I think that this app should be 12+ rather than 9+ and give users a little more freedom to express themselves (though there is already a good bit, some moderators go crazy with censoring) based on the fact that most all users are 12+ and the game the forums are based around is 13+

Can you give us some examples, please? I think all of us mods would like to know details - I know I'd like someone to tell me if they thought I had overstepped my bounds when I modify a post to keep it okay for the youngin's.
As for pg-9 vs pg-12, is there really a difference? I can't think of anything that would be appropriate to say around a 12 year old that isn't appropriate around a 9 year old.
I'm interested to know the "chewing out" mods as well. The only time I've been negative when censoring was when I censored my own post lol. I usually try to leave a polite note with a or
