Rather then go on a rant, I'll post a picture of my history and let you decide for yourself. I have permission to repost these, I asked in the 'Ask a Mod Forum' here.

For those who don't want to click,
The person I responded to said, 'There i said it Yes we are superior. i am tired of being afraid of being called a rascist. I just dont care anymore.'
I reponded, 'You are a racist though...'
I get modded, I lost a level, I get destroyed for that?
Now I was told there's two things I can say when I blog about this, I'll say those now.
I disagree with this moderation and I don't deserve it.
That is all.
Thanks for those of you who sent me support PMs and to the mod (who's identity will remain a mystery for his/her own sake) who supports me in this.

Anyways, thats sucks that it happened. I wonder what happened to the guy who said that
when you think about it for a second, it does look like potential bait for him/her/it to come back with something, but even so he/she/it brought it on him/her/itself by being a racist in today's world.
Well, that's the problem with having mods picked out from the community. There's always going to be a certain bias with some mods since the higher-ups in Gamespot never really got to know them or see who they are as a person. The best we can do at this point is not worry about it I suppose.
The problem is that based on our policy here, it isn't the user's place to call such things out. If someone's acting as a racist, simply reporting them as one is sufficient, and will ensure that the user actually gets punished, and not the person who's trying to stand up against them.
"That does sound quite unreasonable. I honestly never understood how comments like that can get away freely while any arguments put against it are modded."
The only reason why a user would get away freely is mainly because no one reports the offending user, and furthermore, they don't simply ignore the user. If someone is saying things just to troll and rile up things, responding to them in any capacity means that that person has automatically won, regardless of what you say in response. That's the mentality of someone who trolls - they're trying to get you to post back at them and revel in the idea that they can control the emotions of others through being offensive or insensitive. Reporting such people, and then ignoring them, is the only response that really is needed in such situations.
Also, it seems SunofVich is not banned. I don't understand how you can be so blatantly racist and not be banned. He's still level 30 Toriko
ive gotten modded with point loss like 8 times this level usually for flaming wich i deserved but also alot of them is just plain censorship, its no secret i dont agree with alot of the moderators but we are visitors on theyr site so cant fight the abuse.
