I totally agree, although reading this thread, a significant minority of members would appear to feel that
some aspects of the moderation is too strict and/or un-necessary at the moment.
Speaking as someone who was very briefly a moderator, the amount of work the mods do behind the scenes is absolutely immense, and
we all owe them a great deal of thanks for giving up significant amounts of time to help the forum run smoothly.
Like others, I do feel that there are ways that the load on the mods could be lightened without adversely affecting the smooth running of the forum e.g. by turning a blind eye to all but the worst spelling and grammatical errors, and spending less time archiving, now that the excellent Google search function is in place.
