[QUOTE="Shadeydm, post: 4616416, member: 44243"] To me there is a strong pro 4E bias on the site and has been for some time now. This is most clearly reflected in how the boards are moderated. Someone who does not like some aspect of 4E and posts this opinion in a pro 4E thread is banned from the thread but the thread continues. While someone who is pro 4E can thread crap in a discussion about a shortcoming of 4E and the thread gets locked instead, a win-win for the pro 4E crowd. Similarly someone who is pro 4E makes personal attacks against someone who is critical of 4E and they simply get a reprimand. Meanwhile when someone who is foolish enough to do the same to the pro 4E crowd, they not only get a thread ban or site ban but the offensive post actually gets deleted. Even now there is lengthy thread which basically says that if you don’t switch to 4E then the problem is with you not with 4E somehow I can’t imagine the reverse sticking around long. Point in case not that long ago there was a lengthy thread discussing the flaws of 3E this thread grew long and stayed civil yet at the same time several threads were started to try and have a similarly calm discussion about 4E’s flaws and those were consistently thread crapped by the pro 4E crowd and locked down by the mods. If this isn’t bias then I don’t know what is. [/QUOTE]
