is delicate and cannot be restored easily. But I find myself in this position and only hope that some time in the future, people will reconsider their positions and acknowledge that mistakes have been made, no matter how innocent or for the right reasons. Only then can we all move forward as a community to help and support each other.
