I can't believe the modbias around this place. We should be able to break the rules with impunity, not follow them!

What a load of horse shit!

I'M SO ANGRY

While people like Kinder who shout mod bias at the top of their lungs over getting lite banned because they were flaming people are obviously full of shit in certain situations there can be some legitimacy to accusations of favoritism among the staff of a forum such as if one user receives an infraction from a moderator over something that other users didn't. That kind of stuff is horseshit and should be called out.

The only time I really see this happen is when one user (Member A) has a long record of being an asshole and having no respect for the rules, while the other (Member B) has few, if any, warnings or lite-bans.

In that situation, Member A is somewhat more likely to get a harsher punishment because that's just fucking fair. But I wouldn't call it mod bias.

I wouldn't call that favoritism either but the the context of the hypothetical situation that I'm talking about is where Member A and Member B don't have very different histories and Member B may or may not be a friend of the moderator handing out the punishment.
