Since it is a frequent question I thought I might offer some insight on the subject.
Rule number one; don't be a whiner about it. Chances are if you are in moderation it is because you really pissed off Slinky by breaking a rule or multiple rules.
You either continued posting on a subject he closed down, quoted a post that broke a rule or tried to be cute and circumvent a rule.
Or you were just really stupid and broke a simple and obvious rule so the staff knows they cannot trust you not to do it again.
In my opinion most of the people in moderation belong there although there are some who maybe made one mistake and are otherwise solid citizens.
My best advice if you are in moderation is to not bitch about it constantly.
It could be worse.
