There were several threads in the past few months that I have contributed to that were taken off without notice to me or any other poster...

It used to be that a moderator would be kind or considerate enough to send a private message to explain why a particular thread was pulled, but now they just yank them without any notification whatsoever.

And what gets me is that they yank some rather useful threads from the board while:

~ Leaving some that are rather sexual oriented, racist or discriminatory
~ Letting some posters post revolting insults about other posters, allowing other posters to lambaste someone who is even looking for advice but in the end get insulted and ridiculed for something they thought was necessary to know.....
~ Letting some posters get away with swearing and letting them go through the swear filter without even a warning.....

What gives!!!
And I think that some MODs are biased on their views of what should be allowed here and what shouldn't; I think some of them think it is entertaining to let people get away with insulting others on a seemingly anonymous message board....
I Think the MODs are taking sides and showing alot of favoritism toward some posters while trying to shut out others on the board.......

I guess they love to abuse the power they have.......gee! How power hungry can some of them be?

Yes, we're biased. We're biased in the sense that we show no respect for someone who has a gripe with what we do and doesn't bother to point out which threads one is taking issue with, via a PM or post report to mods, but chooses to publicly whine about mods instead.

If you have concerns with modding or have questions about threads, PM me or one of the mods and we'll address the issue for you. But we will always continue to ignore and delete stuff like this thread here, with exception to this current one, which I'll leave out in hopes that others read and know how to reach us with their concerns.
