Good question. We have had to remove staff in the past because of bias. That goes from Forum mods all the way up to Admin. I will not name names because they can't defend their poor actions. As I said previously, the T&C is the only rule by which we run the board. And it works.

They say they can't be everywhere but they sure seem to be on certain (unmentionable) topics on certain (Unnamed) websites...Your Thoughts?
Internet forum moderation, a webwide conspiracy of sorts?..
I've noticed on nearly every moderated discussion system online there is huge bias dished out by moderators.

Now they are just defending themselves, resulting in the Off Topic posts by the mods themselves.

You have only proven the point that Moderation is biased by its very nature. Anything that involves subjectivity will be biased.
