And to give a serious reply
Most of the time people post like that to be helpful to other members; although the line between being helpful and backseat moderating is a very fine line to walk. I always encourage members when they have or see problems to use the report post feature. General "there are problems" or "there are problem members" posts around the site do tell us your mood and view, but they give us very little to nothing to actually work with in order to clearly see how you are viewing the situation. We also can't see everything, giving us a heads up really helps (even if a mod has posted in a thread that need not mean that they've seen every reply or that they've interpreted actions or words in teh same way that you have - this is also why we have a mod team so that we don't get locked into one one persons view on matters).
The more info you can give hte moderators the better we can help the community. Granted we might not always agree with every member (its impossible to please everyone) but we do our best to be fair.
No names no pack drill, but wouldn't it be fun if only moderators and ad ministrators jacked people up for posting in the wrong threads and other "shudder" infractions? Just sayin.
