In your thread, you made this suggestion to me:
Thanks for the suggestion. First...I never have, and never will report a post. You guys are used to running a board like a religious organization. I don't care to. I'm fully aware of the difference between a heavily moderated board, vs. a lightly moderated board. I've been on both, and I notice that Right leaning boards tend to have the most heavy handed brand of moderation. I'm also acutely aware that all message boards run on a 'take it or don't' model. If someone doesn't like the way a board is run, they are free to leave. Myself included. I'm perfectly willing to walk away from this board and never look back, if my wisdom isn't welcome here.
In this instance, I'm still trying to discern the ever contradictory parameters of the moderation here. Especially in the tPF threads. A week or so I learned (I think) that the OP can have any member removed from their thread for any reason. Said member will be removed without debate over a rules violation. It's solely up to the OP. Maybe I misunderstood the explanation?
In the thread I linked, that would mean that you would have asked a mod to give me a warning for a comment I made, that was actually a direct quote of a comment that was made earlier by another member.

Now, I suppose I could thank you or Common for being so lenient, while not being lenient with another member.
On the other hand, I would ask you why you opted to ignore the infractions of other members when you were requesting actions?
Again...I'm trying to discern the rules/regs here. I find it odd that mods are so sensitive, that there is no public question of their actions. I have never seen that on any other heavily moderated board.
Am I accurate thus far? Did you start the wheels in motion for the imbalanced moderation in your thread? Do mods take no action unless they are contacted? In this instance alone, it seemed amusing, as I was warned for a comment that was an exact copy of a comment made earlier in the thread.
Maybe it had nothing to do with your input.
My comment broke no rules, but I know rules don't matter in tPF threads
Maybe this belongs in the one on one debate forum. I'm not sure.
