Here in Burbank we have cops who do absolutely nothing. This past year I've watched violation after violation after violation performed right smack dab under the noses of BPD officers go 'unpunished'. What is the result of this? We have idiots who drive 100 mph down residential streets and who don't even slow down for stop signs because they know there's no consequence for violating the rules. So sure, Burbank has a police department, but for all intents and purposes there are no cops on the street and we live in near anarchy because of it.
Here at CC, we have moderators, but for all intents and purposes ya gotta do something Reeeeeeeeeally horrific to get their attention. And because of that we all know that 'running the stop signs' here is without consequence. Which is why it continues and grows.

After reading the OP,what would absolute anonymity reveal?
I had contact with a couple of them, and a former member here used to post about it rather frequently, as he claimed to have been one of them as well.
Your cop illustration is moot, apples and oranges. You're using it to say the mods here do nothing. That's just not accurate.
You gotta do something really horrific to get noticed? That's a bad thing? Sounds like longsuffering to me.
Maybe they should pound the stuffing out of everyone for the smallest slight and ban people left and right? One slip up pal, and you're outta here!!!
But the thing is you're incorrect. Behind the scenes they take care of what goes on by giving infractions and warnings - things you don't see. It isn't true then that only the really horrific things get noticed.
The other issue is that OP's like this are really a plea to ban others they don't like while they turn a blind eye to the antics of those who espouse their false doctrines, and a blind eye is given to themselves by themselves as well.
MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND, TO ALL OF YOURS!

That's a little bit of an exaggeration, they do 100 on Glenoaks, 80 on Kenneth, but no more than 75 on residential streets.
Let me carry your analogy a little bit farther.
Lets say the cops were accused of impropriety, brutality, or misconduct by 90% of the persons they ticketed or accused of only ticketing blue cars because that cop doesn't like blue cars? Do you think cops might be less likely to write tickets if that were the case?

People who are not held to account for their actions become rude, mean and nasty to each other. Come spend a couple hours on the I5 and you'll agree. Or, spend a couple hours here in the BDF and you'll have to agree.
Hey I get it, you're trying to be a good cop, and you're vastly overworked and outnumbered. But the end result is the same - people here are rude, nasty and mean because they can get away with it.
Is it your fault? No.
Is the result the same? Yes.

It happens. Imagine if someone followed you around the board, disagreeing with you and mocking you, but not breaking the rules. As a mod, what are you supposed to do with posters like that? Ban them? I was a mod on another board, and a small group of posters routinely mocked me for being a Christian. (It wasn't a Christian message board.) The final straw there was when they began mocking God just to get under my skin. I figured if my presence was causing that sort of behavior, well, hasta la vista to that place!
Jesus doesn't need defending, but He allows us our own individual 'limits' for ourselves
concerning how we feel/deal with Him...
our Heavenly Father uses/allows all kinds of ways/words to TEACH us about this 'fallen-world'
and how we must deal with it in HIS WAY...
it's definitely a daily 'challenge'...

I think the "mods" need a little mercy shown to them because they can only moderate what they're told to moderate.
Also, mods have way more authority in the chat rooms than the forums.
That's the reason why there's more mods in chat, & not in the forums.
Wouldn't everyone agree when someone's banned in the forums, it's by an Admin, & not a mod?
I agree with the Op. It's a problem.
I partially agree with this, because there's only some that rant, name call, & slander without consequence. Those that challenge them by their their own rules get banned. Nobody told me that. I saw it.
I have been told though about one thread that seems to have its own rules, and several have been banned in it because they challenged the 'owner' of the thread. We all know what thread that is, don't we?
As a matter of fact, go back through that same thread, and you'll see that more members have been banned in it than any 10 threads combined. Kinda sounds fishy, don't it?
Am I complaining? No, I am bringing it up because SOME think we're rehashing the same old stuff over and over in threads like these, so I'm giving them something different to think about.
I also agree with Oncefallen. He's in here waay more than anyone realizes. Just watch his posts. He replies within minutes of something he's interested in, signifying he's right here. Everyone should know he's almost always here, esp. in the evenings.

Okay. Then I have a complaint! At this stage of life, it is disconcerting to see a post written by a 17-year-old, then near the age-declaration is a tag that says the writer is a "senior member."
Bwahahaha!
Seriously, I am still getting used to this!

Burbank cops dealt with 15 rapes, 91 robberies, 108 Aggravated assaults, burglary, theft, and auto theft ranged around 275 incidents per month, and violent crime averaged 18 per month since the beginning of 2017, but they're just sitting on their butts watching speeders go by.
I'm going with what's really going on behind the scenes on this site is related, in that you're upset someone disagrees with you, while scammers are targeting vulnerable people. (I've seen that happen more than once, and, sure enough, the mods stopped it in half a day.)
You really do see life only as it affects you personally, don't you? And you really never notice when you don't slow down for stop signs either.
