Don't think that we're not aware of it as well. There's already multiple threads going for 3 pages long each or so in the moderator forums of us discussing what we can do about it. It's just hard getting the right balance between getting order here and consequently over-moderating, and letting things simply descend into utter anarchy. Either extreme isn't good, so we're currently in the process of trying to get that balance back somehow.

Also, most of the mods are uni students as well, so it does get harder to really be on the same level to some degree. Still, if there's any particular incidents that are actually troubling you or were the impetus behind this thread, PM me or another mod and we'll see what we can do about it.

hi shinny, your one of the good mods here. :) i think the admins and the mods take this website to seriously. i think just relax and try to be on same level as us but whenevr u see something wrong, fix it. their is a lot of arguing bw mods/admins and students too. i looked thru the first few threads of da yr 2007 when this website was opend - it was more friendly then as u can see. now it is to much like a business. people have exaggerateed roles under there username and it is ridiculosu. thats all i wan to say

A top bloke, this lad, if I may add. Always obliging and willing to lend a hand. Diffident in his pursuits, unpretentious in his actions.

Define overuling.  As a mod, I try my best not to be too controlling with my "power" - aside from one thread in recent history, most of my activity comes from deleting spam and adding in quick "Hey calm down guys" posts.  I'd argue that from what I see, this is what most of the mods on this site do most of the time.

No you didn't. You came here to complain. Also, name one instance where your second statement has happened

i tend to agree... i havent found the mods to be over controlling, sure they put a foot down here and there but with the world like it is today, people can say anything and it can be used against them, so i think they do a good job
but i guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion

I never found any of the mods or admins to be over-controlling... I also think they are doing a pretty good job around here!

I have noticed it happen on the odd occasion being here since the very start of 2009 and its caused a couple forums members to become very upset or leave (kinda leave that is) but i really think, in that regard it has gotten a lot better.

It hasn't happened at all lately, in recent memory anyway, so i think it is definitely on the up.

Can you please give us some examples? (I don't want to be unfriendly, but I'd like to see what kinds of things you are referring to with your comments).
