Ahem. Allow me to step in here and participate, if you will allow:
abill_uk. Dude. Chill. No, seriously! Chill.

They're moderators. This is their forum, and only our forum for as much as they allow it to be our forum. When you are in someone's house, you politely suggest and ask for things. You don't just open the front door, wander past them and start adjusting their furniture and eating their food without permission.

I complain a LOT. A lot. hehe.. a loooot these days. I'm certain that I'm a pain in the ***--but whatever a moderator tells me or wants, I figure it's their home and I'm obliged to either listen or go somewhere else.

I suggest you settle down and politely let them know about something and then have the patience to either let them handle it or else accept that they feel like leaving it that way. Alternatively, you can go find other places to hang out or even start your own. If you think you know better how to run a forum, I'm sure you'll do a bang-up job.. otherwise, just exercise a little politeness and patience.

God knows I have little patience but knowing it's their site helps.
