Sometimes grumpy, often idiosyncratic, but the only systematic bias I can see is to try to keep everyone who uses the fora relatively happy and to encourage a degree of tolerance among users.
The only occasions where I have been moderated is when I did something that I knew pushed the limits (either as to good taste or inflamatory comment), and I could see why the mods did what they did (sometimes they explain, sometimes they don't, I prefer it when they do but I can cope if they don't).Cheers

To S Branden.
I rarely reply to polls, but in this case I am making an exception.
I constantly get my posts moderated.
I deleted a few posts from that thread. One of the forumites sent me a PM asking why to which I responded.
Your post was vitriolic and hateful, based purely on your own BIASED opinion.
It could not and will not be allowed to stay here.
It is all in the way that opinions are stated.
I refer you to a post I made a while ago but we have relaxed a little since then. https://www.woodworkforums.com/f43/message-noora-11512

G'day,
I'll change my vote from no, to say yes, it is biased at times.

Who cares.
Jeez I've had my fair share of extraordinarily witty and sharply observant posts deleted and I couldn't give a toss. We all have bigger fish to fry than this.
As an an example, here is a decidedly perspicacious anecdote. I once had a lecturer tell me that everyone had bias. I thought he was a dickhead. Go figure.There was a young boy called Wyatt
Who was awfully quiet
And then one day
He faded away
Because he overused White

No, they have the responsibility to look after the forums and sometimes we don’t like it. They are all pretty cool blokes really.

I don't think I have had a post deleted. Might have just don't remember.
did ask me, take special note he asked me first to change my signature, which was a Billy Connelly joke about blow jobs and the trade practices act so I put my current one on then. That is the only time I remember having a mod contact me for any mod type reason.
