Anyone who's been here long enough has likely witnessed unethically heavy moderation at some point from a certain moderator who shall not be named. I've had multiple messages deleted by them with no rules-based justification and no response to my requests for clarification, though it's probably been a little over a year since the last time they did that. Thankfully, the vast majority of the moderators here take their roles more seriously and do try to be fair.I actually almost left the forum because of her. Well, she was the instigator, I was actually more pissed off at the mods back then, but still, an instigator.
Yeah, I too have had my issues with the staff and certain other members in the past, but time is the great healer and bringer of maturity. The staff here aren’t all that heavy-handed compared to some forums I frequent where each post is supposed to be some essay-adjacent well-thought-out writ. On MaidenFans it feels like we actually have conversations and I like that vibe.And for what it's worth, when compared to many other groups/forums etc. (from what I've seen done to others, I'm usually not this active anywhere else) the mods here are actually great.
