I know you're frustrated, and so am I. Your concerns do matter. I told you then that I would work on making sure that we corrected any inequity in the way moderators do their jobs. I did try to find out earlier today why your shout was deleted, unsuccessfully. I don't know who did it or why. I agree that it was unfair. We are working on correcting that kind of thing in the future. I would ask for a little time to work on this stuff. I'm working day and night on games/game updates, and I'm only one person. I don't know what more I can say. I'm trying.

I did say in my earlier post that we make mistakes. I do, and the moderators do. I also said that I expect moderators to act civilly. We're working on that, too. No moderator is exempt from the standards that we set for the forums. I don't condone a lot of what has been said here by a lot of people.

I disagree that these forums are dying. It's true that they are continually evolving. The community changes constantly. I've been here since the beginning, and I've seen a lot of really good people leave precisely because things changed. Some left because of the SB becoming a forum feature, some left for other reasons, but the community is in constant flux. We've learned to accept that.
