The modding on this board is a fucking disgrace.

It's so bent to the right wing it isn't even pretending to be fair.
Drunk with power.

Won any arguments lately?UGagain wrote:You and Wrayburn need to back right off from imposing your political views here.
If you can't win the argument, your argument stinks. Change your views.
Since you have made this public.UGagain wrote:Sandydragon wrote:There is a process for complaints. If you wish to make one, use it.
You have refused to enter into any dialogue whatsoever.
How is that a process for complaints?
It's just more of your bull shit.

You requested clarification on why you received a warning. It was for ignoring a moderator's instructions. I stated to you, quite clearly, that if you disagreed with my action, you should escalate the complaint to an administrator, as per the rules of the board.
You chose to ignore the process and whine instead. Your call.
Incorrect. You moaned after receiving a warning for not following a moderator's instruction. I am not going to debate with you why you got that warning, the rules are clear.UGagain wrote:Sandydragon wrote:Since you have made this public.UGagain wrote:

You point blank refused to discuss the issues going on here after I offered to do so.
There is no process and you know it.
You want to ban people who you can't win arguments against. You will invent reasons to do so and try to block any means of appeal.
That's the process.
Imagine that. Your demand to not even indirectly criticise your ethos.Sandydragon wrote:Incorrect. You moaned after receiving a warning for not following a moderator's instruction. I am not going to debate with you why you got that warning, the rules are clear.UGagain wrote:Sandydragon wrote:

This is nothing to do with censorship, plenty of posters routinely offer their opinions on here which I don't agree with, or any of the other moderators for that matter. The issue is one of attitude. Be the martyr if you wish, but any action taken against you is because of your attitude to other posters, not for your views.
Crying about it doesn't change that basic fact.

It is everything to do with censorship.
You can't tolerate people who consistently expose your arguments for the nonsense that they are.
You're full of shit.
I didn't agree to you censoring my posts or you banning words.Sandydragon wrote:Those are the rules you agreed to on joining this place. You get to abide by them, just the same as everyone else.UGagain wrote:Imagine that. Your demand to not even indirectly criticise your ethos.Sandydragon wrote:

If you follow the house rules then there is no problem. Perhaps you could ask other left leaning posters how often they have been banned?Zhivago wrote:The problem would be resolved by appointing a representative of The Left to the moderation of this Politics Forum. Moderation requires respect from posters to accept the judgement. It's clear that this is lacking in a few cases. UG is not the only poster to have raised doubts about the impartiality of the mods (valid criticism or not).
Or in fact, better would be to have an election for the mods here. It would make sense for a Politics forum to have democratically selected mods.

You can try to make a martyr case for this if you want, but the proof just isn't there.
The lat time I left the posting rate soared of course.Lizard wrote:The honourable thing to do would be for you to resign from RR in protest. No doubt the vast mass of members will rise in support of you and demand that these terrible mods be fired and that you be begged to return.
