Mod's in my opinion should not offer comment but ensure that threads are neither offensive, libelous etc.
No doubt this will be deleted but as a member of a number of forums this one is by far the most regulated by mods who seem to be more interested in there own opinions and making sure that everyone complies with them.

Erm, if if it is in bold, it is a moderating comment, if not, it isn't - or are you stating that Mods shouldn't be entitled to have, or air, opinions.

Moderation

Whilst Cable Forum Team members may have other duties, all will be involved in moderating the board to ensure topics, posts, and other behaviour meet with our required standards. Any post which is made in a bold font by a Cable Forum Team member, is a moderating decision and instruction that must be observed by all board users. Bold font posting is not permitted for general forum activity.
Moderation instructions carry equal weight regardless of the team member involved. Do not debate these publicly, or by use of the reputation system. If you wish to challenge, then contact the moderator by PM. If contacting a moderator, remember to be civil.
Team members are entitled to post on the board in their own personal capacity to participate in discussions and offer their own views. Team members will try to avoid moderating in a thread in which they are already involved as a poster, although this may not be possible if other team members are unavailable at the time.
For forum management purposes we reserve the right to move or merge threads or posts and close threads. We can delete content but will normally only do so for matters that are off topic or otherwise breach our rules.

My comment was in line with what I would do if I was unhappy with the service I was receiving from a provider (be it Gas, Electricity, Broadband, TV, or whatever) - whilst I understand that some don't have the option to move, quite a lot do, but seem to just stay, receive what they regard as inappropriate/bad services, and moan a lot.
btw, every one is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts, and your comments on the moderating in this forum is an opinion, not a fact (evidenced by the fact that your comment is still visible, even when you stated your incorrect assumption).
btw2, thank you for commenting on a post from the 13th October and 9 pages ago.......
