Yep, this thread is way too much talk in it already even though there is infact nothing much that should be argued about right now. This was about general being attacked by mods when mods were just being, mods?
The only reason why people really turns against this is probably because...
They usually hang in general all clogg it with crap just as some of those that got seen.
They havn't been on enough to see how bad general can get in some situations.
Their friend(s) got into trouble for not listening in the first place and want to deffend them.
Or just because they like to argue for funsies? lol.
So is the problem really that mods were too harsh and going on a rampage? No, it isn't.
Bottom line is mods do whatever the can to keep the game under control, if they think something is going of the rails they try to stop it. If users don't hit the breaks and prepare for impact it will be a hard one.
