Does anyone ever actually complain there?
With all due respect, I would be uncomfortable as all get out to post a complaint against a mod anywhere (whether or not I had one), but especially on a board devoted to them.
Kosmonaut's approach may be flawed, but I wouldn't dismiss him at once.
The point is that it gives us a good location to find the complaints. If someone
just wants to mutter about something, hey no big deal. But, if you desire anyone
to consider the issue raised, it seems the only logical place to complain. Given that
we have a VERY limited mandate as mods here, it may help us to see where members
are complaining, in order to realize that we may be exceeding our specific purpose,
and performing OTHER actions which general members are not able to do.
Buried complaints become even less likely to get Alex's attention. When it comes down
to it, any instance of "overmodderation" is either a part of his rules for the site, or
a disregard for our mandate (well that or a point that might need to be clarified).
