IMHO (I haven't gone and looked, so not a direct comment on this instance) the mod team here is very laid back. Compare and contrast this from another board I used to frequent:
* Person 1 posts something off-board about board members while keeping it anonymous
* Person 2 takes umbrage and posts a huge rant about it on the board, without keeping it anonymous
* Mods 1 & 2 (both friends of Person 2 in RL) jump into action... against Person 1
* Person 1, over the next month, is hounded off the board by the mods involved
So now, of course, anyone who expresses an opinion on anything is likely to get banned instantly.
It could be much worse, folks, don't complain too hard
