I'm not sure I want more moderation....
My belief is that more and more people seem to think that their individual issue applies to everyone, or that they are speaking for everyone. Add in the fact that if they post, they expect an immediate solution, act of contrition, and apology.
Fifteen years ago, the smaller group that was playing was more invested in seeing the game improve, and didn't feel that we were owed anything. (That's a generalization, because there are always outliers.)
Different generation? Millennials? I suppose any explanation is equally valid. I think the safest way to go is that the forum is a reflection of the world we live in at last.
