Disputing Biased Moderating, and an Infraction from a Mod who is personally involved.

    First things first.

    A moderator decided to steer the thread back on course. Fair enough. Problem is that he/she did so in a less than evenhanded way.

    I have sent a critical pm to magicb, and await a reply.

    In the meantime, a second mod has interfered in this process, and dished out an infraction to me.

    This second mod is personally involved in the dispute, having contributed with irrelevant tittle tattle about the personal life of Sean Kelly in a thread.

    The post he/she has infracted me for is a post by a third mod, in the same off-topic tittle-tattle vein.


    Given that the first mod invited PM's in the first instance, what's the problem with allowing that process to take place ?

    Why should that mod not dish out the infraction ?

    Why did he/she not do so ?

    Why should it be done by a moderator who is involved in the dispute ?

    Are you disputing the card?

    If so that should be dealt with before any wider complaints about moderation, and you need to start a thread in the Dispute Resolution Forum confirming you have attempted, but failed, to resolve this directly with the mod via PM

    That thread will deal with the card only so please do not bring up any wider complaints about moderation. They can be discussed here once your dispute is resolved

    Are you confirming you do not wish to dispute the card?

    No, not unless they explicitly agree to it beforehand.

    I am disputing the card.

    I have discussed it with the moderator in question, who evaded any meaningful discussion, and told me to take it here.

    I asked him three and a half hours ago if he had any objections to me publishing the PM's, he still hasn't responded even though he is online.

    3 and a half hours is insufficient time - you made that post after 2am!. Give it at least a day

    If you are dispuingt the card I will close this thread. You need to start a new thread here

    You can post PMs relevant to the card (and no other PMs) in the Dispute thread

    Please only raise issues relating to the card. Your wider issues can be addressed back here once the dispute is resolved
