Gladys Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Actually, never mind..... So, you have had second thoughts about accusing mods of abusing their status by exercising their political bias. You really do have a bit of an obsession about this.

I didn't see MTP's post, but I have no political bias. I hate everyone. Equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I for one would love to know the perceived political bias or direction that MTP thinks I, or Amadeus, singly or together, with or without the site owner and the other moderators, Are steering MF. I thought it was posters who did that. Whatever any of you may imagine 1. None of the moderators read everything 2. 99% of the time moderation is reactive, in other words because a report is received. The odd 1% is where one of us spots something really bad and set it invisible to save MF from unpleasant consequences. 3. Very few posts are moderated or set invisible or deleted. Perhaps 2 or 3 each month. 4. There is a discussion about what to do. Warnings are not doled out willnilly or on a whim. Neither are posting suspensions or member bans. 5. I've no idea what the political views of the site owner or the other moderators are. I've never asked and they've never told me. At least one, and possibly two, Ive never met and don't know who they are in real life. 6. Many reports are the subject of no action. We aren't arbiters of taste, grammar, political correctness and our only intervention is when there is risk of litigation against MF. 7. Some posters go out of their way to post in a controversial or combative style, others are confrontational, to other posters or the moderating team. We rarely intervene or take action. There are good reasons for this. We have no wish to end up acting as "common law editors" much preferring the protection conferred on MF and the moderating team and site owner by the Electronic Comunications legislation, EU directive and UN treaty.

llap Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 There is political bias in that the forum's most prolific libertarian is permanently banned for reasons so trumped up and vague that even he doesn't know them. It's ironic given that the forum's moderators then exercise their freedom of speech over on IOM News and Politics on FB by replying to the said person and are treated respectfully. I know which discussion group I prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llap Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 When did liking rubbish "art" become a doctrine of libertarianism? I don't think it did. I think you need to do some research on political philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
