Moderators have a job of being objective, which a few on here do not subscribe too. They should only be working in the shadows enforcing the rules of conduct nothing more.
Deflated? Even if it did, you'd have to agree that it regenerated with more force than it had in either thread.

As far as interaction from moderators, they are volunteers with as much interest or more than any of us on the Forum. Moderators who never contribute to the content of a Forum are essentially useless to enforcement. Just their presence is a deterrent to a great percentage of those who may cause issues just because someone is watching and they know it.

Then there are those members who don't care, become trolls and undermine the spirit of the Forum for their own pleasure until they are banned. And to be honest, we never miss them

Say I started a thread saying hey erbody look at my truck. You looked at my truck and your opinion was it sucked. So as a mod you locked the thread and said this guys truck sucks and I don't like it. If the majority of people thought it was neat they'd be all "hey wtf".

You lost me... I get the general direction you're going, but are you talking about the person who locked your first thread? Lol

How does one say objective if they are taking sides? The only way to do it is expressing your opinion as a member and enforcing the rules and rules only as a MOD. Its the only way I see it.

They wouldn't lock it simply because people thought it sucked. If it got into a huge name calling, disparaging, Wrestlemania 2013 they probably would.

You're the biggest abuser of the (this) system as it sits, right now. Figures you'd pipe in "unobjectively"...
