I am just curious as to who is the formal moderator of this group, I see many people telling others not do this or that and what is improper and such...


No one is in charge. It's anarchy. Most of do follow common netiquette though, so we are a self moderating community.

You know, stuff like this:

http://www.cs.indiana.edu/docproject/zen/zen-1.0_6.html

If someone is waaaay off-topic (Mac questions in CSA2), cross-posting inappropriately etc. it's normal to get a friendly reminder especially if you're new/unrecognized.

There are some people on the occasional power trip or they're having a bad day... but most mod messages are intended to be helpful to save resources, or to save people from embarrassing themselves by continuously making newbie mistakes.
