The over-moderation of this board is absolutely absurd at times.  I've been banned for very similar things in very ridiculous context.  Basically, if a MOD doesn't agree with your viewpoint and it butthurts him/her you'll end up with a moderation. 

I hear this a lot, but I have 11x more posts then you and I have never had a problem making my viewpoint known 

 To some extent you fit in the 'group' around here.  You hardly if ever see a 'Mod' or any sort of friend on here get moderated.   Secondly,  I don't know what other accounts you have but it says you have 990 some posts?  I have around 1,000. 

dsister's main account (he got rid of the 44 for some reason) has well over 10,000 posts. I still beat him though

Now, is it really so odd that mods are harsher on people with low post counts who have joined recently? Hell, if you do anything wrong on GAF in your first three months, you are banned permanently. Somebody with 10,000 posts (and few or no bans) has proved that they can post sensibly and express an opinion without trolling. Somebody with 500 hasn't.

It's not necessarily odd that they are more trust worthy members.  But I've found that there are plenty of viable posters who just don't post nearly as often. Many great posters lurk far more then post. 

Post count should never be involved in moderation .  It should always be about the content in the specific post.  With only blatant personal attacks, trolling, etc serving the ban hammer.

If the post is questionable,  a mod should shoot out a warning first, ban second.   A practice that I haven't witnessed very often around here.    The lines of getting moderated and not getting moderated are generally very muddy around here.
