Get Yer Ya-Yas Out [FR Moderating Gripe Thread]

[history]
LM here.
It's been a while since we had a thread along these lines.
I can tell from comments I am seeing in threads, on abuse reports, and in Freepmail that some people are unhappy with various policies and their implementations by the staff here.
I've seen allegations that certain factions are picked on. I've seen allegations that the moderators have killed activism. I've heard rumors that we killed Kenny, and even that we killed the radio star. I see certain personality conflicts acting up, and know that one (or both) sides in it feel that we aren't doing what we should.
So let's open this can of worms.
This thread is for making your grievances heard. If you think something stinks or is wrong, make your case here. Back it up with facts. Let the audience at large weigh in on your evidence.
I'll read the thread. Jim will too in all likelihood. So will the other moderators. Depending upon how well you make your point, and depending on if you can convince Jim, me, the other moderators, and/or the world, maybe you can change things. And if you don't, then it might make you feel better to have vented, so it won't make this thread a total loss.
I'm not going to reply to this thread for quite a while. Rather, I am going to sit back and watch to try and get a feel for the general tenor. I encourage those who are both happy and unhappy with things to particpate in this thread.
Let's rock.

I, for one, have no gripes. Great job, moderating team. Thanks for creating all this, Jim.

Actually, I think you're doing a pretty good - and thankless - job running the asylum, but I just wanted to throw the first shovelful on the heap of abuse you're gonna get. ;^)
To: I Am Not A Mod
This is awfully important. Shouldn't it be posted to each and every one of the 50 states so that those looking for local news stories are certain not to miss it?

"Everything's fine" doesn't improve anything folks, though FR is the finest site on the web. :)
I'll get flamed for this but, here goes...
I find it rather fun to slam on leftists ("liberals" in the vernacular) but there aren't any to be had on FR.
I can see kicking their butts off the site if they break the rules, but otherwise, they should be allowed to stay and take their punishment from people who think in a logical manner (FReepers).
I understand that it is difficult for a leftist to be able to argue without breaking the profanity rules, but if they don't - leave them up as clay pidgeons.

Ban nopardons for a week and see if things mellow out. I suspect your abuse button will be much quieter.
To: areafiftyone
I resent the headline!
