Quoting you, Melian...

"Since other threads post cartoons, and even Q talk, with impunity, I think it's a safe bet that we have a couple of mean-spirited lurkers who make it their mission to report us to like-minded Mods. Lurkeys."

I don't understand your resentment. This forum is provided for us. It has rules. If you see violations on another thread you need to report abuse.

Since before I signed up in 2005 the site owner has pleaded with us to avoid copyright infringement , having already gone through a major lawsuit in 2000. Then there was another costly lawsuit in 2010.

We as members have been asked repeatedly to stop posting forbidden material, and for all of us to help in removing it from every thread on the site.

I don't understand your resentment.

The resentment comes from the feeling that this thread/topic is being singled out for enforcement. That some mods have a personal bias against the 'Q topic' and pay special attention to any infraction, make 'suspension' decisions unfairly, look the other way at rule violations committed by 'non-Q people' when 'engaging' with 'Q people'. Punish Q people while letting their attackers run rampant.

And the fact that every single photo/cartoon is all of a sudden being deleted and people suspended ONLY on this thread only adds to those feelings. Surely you can understand that.

Now, all this may just be paranoid fantasy, but the feeling persists. How do I know? Because I have had those 'feelings' on several occasions.

I realize that mods are human and not bots, and as humans have personal biases which can often times be difficult to purge completely while performing in their role.

I get that. But think of the frustration people might feel when treated unfairly.

I don't accuse you of these things, mind you. I just wish the mods would be sure that they perform their roles fairly, and that they police themselves if they discover that one or more among their number are behaving as I've described.

We are all willing to abide by CLEARLY LAID OUT rules, and we know when we are behaving badly and will take our lumps when we are out of line, without complaint.

Just let justice be fair, is all.
