Are mods kept an eye on? How are they selected? Any vetting?

Where?

The only "answer" I see, on this thread, was the one where you said you didn't post a reason cuz it would've bumped the thread----that would take care-of the 2nd question, I asked of you.

The explanation for Mootoo's thread being locked was posted by another mod in this thread.

The explanation for the Trump thread being locked was posted in the thread.

Two threads about Jacoby's views on Clinton's email scandal = two threads on the same topic. And frankly Jacoby's essentially the conservative Mootoo so a lot of that explanation applies here too.

I don't think that's fair; Jacoby posts lengthy explanations of his views with links, regardless of what you think of the sources of those links, doesn't spam every forum on the board with wild conspiracy theories, posts about things other than Trump, and is generally much more coherent as a poster. He also doesn't accuse you guys of conspiring against him, with the aid of WP's apparently custom designed to oppress him software no less.

I agree completely. There is no comparison between these two posters.

All posters are unique regardless of the presence-or-absence-of-a-positive-demeanour

I AGREE----and, if it weren't for the fact that everybody and their brother (not literal) would think they've hit the jackpot and been given "free license" to whine every 2 seconds, I think it would be a GREAT idea to re-name this thread (with the OP's permission, ONLY), "Question a Mod's decision, HERE" (or, something like that), and make it a STICKY (far enough away from the other thread regarding getting a Mod's attention, of course, so the two wouldn't be confused). Mods are not "above-the-law", so-to-speak, and it would, IMO, give them accountability to the PEOPLE of this site----and, as I stated before, I feel that is at least PART of Alex's vision, in having this site (for the PEOPLE).

To whomever removed my two posts, that I had to edit-out because this site posted one post, THREE times: THANKS!!

I think every single one of the mods here should be demoted...I have never seen a more poorly run and mismanaged forum.

Maybe PPR complaints in the wp discussion should be identified as such in their titles

I've only seen loveliness here since I joined.

One person started trouble and the mods dealt with it.

Another mod helped me with my name change when I wanted to change my name.

So I'm impressed.

Here's another lock by someone who can't possibly research anything before making instaneous decisions.

It is quite clear from the edit I made that I was the one who did do the research.

You, on the other hand, got into a rage about an article that was clearly labelled "satire" in five places without checking whether the contents were genuine or seeking out a reliable source.

If you had, for example, checked the article in the Evening Standard, you would have seen that there was nothing like "fascistic threats to murder".

I think the mods here do a really great job overall. I feel as though some of them look out for me sometimes, too. I think they all care very much, and mistakes may happen as just part of human error, or well...because they were right and not everyone likes it, including me sometimes.

^ Thanks!

I'm not sure what your interpretation of 'treason' is, but historically it very much included death, i.e. murder. Also, you reckon I included the satirical site for no reason? I may have linked to any other real sources but I presumed people could do their own research. You clearly didn't realize it after I pointed it out, though.
