There is a point system. Whether it is applied fairly to all I don't know of course. But it is possible one person has fewer points against them going into a "discussion" than another. Both get points for rule violation but one may exceed the mute threshold and not the other. However, I too see at least one person almost continually violating the rules and seems to have very short muted periods compared to what I've received.
Yep, I know about the "points system." I can tell you that SOME people are constantly "watched". And yeah, that's the point. There are those who can say pretty much anything, at any time, to or about anyone, and there are zero consequences. Others can simply post facts and data, in the same thread that gets locked, and get muted. And that's the whole point.
If there's going to be moderating of speech, it should be unbiased, and transparent. Subjective moderation, with obvious bias, is just really poor behavior.
I don't have a problem with being punished for stepping out of line. I have a problem with SOME being punished, and certainly not just me, and others spewing whatever they want, without consequences.
