Maybe this is a better forum to post this.. I didn't get any response on the "Welcome to the Dis" forum
I like the new policy of no politics or religious discussions. However, it seems that there is a double standard when it comes to the methods of moderating threads. For example, a light-hearted mention of a teleprompter for Obama's animatronic figure at the HOP was immediately removed by the mod. But on the Gay and Lesbian boards, they seem that they are free to discuss politics, legislation and religion. For example, fundamental Christians are called "troublesome" and videos of a man dressed as Jesus prancing around and dancing in a manner that would be insulting to Christians was posted. The mods did not seem to have any problems with this, not until someone questioned the appropriateness of these posts. The response was not to remove the offending statement or video, but to warn us that the debate was getting too heated. Teleprompter remark--immediately removed; resentment towards Christians--tolerated, with a warning; Disgusting video of Jesus--only removed one month later when I alerted the mods. Why the double standard?
