BTW, why would one fear anybody on the internet unless he/she is a serial killer that knows your daily routines and where you live?

My 9mm is waiting BTW, whoever you are!

I actually think the mod team isn't nearly strict enough. In most forums, a thread like this would be locked immediately and the thread creator would be warned or severely banned. I mean, cmon. A thread whining about the mod team on the front page of the site? It's especially dreadful when it comes from someone who is so entitled, petulant, and annoying.

I agree entirely. There's plenty of other threads open as well, and people seem to be happy to complain without actually doing something to prevent the problem in the first place.

But who moderates the mods? That's the issue here. If some mods aren't fair in their decisions, what then?

Not sure if you read the OP but it looks more like a joke than anything even remotely serious.

The head moderator? And he is moderated by both the owners of the site and the community.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

The head is rarely on and as of late really doesnt seem to give a fuck about the site as he is rarely on, rarely interacts with the community and has been acting incredibly unprofessionally.

Does anyone really care enough to mod them or, and this is the one I'm betting on, are they just left to their own devices? I've seen many sites bomb due to apathetic mods who would rather throw out bans all around then deal maturely and professionally with an issue and I don't think this forum has a long way to go before it's traffic is low enough to warrant closing it.
