So I come to the conclusion that most of bad moderation feedback on this site comes from not messaging a Ninja instead.Well there's certainly a correlation there. Anecdotally, I'd say that the number of relatively new members (i.e., not very active or only this site for less than a year or two) who receive a warning and then create a thread about bad moderation without messaging a moderator first is close to 100%.
As you get into the range of threads about moderation created by older members, though, that number drops. A lot of these threads (such as coolmike's consistency thread from earlier this week) certainly have a lot more merit and warrant a good deal of explanation and discussion, even if we don't completely agree with the OP's conclusion.

Also it seems people are less bothered by bans, correct? Can mods lock threads without warning or ban?I think that most of the time -- definitely not always, but most of the time -- when a post is bad enough to warrant a ban instead of a warning, the user either knows it's coming or realizes it was appropriate. That, combined with the fact that we simply are issuing fewer bans in total these days, is likely the reason that there seem to be fewer complaints about bans recently.
Oh, and yes, we lock threads without warnings/bans all the time.
