Yet another question I ask in my complete ignorance of issues. Would it be possible to create a court system in the forums where the players have authority or something of or in that forum? I believes that if they were to have the players report a post if they believe it is spam and 5 persons were to report a post it would be deleted if there reasons all agreed. Moderators then would simply be the "cops" of the forums who would simply deal with deleting the suggested posts and closing threads.
This would be a very inefficient and overall poor way to moderate a forum. People who are well-liked or well-known could get away with things that other people couldn't, because all the well-known and older players could gang up on the newer people and get all of their posts deleted.

I agree with this idea, it seems fair but it would also take a long time. People already complain about how long support tickets take, imagine if staff had to take time to review complaints about every deleted post?.

Wow, I am amazed that 1) you took the time to go through all your posts like that and 2) you've had 400 posts deleted.

I believe that many enjoy being able to take their anger out on staff without the staff's knowledge. The forum would only be moderated to remove links. There is nothing wrong with the staff being made fun of and the players could make fun of them so they would not personally attack them anywhere else. Many moderators would be protected or made fun of by players and it would relieve the players greatly.
You could create your own forum, similar to the 'other' forum, and just PM or AIM people about it. Then everyone could get together and complain about these forums in peace and without moderation, and you could be in charge and delete everyone's posts that you thought were spam or complained about how you ran your forum.

Not all users may prefer to write in Paragraphs, but it makes your posts far more easy to read and makes your complaints much more credible when they are well formed. Spam is, by definition, a post that has nothing to do with the topic at hand (or a processed, canned meat ), just because you disagree with what he is saying does not mean its spam. You are complaining in this post about the way mods are behaving and yet you are reacting pretty strictly towards any negative criticism, and would probably delete said negative posts if you had the ability.
