I think this forum is too strictly moderated. If I had to quantify it, I'd say we need a 30% reduction in the zealousness of moderation. About half the time I see the "X was warned" or "X was moderated" tag on a comment, I can't figure out what the offense was.

I feel like this forum errs on the side of enforcement. I'd prefer that we err on the side of free dialogue.                                       

Warnings aren't accompanied by notes, but bans should be. 

Regardless, what's overzealous about it? What do you think can be done to improve the quality of the mod team and moderations? Regarding free dialogue, how are things currently restricted in terms of what can/can't be said? Your feedback will be useful in this.

I'm not sure what else to say.  Mods do too much moderating.  Like I said, I don't even know why some of these comments are being moderated.  I see a note, and can't see anything wrong with the comments.
