Thread: Moderator

    I want to complain about a moderator named Edge- in the politics subforums. As a moderator, one should not express political opinions or take a side in a heated discussion thread, contributing to the escalation of emotions. A moderator should be completely neutral, at most provide information. Once you've decided on a side in the political map, you are not fit to moderate as it clouds your judgment. Moreover, picking a side in a discussion between users tips the scales in a side's favor and paints the thread as biased towards one end, as some users would have the feeling that they are backed up by someone as esteemed as a moderator, who's also in charge of enforcing the rules, letting them express themselves much more freely than the other side.

    Much like how you were quick to shut down a discussion in the cinematic forum, due to panicked complaints here, i expect you to do the same in this case.

    That only holds on forums that moderator is moderating. So for Off-Topic that is Flarelaine and Rozz.

    Edge is not a moderator in GenOT, Politics, or the Cinema forums. He does not have any say in moderation there and is participating just as any other user would.
    Limited Availability this week - please PM another Global. Thanks!

    for moderation questions/concerns, please contact a global:
