What is up with the heavy handed moderation on this sub?

I got slapped by mods for responding to someone who said that it was "currently impossible to progress without trade" with the comment "this is categorically untrue, see any SSF player" (edit - to be clear, my offending comment was the latter). It was tagged as being a dismissive opinion, and we can't had those I guess. Let's just ignore that my comment wasn't even an opinion, just an objective fact.

Can we get some moderation on the mods themselves?
