Does it work well or is it just a way for senior members to push people around?

That's not possible one way or the other... It prevents this place from becoming like /b/... Which is a good thing. :|

i personally thinks its way to scrutanious (is that a word), and a little nitpicky, but then again w/o it things would be rediculous (i.e. gametrailer forums)

It's an imperfect endeavor undertaken by good intentioned people who are, nonetheless, never going to manage to be as perfect as the community at large desires. Ultimately, moderating is a subjective exercise. There are always going to be people who think that the mods are either being too strict or not strict enough.

Nocoolnamejim is right. Checking out some of the newer sites, started by ex members, they seem to only want the ability to use the f word every other sentence. The mods are needed and all in all do a good job, you'll get a moderation that you don't understand if you stick around long enough, but all in all it's fair and keeps the place in control.

Although I have had a few run-ins with mods, I think it's good that they're here so this place doesn't become a jungle

True, but when you get a "Final Warning" after you've poked fun AT YOURSELF, you start to get a little bit.....angry. ;)

Now, now. Just because it is a level 1 user talking about the mods doesn't mean FOR CERTAIN that it is an alternate account. It certainly points to that sort of possibility, but I try not to jump to conclusions.

It can be a bit strict at times, but my moderations have generally been understandable.
