I know of one at least in the last couple of months that said he was leaving due to excessive moderation.

[Serious] Can we have less overall CB moderation?

I'm fairly sure the moderation style stems from the fact that the board

If penalties are getting longer for some, it's due to the number of moderations in the last 30 days

Looking at the actual stats, we're seeing a much lower penalty percentage and higher warnings, edit required, and info

Why would you guess so many posters leave and cite moderation as the reason for doing so?

Frankly I think this attitude is a problem and indicative of what I’m trying to express here.

When you have TCuz and me agreeing on something like this, you maybe should rethink your approach.

It's a discussion board? Aren't differing opinions kind of the point?
