I get it. I understand why a moderator exist and what their job is. But a mod in the article comments section deletes my non offensive response to a guy whose only input to the entire article was correcting my typo and calling me an idiot can post that all day long? Huh? I don't get that.
Moderators are limited to the forums. I'm pretty sure all moderation of the front page comments is handled by those who have the ability to post the articles in the first place.
Comments on the front page get auto-moderated after a number of flags, you've got to roll with the hive mind sometimes.
Thank you both for your response. I very much appreciate the feedback. I see I will probably stick in the forums from now on. A lot of people in that 2DS Nintendo thread are cut throat!
