I don't think so. The moderators are doing a good deed for everyone not to have 10 or 20 threads eventually on the same topic, which they have to remove 90% of, leaving only one topic for people interested in that particular title/line of thought. The mods at USMB try to keep things running well and it helps to have one thread of the same topic for the benefit of all members. We have both right and left moderators, and it keeps things even, imho. You need to give the moderators the benefit of the doubt. I'm a strong conservative, but I'm treated fairly and well by moderators on the left as well as the right. It's a good idea if you can't remember rules, to reread the USMB rules from start to finish now and then. You'll catch on after a few years. The mods are nothing but good and fair Americans, and my hat's off to the work they do and the example they set for all of us, regardless of being on the right or left aisle. And yes, occasionally they voice their opinion if they like or start a new topic, and even if you disagree with them, which has nothing to do with their work trying to make this the best political forum online. Put together they have 100% achieved excellence in debate forums, and they made USMB the best there is. They have no rivals. I've been on forums that closed down. Our moderators work hard to make us not one of them that ends by people who break the wise forum rules such as targeting and trolling another member of the USMB family or other undesirable online behaviors.
