Modding is basically management and therefore it can be hard at times to seperate objective and subjective choices from one another. There are a lot of grey areas as well, should trolls be banned, how far should people be allowed to go with insulting others etc. Some people have been banned and have deserved to be so, because they just couldn't clean up their act despite several warnings. From what I understand, banning is done in a democratic way with several mods deciding what should be done, so no one person has the power. For example as you know and mentioning no names, there is currently a troll going around at the moment making inflammatory statements and then makes no attempt to substantiate his point of view, but in his defence, he's not rude or insulting so infractions against him will be harder to apply.

well, i can't really penetrate their "hive" mind so to speak

and times, it's like the Borgs - "resistance is futile, you will be assimilated"

and of coz, back when djchameleon was here, since both of us are paranoid schizophrenics, we're afraid of a "hidden agenda"

I would equate Borgs with the Chinese, but Borgs with the Mod team no way, the Mod team are more like the Federation.
