Well, yeah. If you don't care about and believe in your position as much as they do, they're going to put more effort in. So either care about it enough to put the work in or stop caring about it enough that it makes you unhappy. Moderation is not always a good thing.

I'd obviously agree moderation is not always a good thing. Problem is it seems that view is not especially consistent when paired with forums where moderation, above and beyond the removal of spam, is implemented as playing an integral role. If exaeta had gotten the memo and just modded everybody as 'troll' - the hip new thing to do, he'd have been all clear. You don't find this system kind of 'touched'?
Nope. We have way more good moderators than bad moderators, though who's good and who's bad on any given day is not a static list. There are plenty of points out there available to correct any moderation worth correcting.
