Dedhead, Some mods are biased. Its just human nature. They will let people spout off for hours as long as its something they agree with. As soon as you put something on 200 that is contrary, they come in with the hammer. Then you get to watch in silence as the "debate" rages on. You also watch your teammates get shot down because you can't even give check6s without a reminder of how many minutes you have left on your punishment. Just not worth it.
I learned my lesson years ago and I do my best to ignore the stupid stuff now. To my knowledge, mods do not have any rules to follow and, as far as I know, are not accountable for their actions. The best thing you can do is just take the punishment and, if you feel it was excessive, send an email to HT. You will get no sympathy from the people on these boards because many are the exact same people who have control of that mute button.
