Mkay. I have tried this once before, and I am not one to give in without a fight, so anyone who deletes this is not saving their own ass, it WILL appear again, until I am heard. Period...
First of all, items like this:
I have noticed with certain clarity on here, that when one or more people do not agree with something that a mod takes time to post about in a thread he or she DID NOTHING TO CREATE, the thread always gets locked. Oh sure, according the "high council of mods" there is a long laundry list of offenses committed on the part of us, but never is it shown, explained, or reasoned out, nor proven! All of the bad posts are then carefully removed to make it look one sided, and I am fed up with this crap!
We are shut down, and told it is for our own good. Not wanting to hear what someone has to say on the opposite side of your opinion is not for the betterment of us, it is to keep you from looking like a moron. You have failed on that one. I may be the only one saying this out loud, but I am NOT the only one noticing the abuses!
Another thing in this thread that goes hand in hand with mod abuses, is the fact that certain users on these boards are abusive to others and towards myself personally, openly, without restraint, ALL THE TIME, and nary a word is edited, deleted, or a comment made to them. The mods repeatedly have told me to take my disagreements into pm with the person I am in conflict with, but then these same mods post directly to me in threads, making me look like the bad guy (and a fool), while this same dinglehopping idiot runs rampant with his mouth.
Seriously, you guys have lost it somewhere along the way. You have put me in the penalty box. You have deleted my posts that deserved it (they are few). You have told me in pms to shap up or ship out. You have told me OPENLY to behave. You ARE NOT, and HAVE NOT done that to the other people on these boards who seem to have constant social problems.
My reputation on this board is one of outspokenness and emotional randomness. Many people here respect me for my honesty. Many of you out there do not respect me for it.
Well, I am being honest, and I am tried of being ignored about it. Please put a stop to the deleting of my comments to better adjust your arguments against what you see as my misbehavior. Please stop giving moderator powers to people who have done nothing for this site but sow chaos time and again, in plain sight, and you turn a blind eye to it. It is far easier to justify YOUR actions, when I have no data to show what my actions were. That's called fraud. It stinks. Fix it.

SOT, the locking, deleting or merging threads is a common complaint across all forums. Whether they be for software, gaming, general talk, etc. This is a private forum so we reserve the right to delete or close any thread that we feel violates our guidelines or does not contribute to a thread.
You talk in vague terms with no specific examples so I can't see any of this behavior you are claiming without links. And no, I have no idea "who" you are referring to. We single out no one as this site receives upwards of 3500+ posts a day. There is no way we can monitor every situation. I would be happy to look into this matter for you, since I see no PM's in my box and I am the Site Admin. If you have an issue please feel free to PM or email me at [email protected] so that I can look into the situation.

The mods do take action, but they cannot be everywhere. If you want something done just PM them. It is easy and you will almost always see some sort of action.
Edit: Here was a old PM I have about the "What do you believe in thread?"

However, if more people find that this topic isn't to their fancy, it will have to be closed. One dissident user isn't enough to lock a thread, but a mob of angry posters is

Regardless, my decision will not be affected by this user, nor will any decisions made by the moderators. These vocal posters only end up hurting themselves.
Thanks for your patience I'll definitely be letting our friend know that the behavior he's shown isn't regarded too highly by the staff. In the meantime, do your best to ignore him. I'll see what I can do with the topic.
Thanks,
