I still have mixed feelings about the moderation here at TFP. It generally seems to be done quite fairly, and I am forced to assume that those who are banned usually deserve it.
One of the things that has always disturbed me is that the control is quite opaque. You don't know all that much about who is in power, and why they did what they did.
When I first came here I was _very_ bothered because comments which were offensive were simply removed without notice. I wrote to halx about it, and found that within the week moderation had changed its style. (or perhaps I just started looking for what was already there, I can never quite trust myself) This gave me a great deal of faith in the system because it reacted to user (my) input, and because it cleared up my primary concern.
as for being banned... well just don't be a dick and you'll be fine.
