Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought you were trying to compare the Lobsters moderators to Dang in a positive way, something not really emphasized in the top comment

  Pretty much any complaint about moderation from anyone always has another side to the story. At least two of the tales of woe posted in this discussion have shown that the user was not in fact blameless.

    If that what tptacek meant he could have said that instead of saying "I don't understand, I don't get it" ahah

      Even that is not what I meant. The top comment on that thread consists of a complaint that self-promotion rules appear inconsistently enforced. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't; I don't know. But that doesn't contradict what I said about Lobsters moderation. This is just another example of the tired message board trope of blowing any complaint about anything into a blanket condemnation. Nuance is boring to write, strident declamation isn't. Unfortunately, for the reader, it's the opposite.
