I already understand how the system works. You have a long list of rules that could be condensed down to ten bullet points, and those rules are interpreted differently by each mod. None of the mods are trained or paid, they are just randoms like the rest of us with no extra skills, only their own interpretation of the rules. And no one moderated the moderators.

Well thats just not true livia, mods do reply to plenty messages about infractions and any other queries, im sure plenty of members can confirm this I've done so many many times as have all the mods and its posted about in admin plenty.
No none of us are paid but we do have plenty of experience and skills moderating this forum (and others) and dealing with a massive amount of other things that pop up many that none of you are even aware of.
The rules are there as a guideline but for most things nothing can be set in absolute stone due to the different scenarios and rule breaks on here, the same goes for infractions and bans, mods do at times use thier own discretion but all of us see any infractions and bans that are given out which also adds to my next point about no one moderating the mods, again nothing is done without all of us seeing it, theres a thread automatically generated for every single warning or infraction that is given out and many of those threads have large discussions in them some resulting in infractions and bans being reversed.
Theres also a shortened version of the rules if its a big deal for you to read the ling version.
In all honesty, you say you know how the system works then go on to post things that are simply not true.
I think the mods on here do a great job and get little to no thanks for it, most of the time they get nothing but **** and most complaints tbqh are from people that break a rule but cant handle the consequences of it.
