And often you have been quite on the ball in my opinion. However in this situation you are severely mistaken. You cannot just bleat out mod bias without any examples...even if we've had previous discussions. If evidence of mod bias from a complainant is not forthcoming then it is and should be discounted. Riding the bandwagon is not a good thing.

No, it would get logged. You would just have to report the deletion of the thread until another mod saw it (you might have to report it several times though), at which point the first mod would probably be in some extremely serious trouble.

I'd agree with you if you weren't wrong in this case.

Everyone who really follows it knows exactly what Con's talking about. It shouldn't, and doesn't, have to be explained, mostly because the last time someone spoke about it the thread got locked.

I feel like if there were less people complaining and watching every mods move and criticizing them, they would be able to do their jobs better, i speak from moderating experience on other websites, games, etc and really the hardest part is when you're questioned about something you know very well about and are told you're wrong. IMO just give them a break and let them do their jobs.

They could. And then you file a GHR. And they could also try to hide that. And then you send an email to the admins. And then the mod sees themselves without mod powers.

Both post/thread deletions as well as any GHRequests are logged.

Clearly the entire mod staff is working together in order to widen the mod-player gap, keeping themselves in power.
It may get logged but they're all working together so it does't matter.

No. There can and have been actual problems on this site. Leaving those problems alone would be a bad idea.

Is this a recurring complainant or a new one? Either way there needs to be reference to either previous presented evidence or new evidence being added to the case.

Good grief...this is basic shit here...otherwise anyone can say what the fuck they wanted and would necessitate giving equal weight given to a bunch of shit slinging and a well presented and documented case. These are basics of debate...this is a debate site.

This is technically possible - the deletion would show up in the logs, but AFAIK threads which have been permanently deleted (as opposed to moved to the evidence locker) can't be recovered. If you're worried about it, send a GHR instead - those can't be deleted, and absolutely everything we do gameside is logged.

As far as I know, though, the "deleted thread by biased mod" thing has never happened. If it did, the mod in question would almost certainly be booted from the team immediately.

And now I have to go delete a score of threads in Moderation complaining about my bananaphobic bias. :P
