Question to the mods

Why are some controversial threads allowed to go on for days and some are deleted immediately? Seems inconsistent to me. Either controversial threads are allowed or they aren't.

You started a thread that combined both GUNS and RELIGION - 2 no-no's in one!

Why not post at "The Blaze"...you will find lots of like minded people there.

You started a topic about the pope and guns. Did you really think that was going to fly? It would have eventually been deleted on the old boards too.

Of course. It SHOULD HAVE BEEN deleted. But other controversial threads are allowed to go on and on and on. That's not consistent moderating.

It's always been inconsistent. It won't change.

I do think that certain people are targeted more than others by webbies. Certain people can post a topic and certain people can't.

I don't have the answer.

Yes, that's it. It depends on the person starting the thread, not the content of the thread. That's a bias that the mods have and it's not proper to moderate a forum that way.

The more complaints they get about a poster, the more they're watched. It's not too hard to figure that out.
