[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I'm suggesting you are arbitrary and inconsistent.[/quote]

That's sort of the nature of the beast. If I don't read every thread, and I don't, I can't treat every post the same. That is the simple reality. Moreover, if you think that any human being is capable of consistently acting the same way over a period of time and in response to thousands of posts, you clearly have a misconception of the capabilities of humans.

The bottom line is that you posted in a thread in which posts were reported due to inappropriate language. I removed those posts, apparently including one of yours. You could have simply reposted using appropriate language. Instead, you are criticizing me for my moderating style. Fine, if that's what is important to you, that's what is important to you. I'm not going to judge your priorities. But, I will point out that if your priorities include completely consistent moderating, this is the wrong forum for you and you will face repeated disappointments unless you adjust your expectations.

I'm not referring to any one specific post, and you're fixating on language when my point has to do with consistency.  The fact is that you delete comments for tone when there is no shortage of examples of much, much worse (often in the same thread), and you shut down threads for going off-topic while other threads go multiple pages without so much as touching on the original subject.

Speaking of language, if you really gave a crap about "inappropriate" language you would use the autocensor function I'm pretty sure your forum software provides (this is VBulletin, right?) [/quote]

This is not VBulletin and the version of the software I am currently running does not have a language filter. I am sure that you would do a much better job than me moderating a forum. I encourage you to follow your true calling and set up your own forum so that your talents can be utilized. It would truly be a loss to humanity if you were not able to fulfill your potential. In the meantime, I will continue my humble existence performing the mediocre-at-best job that continually fails to meet your expectations. I will look forward to your demonstrating how one established consistency in moderating messages one does not read. Sadly, that is just one of the many talents that I have failed to develop.
