I can't think of anybody right now, but it really bothers me that the moderators here love to play favorites and tend to moderate accordingly.

Abusing? They haven't done anything to even show they have powers. I do agree that they play favorites since some members are personally attacked by some. Who has heard of a forum that it's moderators attack other forum members?

Uh, perhaps ones who don't engage in the same activity that they warn others not to do.

No.  I think some of the mods have had immature moments, but who hasn't.  For the most part, the mods need to show their power more often.

Not really at the moment, though Dave has at times. He warned me just for calling Jorg Haider a fascist and put me on mod review just for posting a clip from a movie.

also Gustaf's/Jedi's recent (vigilante) actions against dcunited have my full approval in a certain sense, but set a dangerous precedent.  mods really will have no choice though unless Dave chooses to lift a finger.  and the chance does exist that he doesn't/shouldn't really care, at least not as much as we/some of you do.

Don't you mean Ogis? Though similar actions against dcunited would be welcome too.

As far as I know I've deleted all of DC_united_15's posts in fantasyland, except those that were votes, just in case.

Ah nice.

I love she is now trying to actually appear like she has a clue about politics in an attempt to redeem herself or whatever.

I wonder if Bob Dole would be banned by now if he had stuck around.

To his defense, Bob Dole did participate a great deal in the What If section when he wasn't talking about how he would have sex with his future wife. DC_United just doesn't know anything about politics and really needs another place to go to goof off. She's now said that she will keep making a fuss till she's forced to leave--so I guess she has embraced the troll label as her friend Ogis did.

Cry An insult on a political forum?  How unheard of.

That's not an abuse of power and like Duke said, they barely do anything.  They're just regular posters, nothing special.  Some of them actually do their job, others don't.  But none are paid or anything and are here primarily for discussion like the rest of us.

This post essentially nails it.
