Deleted Posts

So... after I disagreed with a moderator, I had a thread deleted. I asked about it and received a response. Then, I had a post deleted for "being disrespectful" despite that post being absolutely nothing compared to nearly every post on the boards that are ignored. There are some clear signs of bias showing through once you begin to disagree with someone, even when you post things that are 100% accurate. This is a serious issue and will result in far less actual discussion. This is honestly probably a huge cause of people not being constructive because they feel targeted or that some people will not only disregard but will actively seek out their posts to report (which happens a lot, you can see this with downvotes all the time) and moderation will support this activity.

I had the same problem a few weeks back. Took my evidence to the boards discord and the person there agreed with me and offered solutions. I even made a post similar to the one you have made here and received nothing. A lot of these mods won’t admit another mod is wrong on the boards, but they’ll do it quickly on the discord. Just take it there.

Another thing I was told in the discord is that Mods look at your commenting history when considering a ban. The person in discord tried to tell me that the deleted threads and comments weren’t personal, but more likely to happen If you have a history of “abusive” comments and threads... which is exactly what personal means, but whatever.

The person in discord then brought up a post over a year old which was deleted because I said “Riot is bad and greedy” or something like that and then said posts like that make moderators more prone to delete future post... which is bad... and dumb...

The person then claimed that he/she understood it was dumb to call out a post over a year old... it was a bizarre interaction, but it ended with an understanding that mistakes were made by the moderator(s) involved. So yeah.

Hope this helps.
