Moderator abuse - any remedies?

Not open for further replies.
I used to mod a forum section (What was I thinking when they asked me to mod?) called called "America Religion Politics", although anything else could be talked about that would be frowned upon in the other sections. Of course there were some strong feelings from the posters. Some were unhappy with us and could not understand how they could be so misunderstood.

I would like to think we did a good job, it was funny when we contacted each other because there was no fights or issues brewing. We were afraid we were going to jinx it if we mentioned the fact. But eventually things got going again. The moral of the story is we didn't want the hassle of going through the process of deciding if there was a problem and what to do about it. Life was too short. So if you found yourself troubled by a mod decision, just think about the poor mods. Not like they wanted to go into work mode.

My ultimate advice, learn from it. It will only make you stronger (maybe not here but as a person). ;)


And I agree, there should be no abuse of the moderators. Feed the poor moderators. They have a lonely job.

A moderator has chosen to be abusive and place me in permanent turtle mode without any explanation. This mod routinely bans me from posting in threads in the Politics section for no apparent reason, other than my political opinion differs from his. I would like to put an end to this as I have been a member in good standing since 2014 and have violated no terms of service. I treat others better than I am treated in the Politics section. Short of legal action, do I have any remedy here at RIU to make this stop?

Sounds like a you problem.

Uh, no. When you have a politics forum, free speech is expected, within limits for sure. Now I understand that I am to take my abuse and like it because mods can be as petty as they want for absolutely no reason.

Stop arguing with the umpires.

If you're not feeling well, try that hydroxychloroquine you were promoting in your thread.

Oh, and have a nice day.

some people only see what they want when they read stuff, here is a perfect example.

I read this as, NOT INCLUDING LEGAL ACTION, what can YOU do?

that is all I can do for you here, now quit being a baby and find something else to do with your turtle time.
