Heavy handed moderation of this forum
Am I the only that feels the moderators are a bit heavy-handed? Also am I the only that feels the moderators should be more communicative, and transparent. They should have to tell you why for every post they delete, instead of blanket deletion and one message regarding one post. Also they should be require to answer inbox messages as well. I would just like to see more communication from the Mods. It sure looks like crap to returning players when 3/4 of the discussions have been closed by the moderators.

Take a look at the Blizzard official forums sometime - periodically there is a lock/ban fest there.

If a thread gets seriously out of hand before they can intervene, they shouldn't have to make 50 posts to justify cleaning the thread up.
In the end, if people moderated themselves better, there probably wouldn't be so many closed threads.
The MODs here bend over backwards to help the player base find info on a daily bases and when corrected they admit the mistake and fix it ASAP, something that has fallen on the way side in other places not to be mentioned.
Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.
I am grateful @Mariah locked the thread because of where the commenters were taking it. And her statement of “I think this thread has run its course” was factual, not opinion.

Either way, I’m still grateful that thread was closed.

Example:
Opinion- I think this thread has run it's course. NOT VALID
Fact-"This thread is being locked because XXXXX broke rule # (whatever)", or "subject matter discussion is against the UO ToS", or "Thread is being locked because of constant trolling of posters". VALID
See the difference between the VALID reasons, and "I think this has gone on long enough".
I like this!
And yall are way too soft. I like the statements at the bottom of closed posts.
