this thread is made in relation to the accusation that the moderation team favours one political leaning and tries to only prosecute users of the other political leaning.
Do you think it's true?
So this is from someone who has been swimming under the gaze of shf and nuf moderation since 2016.
This I learned it from casual conversations with mods over the years...To put it simply... this forum uses a "report" and "tally" system.
If a person keeps breaking rules and no one ever reports them the mods will never catch them nor ever ban them.
If one thinks there is some kind of bias in the mind of the mod, I think there is a misconception here.
People getting banned for breaking rules on shf like on nuf are not isolated events but a result of a chain of behavioral history.
For example. (This is an example Any resemblance to actual persons, places or events is purely coincidental.)
Lets say both T and P were having an argument. Both said words and behaved in a way that could be reported as abusive
The thread was locked and if posts were reported both users would have gotten a red mark in some moderator spreadsheet.
Since then P has not engaged in other arguments with T, and has not been very active on the forum.
But then T gets into another argument on another thread with idk, someone called Q, T end up calling people "Wookiees" saying all woke, all feminist and LGBTQ people should be rounded up and burned alive.
Whatever Q says in return even with bad name-calling, that would only land them one warning, and T would be their second warning.
That... on top of T's daily spam of NSFW images with his clone account's profile page, even if the posts are posted and then deleted. If caught and reported that would earn him more warning points.
That would eventually rack up and get T banned or perma banned but not P or Q. While banning people that hurl abuse at the "woke" and LGBTQ community is a right-wing narrative, the act of T being banned and not the others is a cold hard numeric not inherently political.

I have seen lots of people being banned over the years, but by far they have been bad people not because of their religion or political leaning, they were terrible people with problematic personalities. And they dial up their terribleness at people who disagree with their worldview.
I could do a leftwing example, about a person who raved about too much racism and misogyny on SH and gets into fights, but I am tired.
Also, I think (not sure) people don't just rack up warning points on the forum, people get those on the main site harassing authors and commenters.
That is what I understand of the mod system. Correct me if I am wrong,
TLDR
People who break rules repeatedly get reported get banned
People get banned for being assholes who don't read the rules or feel they are above it, not because of politics.
Warning points are indiscriminate of political leanings. They just follow the rules.
Some people are just more abusive more often.
@Tony There you go.
@ZukoMee feel free to call out Tony from what your friends have said.
*gesture vaguely* I have set the stage for you.
P.S I believe I have gotten 2 warnings in my long career, don't remember for what tho.
