Unixmad doesn't watch Darlene throwing around her rights like a wrecking ball

Then dont blog

The lounge does not have that much different rules. You can just post links there

Okay, good argument. I never actually bothered with the lounge because I got the impression that it was all offtopic. If we get to flag our blog posts with several levels of appropriate-for-kids-ness, that would be awesome.

unixmad is very familiar with what I do.

Either you misread it, or I miswrote it. The problem isn't the rules, the problem is the rule-keepers. In short, you.

Moon Goddess has been a mod for long enough that someone would have managed to get Unixmad to reverse her decisions if he had not been fully supporting them, which he is.

I don't get the impression that Unixmad is on the forum long enough to get more than a general idea of what Darlene does.

And I do get the impression that Darlene does a lot of moderation based on her own preferences and not the forum rules.
That would be ideal I believe.

I didnt misread it, and I know what you meant. My point is that if you cant rant and rave in an appropriate mannor, then just dont

It would be appropriate. By the rules. You on the other might not like it, and deem it inappropriate, as you so frequently do.

Whether something is appropriate or not is an opinion. You moderate based on opinion more often than not.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooring.
I can imagine it now. I write a long blog entry about forum moderation and BAM, it gets deleted because of ONE WORD... but really got deleted because of the topic.

It takes less effort to delete a post/topic rather than editing the content.

I am pretty sure that Moon Goddess is in contact with Unixmad about forum issues often enough that you can assume that she doing a good job at representing his stance on moderation, and the rules are set by Unixmad to support her moderation. Has he ever overturned decisions made by her?

The fact that we even get to discuss this topic shows some progress in terms of Darlene's moderation but in my opinion SHE isn't the problem when it comes to moderation, it's the fact that she defends another mod no matter how outright unjust his actions are.

As far as I see it, Unixmad is rarely on the forum so he has Darlene to enforce rules. And even when he is on the forum its only for Graal announcements and such and never really to communicate (beyond those announcements). So things like complaints about Darlene just die somewhere.
I would be honestly surprised if we weren't allowed to discuss this.
