Is this thread really necessary? Hasn't this been chewed up already? Okay - I don't mean to jump into your thread and if I am wrong here or am misunderstanding the post then please feel free to flame on - but:

So, bottom line is that we have a max 21 Mods to monitor and assist, chide if required over 17k members. And 21 assumes that all Admins and mods are active on the boards...
Sometimes I wonder if we think that the mods are attacking us as individuals - but how much crap are they dealing with behind the scenes let alone what gets brought out into the open? These people are volunteering thier time, effort and energy to run the board under the Cap's and VaBusa's supervision - why do we constantly feel the need to antagonize and attack them? Not saying that they don't go a little overboard sometimes - we all do - but how much crap can we push on a Mod and expect them to take? Isn't this at the heart of what cause Rubb to back off and take a break?
Sorry all, I just don't understand... rant off...
