I think it's important to discuss the state of the community every now and then - feedback for mod behaviour, what's going wrong, what's going right, what news is interesting, what news is boring, what should there be more of, what should there be less of.

Mods feel free to remove this post if it violates rules, but I think it's an important discussion to have.

Sometimes those judgement calls have allowed moderation that is at the very least poorly defined in the rules. I posted one comment complaining about a local protest about the current Palestine-Israel conflict that trashed my university's library and shuttered it for the next few months. I got a delete-ban over that for a "CHUD Opinion", which is very much not in the rules. And that is far from the first time that I've run into unwritten rules that feel like they're putting a thumb on the scales.
