In the recent period, there have been many episodes around our moderators. Several have felt the need to stop - others have (maybe) been thrown out (?).

I have great respect for our moderators and I'm sure they play a significant role in making SO a great place.

I have not - at least not as far as I know - had a lot communication with moderators. An episode or two where a moderator have been involved - but not that much.

From the responses to various "resignation messages" it is my impression that many other SO users have more communication with moderators.

To me, moderators are acting in the shadow - removing stuff that shouldn't be here.

I never get involved.

So I find it interesting how you interact with moderators - so my question is:

How do you interact with moderators? When/how/why is it that you get involved in communication with moderators?
