Wow, really? :-O

I very rarely, if at all, see people get moderated for criticizing this site. I mean, I guess I've seen about two people get banned by ioi for encouraging people to use adblock on this site (because well, the ads on this site are less than optimal...), but that's about it.

 

In fact, I don't think I've ever seen anyone get banned or moderated for talking about this site or its community in a negative light (aside from those two aforementioned cases). I've seen a few people that did talk about this site or its community in a negative light get moderated, but that had more to do the actual flaming and trolling in the posts than them criticizing the site or its community.

I was told that if I had any "issues with the site" to take it to a PM, as in no thread making to openly talk of any issues or people. I can't say I've seen much of either on here and I think my own account isn't just a random coincidence. Personally I feel that what accounts to criticism can be skewered pretty easily, to someone it could count as flaming or trolling, to another it could be a legit issue.

 

It depends a lot on how you word things when you criticize or question the site. If you remain level-headed and don't single users out, and come with constructive criticism, then mods are very lenient and willing to discuss issues. I'm not sure which case you are talking about though, so I can't speak my mind about that.
