MikeH talks openly about closing/deleting "Ben rapes" type threads.

That reminds me:

And mods don't have to be neutral. They only have to be not biased towards any poster.

Does anybody know the difference between being neutral and being unbiased? I confess I thought the two were synonyms.

Edit: And before anybody pulls a GePap, I am referring to the words "neutral" and "unbiased" when used in the context of moderator action, not when used in an unrelated context e.g. the ph of a liquid.

The only poster I'm unbiased toward is Wiggy. I'll like him get away with practically anything. So, if you can manage to propagate yourself as a ridiculously funny troll/DL for years and years without getting caught, I'll cut you some slack.

What I think Plomp means is that we're allowed to express our opinions and such - not be neutral on various issues - but we're not allowed to not be neutral when it comes to specific posters.

If they get out of hand, aren't funny, or are continually aimed at the same poster.

This thread is unfunny. Please delete it.
