Alright, I'm not an admin but I'll try to contribute in some areas.
I'm a forum moderator, yes, but you want me to do spell-check on everyone's post? I did a moderator survey back when it was just me and HDGamer, and the most requested action was spell checking everyone's posts.... You know how long that would take?
I'm more than willing to turn the basic patch-notes, or admin posts into more scripted letters, it's something I can do, but isn't being casual and talking to you such as "this post" more friendly?
Or do you want strict admins with the analogy of us being head teachers in a school of disgruntled children?
I'm in the spirit of "Roleplay Everything Everywhere" it's something I've been saying on this server since I started... ask vladic, he puts it in all his posts... So if you want it roleplayed more out on here are the Admins the Government? and why are there government in UNMC/Police?
Nitpicking on "spelling" is just crude... we need feedback to grow, to become better for/with the community. Is spelling and grammar going to make us better? or just please the grammar police?
The useful feedback is that such as slots, desync, restart times, etc.
As for hidden posts!
i'll hide (not delete) posts that are not where they should be... silly posts on the police complaints, or report a player. That way the other admins can see what you've done, and possibly warn you if you continue the same act in the future.

- On a roof in Kavala
Got mine out yesterday, I shit you not the police flocked to us the moment they saw £3,000,000 on wheels. Had about 5 cars chase me when my intentions were to secure a HEMMT to Kavala, had the police Hellcat on me too. All police died, simply by crashing into each other, there's a video on our gang post, pretty amusing. We took out a .50 cal for the Hellcat, didn't down it though
The irony being, when all these police got involved with chasing me as an ifrit, they let 1.5mil of drugs sold in a police-less Kavala anyway, so we got our mission done without worrying about our ifrit!

Being constructive - Yeah, screw becoming a glorified spellchecker. It's actually pretty insulting to edit someone's post for grammatical errors. None of us are perfect.
As for locking / deleting posts etc, personally I only really hide or remove dupe posts and spam - If something is getting out of hand then I will have a word because as Neo says, we could be strict and remove the fun from the forum.
I'm of the belief that community members should be privy to pretty much all the info when it comes to developments and their suggestions and input are important. There is a slight flipside to this though which is the admins do need to keep certain things quiet as there are other communities that steal ideas so a big fanfare before including them into the game / forum is not always a good call - It's what keeps Altislife.co.uk number 1.
I've said from way back before I was a forum mod that I believe the community should be welcome to have full input, I personally see the validity of community members commenting on player reports etc BUT if I see a flame war or a thread that is so fucking long that it will scare the admins off, I will try and trim the fat... But often the comments are a good indication to the admins of how an individual is seen by other members of the community.
In terms of the forum, I want it to be a fun and friendly place, the real heart of the community. We are all just people playing a game and I think sometimes there can be bad feeling spill over into the real life side of the forum.
Anyhoo... Love to all.

Hello! Great server and community. Actually, this place is the best choice for Altis Life.
The only thing I think we(for now) need is some way to protect your vehicles from being Chopped. Insurance maybe? Blow up the Chop Shops? Feels like you should be able to do that.
I also wanted to "bitch" about the prices of certain vehicles, but it doesn't matter. No. I have to. The Ifrit(BatMobile) is crazy expensive now. Please! WE are poor. Give us a break!
Cheers lads!

Move server slots 100 or 90 I understand the new server is stronger and what not but that doesn't mean you max it out. When the server was originally 100 it probabl should have been 70-80
TO add the intro and outro are unneeded talk about resource management -.-. Its cool and all but you get tired of it about the 2nd time and it just becomes an annoyance. Ive noticed a significant increase in lag since this implementation

Yes, but it is so easy for someone to just walk up, lock pick, drive away and then poof! I don't like random punches to my family jewels just because I went in to buy an Altis Kebab. The thing is that I think we need better protective measures for our vehicles. Profits have decreased and prices increased in some parts. For better and for worse. #ProtectionForMyCar2k15!The way to protect your vehicles from being chopped is to take care of them when you bring them out.
I just think that if I invested ALOT of money in a vehicle, I should be able to protect it without packing a .45 in my pants.

Reverend woz 'ere.
The 2 main problems are quite serious in the fact they can produce a lot of problems in game, and sometimes it is unplayable.
Desync
Although this can happen due to internet problems on the players side, I believe a lot of desync is happening because of the server. The other day our Gang was doing some operations and doing a convoy in 6 trucks, 3 of us died blew up and lost our gear due to desync. Also sometimes at peek times players disappear and stutter around the map. this is not my internet, I am wired to my router and I get 25-30 ping to the server. also being in the UK I have better connection to the DC.
Unable to access anything
This issue may seem odd, although it happened to two of our gang members over the past 3 days. We was in the middle of processing oil and after we had done, one of our gang members could not use his scroller to access anything. He could not process he could not access his vehicle nor could he drive anyone else's vehicle. this forced him to relog and causing problems.
Although I know you are constantly updating the server and making weekly updates for players on the server, which is unique as I know the admin team are very keen to keep the server up and running with the very best up to date things on the server, which in some cases is awesome, but I believe working on the stability of the server is a priority and should be at the top of your list. I'm sure that many other people could agree they would rather see increased stability rather than more updated

A couple ideas that came up just recently to improve the community:
Taking in reportee's stance into consideration in unban appeals., this makes a lot of sense since the penalties applied should be enough to force a change in the players stance. If they individual who initially was upset by a players actions, it should be open to them to offer at least a recommendation of improvement.
OR referencing/talking to the community more in the forums. Sometimes it feels like talking to a brick wall. If you're going to deny something, say it and why. If it's obvious and somewhere, just link it. Hopefully offering the common decency of "replying" in some areas (especially the suggestions section) may mean that more intelligent folks than I will start giving better and more elaborate suggestions but at the moment people are too apathetic to even bother posting... since seemingly nothing ever comes of any post made there.
Taking swifter action (giving higher priority) to unbanning false bans, as a sign of professionalism.
Making the administration processes more transparent, also as a sign of professionalism.
