the political correctness and do gooders have gone too far

There is no God in Buddhism, only great teachers, so if we all become Buddhists can we then discuss religion? Ha!

I recently got Mod-ed because I wrote the word God in one of my posts.
It wasn't negative, it wasn't positive. But the post got removed. It was part of a one liner.
Seems to me, the rules are as clear as the mud inside my wheel arches.
How do I become a Mod?

Don't write God (sic)!

That will start you on the road to perfection at least. :D ;)

However, mods are not perfect either. There have been cases of mods being cast back into the realm of mere mortal and even banned. None of us are immune, and I am guilty in this very thread, but there have also been parts of this thread that I have found personally offensive. Not that the comments offended my political correctness, these were comments that I found personally offensive and that impact upon my daily life.

On a more important note my 6 pack became a 12 pack, converted to Aud it's 1.72 each, how much do you pay in Oz now :p

Seems to me, the rules are as clear as the mud inside my wheel arches. - No matter how even handed and consistent the Mods try and be, we can never please everyone all the time. Remember all the Mods spend a considerable amount of their own time trying to uphold the values and rules of this forum as best we can. It's not a perfect science and we do try hard. Getting slagged off for it isn't what most of us signed up for, so a little appreciation occasionally goes a long way.

Not slagging off, am perplexed by the whole issue.
How many Mods are there?
I'll be a Mod, I've got plenty of time on my hands!
