Your main problem is weak enforcement, I have seen overt racism dealt with via nothing more than a "warning".
You need to ban a few of the more notable perpetrators and you will see instances of abuse disappear overnight.

The point I am trying to make is that the moderation should be fair and consistent sitewide.

Well, the same could be said about member contribution no?
I'm not trying to defend them mind you, just noting that it is perhaps slightly unreasonable to expect ordinary folks on different schedules to act in uniform fashion.

I agree with you there S Dog.
AwakeinNM does have a point about inconsistent moderation, but it's just one of those things that will always be the case - there's no way to fix it until we have AI to do the job for us.

As I have stated previously, my main nark is NOT that most people on here do not have the capability to be able to provide evidence or *legitimate sourcing for their discussions and debates - rather it is that nothing is done to prevent them from doing so or continuing their idiotic conviction based diatribes. This is ENTIRELY preventable.

I am also of the opinion, rightly or wrongly, that if a Mod or Super Mod contributes to a thread, then he or she should not moderate the thread.
