So what exactly IS the difference to complain and a bitching session?

Tone of voice, and redundancy.
Tone of voice is nigh impossible on a form like this. Tone is typically determined by the one reading, more so than the one writing. Even if someone is incredibly careful with the words he or she chooses the comment is still open to interpretation due to the nature of how forum posts are read.
I couldn't count the number of times I've been told I'm upset or angry on a forum when I really wasn't.
Anyway this has been going on since I joined the forum. Unless anything has changed the the majority of the problem lies in the moderation staff not being unified. The rest of the problem lies in both members, and moderators over realizing simple words and assuming doom before doom happens. Sure it's for the greater good but it really pisses people off.
Unless there's some restructuring to the rules and staff hierarchy nothing will change.
