I understand that you all volunteer and how thankless of a job being a mod is. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes at all but imo the general consensus is that you all are doing a pretty good job it's just minor things here and there that certain members have problems with. It's your choice to decide how you want to moderate.

It might seem like I'm whining and complaining but I'm not speaking just on my behalf but on the behalf of several other members where we have discussed different instances were mods have "slipped" up. Sure, you all are human and make mistakes but some of these mistakes don't even appear to be that way and just the regular course of business.

The baiting that I'm referring to happened with a recent situation but I won't go into it here if you want to discuss it further we can do so in PMs.
