Please also review our SoylentNews Moderation Guidelines.
As always, we are willing to make changes to the system, but please post examples *with* links to any cases of suspected mod abuse. It's a lot easier to justify changing the system when evidence is in black and white. I also recommend that users make serious proposals on changes we can make. I'm not going to color the discussion with my own opinions, but as always, I will respond inline with comments when this goes live, and post a follow up article a few days after this one

While I wait for any evidence of the contrary, I think the way the moderation is handled on the site is working fine now. I really the way it works.
I just wanted to add that the last couple of months on Soylent have been particularly hospitable. I'm quite happy with the moderation of late. I'm also familiar with the whining AC. He reminds me of a customer I had when I worked in retail that would go from store to store, try to return something he had obviously shrinkwrapped, then act all enraged like we had somehow wronged him. He'd try to use that rage to try to get us to kiss his butt and make the illegal return go through. Despite several attempts over the course of a year he never, to my knowledge, succeeded. That's the image I have in my head when I read these posts by the AC. In fact, just like the AC posing as multiple people, he'd send his wife in a little later to try it again!

Agreed, those people will always be around. I have hospitality and retail background, so for me it's tough, I want to please everyone. But you just can't. = )
