I'm not much into the cops analogies, those are way off the point IMO. Really, we're just some guys on the forums with a few extra drop down menus.
I can understand folks taking issue with a moderation action, that's fine with me. However, I've yet to see any claims of a moderator intentionally acting abusive pan out. Folks are just too willing to blame someone else's bias or "bad eggs" before anything else, particularly without anything to back it up other than some moderations, their imagination, and some buddies who run around saying "hell yeah" but don't actually know anything other than what their friend told them.
That's a real problem isn't it? Gamespot is a BIG place. The bigger the town, the more cops you're going to need aren't you? Unfortunantly, when you employ more, you increase the likelyhood one or a few of them are going to be bad eggs and abuse power without remorse.

It's like getting tazzered.
Just because tazzering is non-lethal, it's now used and abused.

The problem is people are too sensitive these days. Honestly,the things people react to are quite often comical. Just look at America's issue with lawsuit abuse.
I totally agree with you. I think people are WAY to sensitive and it's purely BS.
I mean, I think there should be some boundaries, like racism, sexual and religious preferences, but the rest should be pretty much fair game.
