[Hoot Gibson]

Some mods are out of control deleting threads that have no reason to be deleted and calling members liarsBayern the have no clue

It seems to me that closing threads with a post by a moderator citing the reason that the thread was closed is more effective than deleting threads and inviting members who did not read the final post to speculate on what happened to the thread. I hope that part of the changes that have been made based on member input include emphasizing to moderators the importance of setting good examples by following the rules themselves.

I know that it is sometimes difficult to dispassionately and objectively perform the duties of a moderator, given how immature members may get, but a thin-skinned, hot-headed moderator is not well suited for the job.
