I think the vast majority of the time the moderators are acting justly and addressing something that is clearly written in the forum guidelines. If you don't understand how the system works and what the rules are, please just read the guidelines again.[/quote]
I think so too; however, there are instances when forum moderators have and do edit posts and ban members when these members did NOT break forum rules and did not deserve to be banned. That is what bothers me...[/quote]
Point it out then, give us a specific case? I don't really see that happening here. What I see is the same members stirring the pot and agitating others, or the same members taking topics off-topic.
If you post something that is off-topic and does not pertain to the original post (fishing) then the moderators have the right to edit/delete your post. That's the rule, if you don't like it, too bad?
Not to be harsh, but like I have said... I think your problem is that you won't just accept the fact that it is not up to you. It's up to the moderators. They pull the strings, they make the decisions... if you don't like them... too bad. Plain and simple.
Directly from the forum guidelines: "..[#4040ff]moderators are empowered to edit, delete or move posts…using moderator discretion. They also have the power to ban individual members who openly and wantonly violate BFT Utah guidelines."

Why are you surprised that they are doing exactly what they have the power to do?
