ITT: We Psychoanalyze the Mods

The rules on this site were once much more rigid than they are now. Things were prohibited with a much greater degree of specificity than just "no offensive content". But now, things are more open ended. And whether they admit it or not, this gives us a window into the minds of the mods, because there inevitably will be certain things that they are more inclined to ban than others. For example, it's not uncommon for me to talk about sucking dicks, with varying degrees of detail. I almost never get banned for it. However, the majority of the time that I discuss semen, it gets removed. What does this mean? I think it indicates that the moderators here have a fear of committing to something and seeing it through to the end. Maybe they have trust issues? Maybe their boyfriends are shit in bed? Maybe they just don't believe in themselves. What patterns have you noticed that reveal something about the mods?

      There's no way to psychoanalyze or otherwise predict the behaviors of a group of individuals who all make separate decisions, show up in different moods, or perhaps read something in a different way than their fellow mod. The choice to ban someone is always going to come down to that particular person, in that particular mood, after reading that particular comment. You may have a half-dozen mods scroll past your comment without a second thought, but all it takes is for one of them to decide that you took it too far and press the button. They're just people like everyone else trying to do their best.

        • I do believe some topics do hit home more than others. Ie: my only warning probably from Prometheus was because I said I was sick of Sandtrap lying to everyone for the last year about him being sick this whole time. It was my opinion but clearly someone was buddies with him took it real hard in the feels to hand me a ban after 5 years on this account.
