Moderator Bias and Rule Nazism.
I've reported it before, followed the suggestions given, and am pretty fed up with this. First I'm constantly getting moderated against, I've tried to stay within the rule guidelines but my posts are consistently removed, frequently for rule violations that have left me scratching my head. This is counterpointed with the fact that when I report a post (using every method available to me) absolutely nothing gets done.
This disparity leaves me with one conclusion: Moderator bias. If I report clear rule violations and zilch happens while I get hammered for sneezing the wrong way, I can only conclude that there is bias in the process. For this reason, I'm killing my account- the quality of my posts have dropped due to over-active moderation, and the entirety of posting on this forum has become pointless.
We would hate to lose you as a member, so my suggestion to you would be that you start the same thread in the Member Services Center and discuss your concerns with the Member Services Team. They will look at the reports we are working to see if there is any moderation bias. They are responsible for holding us accountable for how we are moderating the forums. They will also review any actions that have been taken on your posts to see if they were done correctly. We cannot discuss any specific staff actions that have been taken in this forum, but the Member Services Team can discuss with you these actions and can address any concerns or questions that you have.

Because you keep secrets, you avoid accountability.

As oppose to infighting in reports, calling names, member verbally assaulting the member that reported them, wiki's, etc. Did you forget? No thanks.
What I find funny is that only those that don't follow the posting rules are the ones whining about the posting rules.

That is an ad hominem argument, with a strawman thrown in for good measure. Both of which are fallacious.
Now, did anyone advocate open reports? No. That makes your statement a false one.
What I am saying and have said for the past four years is that the culture of secrecy on CF Staff prevents accountability to members.
Do you have a substantive response or not?

Does the privacy policy still have the neat loophole that Admins can disclose what they want, when they want?

We made it clear that this forum is for clarification, not hashing out staff contacts and warnings and infractions.
You go to the MST for that.
I go there to watch robots make fun of bad movies.
And who brought up Staff contacts and warnings and infractions? Why, that would be . . . er . . . Staff!
I would like my question answered explicitly as well as implicitly.

The OP did, CaDan. Is that explicit enough for you?
If the OP would like clarification on the rules in which he's being actioned for, that's one thing. But we're not going to turn this into a review thread for his actions. He can get clarification and then if he has an issue with his staff contacts he can take them to the MST.
Now. Do YOU have anything substantive to add or are you just going to continue to attempt to bait staff?
