[Debate]Are the NS forums Biased?

[Grande Republic of Arcadia]

SO this is simple are the NS forums Biased towards one specific group, whether it be mods or players.
So it is the question the debate starts:

Here is what I have to say,

Yes, I have been reported fr things that shouldnt be reportable, then you have players who act like your inferior just because your not a liberal or conservative. Then I have seen some of the mods who are way left who will 'warn' or '2 day ban' players for expressing their right wing views. Then you have some left and right I have come across who avoid to see reason, when is comes to the BS bathroom laws, Obama, clinton, trump, and Fascism

The forums exist on a server running a computer operating system.

By its very nature, that makes it an inanimate object running a program. Inanimate objects cannot be biased.

Ergo, Nationstates is not biased. QED.

[Great Kauthar]

Well, i would say the rules and the moderation team are biased.

If you say you support the killing of a group of people, you can get redtexted. It's a whole set of opinions that are banned from being used.

Programs and machines certainly can be biased. Look at a slot machine, it is biased towards the house. The house has much greater odds of winning than the player.

[Crockerland]

Anyone who voted no should post "I disagree with transgenderism" and see what happens.

that is opening Pandora's box right there

[Outer Sparta]

OP is not sufficient enough.

[Great Franconia and Verana]

No not really. Some people think the Mods are out to get any right-wing opinion holders when in reality they will censor any kind of rule breaking activity, be it from the left or right.

Does that really make the machine biased though?

I mean, in that case, it's merely doing what it was programmed to do and has no choice otherwise. It's like saying a Cessna 152 is biased because it's hard to fit two fat people in it.

I am talking about the people on the NS forums

[Big Brain City]

Yes.
If the bias turns against me, then we'll all learn why the forums aren't the only thing in the universe.

Then ask the right questions. I'm going by what you asked.

[Kalosia]

No, some opinions are simply more popular than others. Having a less popular opinion does not make everyone else "biased".

You disagree and then put forth a generalization which defames Muslims, people who support the choice of abortions, immigrants, and sexual and gender minorities...so then you get warned.

I've never done that before

[Ifreann]

If the mods are just suppressing and censoring people with opinions they don't like, how come all the people saying that aren't already DOS?

[The United Universe]

If you get banned, it's probably because you made a personal attack. However, if a flag will primarily upset people, you'll also possibly be banned.
