Should threads discussing moderation be allowed

Yes, if you want to complain about a moderator then post in Ask a Section Leader.

Should people be allowed to complain about corrupt doctors?

And that is exactly what we are saying is wrong. When a politician ****s up they shouldn't be judged by other politicians but by the media and the public in general. It's the same principle here. You keep everything hush hush, meaning you stay in complete control.

TSR is like China, openly criticize the mods and be shut down, or worse warned and banned.

Your free speech isn't being curtailed by this forum - you are quite free to set up your own forum and complain there. You are also quite free to break the rules here in a technical sense (although I'm sure the moderators will feel quite free to ban you).

It's not really the same principle though. TSR isn't a government, it's a business. An elected politician might be accountable (in theory) to the public at large but someone working for a private company is accountable to their immediate superiors.

Funny isn't it?; all the moderators can jump in and help the particular mod to "support the team" as a particular mod once told me, and the user who's filing the complain is all alone trying to defend themselves, with no support from anyone. If the user is not happy, go ask another upper mod lol.

I never implied my free speech is curtailed. I only assert that moderators are not infallible - they have their own political views and ideologies, and quite often that factors into how they moderate.

If you think of TSR as a business, we are your customers, and this is no way to treat your customers. Customers are what a business has to answer to because we pay you.

True.

There's no disputing this.

Wrong.

Politicians are accountable to the people; the tax money people pay goes straight to their pockets. So there's no "might be" here.

Private companies/business (like TSR) are accountable to the paid customers ; in this case, the TSR users.

If you think of TSR as a business, we are your customers, and this is no way to treat your customers. Customers are what a business has to answer to because we pay you.

A customer is someone who purchases something. Without wishing to devalue the users, TSRs customers are the companies and universities etc who pay to advertise on the site. Users don't pay to use TSR.

A company as a whole is accountable to its customers. An individual working for the company is accountable to those more senior than them within the company.

If you don't like what a company does, you should probably write a letter to your MP or stop using that company. If they've done something illegal, maybe you could get the courts involved, otherwise, there isn't really a lot else you can do.

Potally_Tissed you're really getting on my nerve. I'd let you go on the issue of sampling because I don't want to explain from A-Z what is (non)random sampling.

But here again, you're basically trying to give lame excuses here.

Here's definition of "consumer"



TSR provides a service. Since you're a part of TSR, you should know what the services are.

I'm not interest to debate with "terms" here. Seriously; this post of yours is lame. This is a good example how a mod cannot explain himself well.

You can forward my post to the Admin; they will agree with me that your use of terms is wrong.

what good will the MP do?

You've just changed from referring to "customers", to now referring to "consumers". I'm not disputing your definition of consumer or that you are indeed a "consumer" of TSR, but that's not the same as being a customer, which is what you and Danny referred to in your previous posts and what I was replying to.
