I'm with the consensus here, I think. Mods have to stick to the letter of any rules, which themselves have to be sensible (as are those on JF) to ensure that they are not being seen as favouring any individual or group of people. There is always going to be a grey area where it is simply a matter of interpretation, but I hope that the mods are able to explain to people why they consider it necessary to moderate or delete any posts they consider to be against the rules of the forum. That said, I understand pressures on their time, of course.

I also agree that there is no point in moderators (on any forum) making too much fuss about what they do, unless there is a general security issue or some such thing. I can't think what that might be, but there might be, for example, a scam going on where the moderators have to warn the naive against divulging their personal details or something.
