Moderators Overmoderating?

[why?]

real names on the net are dumb, they make it far far too easy to find peoples real life info, which can lead to real life problems.

Well they are all masochists, so they must enjoy it, right?

IMO, the people that complain about mods on forums have never actually moderated forums before, or at least not forums with a fairly large membership. Forums that don't have at least a somewhat strict staff end up being 4chan.

Wait, is that a bad thing?

I guess my favorite forum being called Khaos Prime though might make me biased.

While I'm glad that there are places like 4chan where you can do whatever you want however you want, I don't want everywhere (or even most places) on the Internet to be like that. I'm glad that there are rules here, and at the forum I currently moderate and the ones I have in the past I've always been pretty tight on the rules.
