In my experience on FlyerTalk the moderators have performed well to move threads to a more appropriate forum for discussion, have removed inappropriate, offensive posts that were creating thread friction, and advised members of posts violating terms of FlyerTalk.
I do not know if there is heavy-handed moderation and inappropriate moderator actions. I personally do not know details of any of these cases. While I consider myself a long-time member of the FlyerTalk family, I have ignored threads that descend into infighting and I have never paid much attention to squabbling about moderators.
I have served on a a couple of teacher/education related California and National policy-making boards and I believe I have a good ability to listen to different viewpoints, then find the information necessary to make a knowledgeable and informed decision on issues that impact members.
