I have reported two moderator issues using the feed back system. Nothing said, no reply. I doubt if anyone even looked at it.

If someone did review it, something should have been said back to me,..." the moderator was heavy handed or the poster was off base". But nothing. Now I don't even bother when it happens because I expect the same silent treatment. No disrespect to you Simon or the DPR crew, I have nothing mostly but good things to say about this site, not so much the moderators but you start to lose credibility when you tell people to use a process like the feedback system and do not even respond. It just drives the problem underground and makes you guys look like you are giving lip service.

It seems unfortunate for a complaint "feedback" system to not "close the loop". Such a system would be better called a "feed-upwards only" system, without any knowledge that what eventually rolls "down the hill" bears any relation to expressed thoughts of affected members. Further, note:
