And why are you here just ready and waiting to "Back up" an invisible, faceless Moderator running rampant?
What's positive about it? What's useful or beneficial to this type of heavy handed action?

It's in the reader's feedback forum.
But one thing that is not at norm is that there is no trace of this thread in the original forum "General Discussion" while previously, when threads are moved to their respective sub forums, it will show: "Moved: Topic". |

But see how fast you were to bash the moderator.

I appreciate the response, I appreciate the huge pain in the ass trying to remain impartial, help out, and at the same time keep the board on track. It's pretty thankless and a PITA. But just taking a few minutes here and there to address issues/concerns with the members directly can make a huge difference. Not to mention having a Moderator or Admins involved that actually participate and contribute to the forums as enthusiasts. This helps eliminate a lot of drama when folks know who you are, and that you are not just some alien entity that occasionally shows up and starts moving deleting things... Cheers...

This is easy... I've been a moderator, Admin then (Insert Booming Voice) Super Admin... Over at hayabusa.org for years. So yeah I'm a little sensitive to moderators acting without concern or appreciation for the perception that there actions can create.
I found that thing though...

So even you know that no one is perfect and its hard to please everyone. I cant picture dealing with a forum this size though. I just feel bad since the Admins of this site have put a lot of work into this site just to have people still complain. No forum will ever be perfect. Unless you enjoy a forum full of bashing and immature remarks. Not being a kiss ass since i have no idea who the admins or mods even are on this forum.

Thanks Moderator for your quick response. I would like to clarify a few of your points.

Perhaps before you delete a post that you find objectionable, but not a blatant infraction, you could get a sense of who the poster is and what he has contributed to the community. You certainly don't want to shoot one of the deputies just because you saw him aiming a gun at someone else. A shoot first, talk later approach is never advisable in a civil society. For what are we? Barbarians?

It seems like a gradual increase in problems. In the beginning, the list was simple, little acrimony. When someone was out of line fellow posters suggested more constructive ways of getting a point across and all was calm again. Even the Tine wars -- Will there be a 335? Will it be a turbo? -- were relatively benign.
Now the list is enormous, and the pace of new threads and posts orders of magnitude faster. IMO Jason and Mark have done a remarkable job. E90Post emerged from obscurity into arguably the most interesting new BMW list. Other lists -- e.g., Bimmerfest -- used to dwarf E90Post. Now if you want to know what is happening, you look here. What I find remarkable is the lack of intrusion into release of proprietary BMW info. Mind you, it's not like issues of industrial espionage. But still, there were really important posts here that were the primary source of information distribution about stuff that BMW evidently did not want public.

Moderators moderate. If you have a problem with their moderation, contact them privately. They usually have a good reason for their actions. If not, perhaps you can convince them to reconsider. Happens on the board where I moderate.
