@people asking why @saddam was 'tolerated and only warned for so long' while @MarvHartigan was banned promptly:
@Thor is not a supermod. He cannot ban people. He can only warn and inform supermods. He was helpless there. But so is the setup for mods that has been created by @root in his/her own wisdom.
Moderatorship isn't a bloody job. We don't get paid to deal with your crap. We do it because we care about the forum. Don't expect mods to stay up at 1 am dealing with nocturnal enuresis by some psycho. @Thor was still trying. And some egomaniacs here were 'getting offended' as to why @Thor wasn't 'listening to them.' Shame on you.
@rajshekhar seems to think that mods are in collusion with insiders for some profit motive:
Well buddy, mods don't get paid a pretty paisa. It's free service dealing with the likes of @saddam. You want to have all your information catered to you on a silver platter. Sorry to say buddy, we're not your private valets here. You have to deal with the same load of shit that we all have to. And this forum isn't your private property (neither is it mine). So, kindly don't behave like we're violating your rights here. If you don't like it - well, tough luck.
@ArindamSarkar seems to think that there cannot be any other benefit apart from pecuniary gains. I was just saying that rather than discouraging false rumours from self-proclaimed insiders like @Varshaupsc, mods support it so that they can attract more followers on the forum and hence enjoy the satisfaction of being mods of a platform which caters to a chunk of civil services aspirants all across the nation. The need is to understand that benefits can be tangible as well as intangible, and I was referring to intangible benefits.

Don't know what happened last night. I slept at 12:45 am. Till then it was going well but I was sensing an impending Secularism as well as Feminism debate. Free advices are seldom respected. But take it as something imminent at this time.
- Moderators are nowhere tied to a specific individual or interest. They are here to provide a balanced representation to everyone. -If you look at their acts with a pre-conceived notion that they are biased, then you'll never reach a right conclusion. -Just like Varsha all other insiders are given a free attempt at that serious thread. Mods are no Omnipresent Gods to know what's going on in anyone's heart. How can they differentiate who is right and who is fake. -Most importantly. Does UPSC anywhere included this in their secret rule book that if you win a debate at Forumias then they'll be rewarding you extra 50 marks or so. Try to prioritise. It's high time now that we should get indulged in meaningful discourse. Do the cost benefit analysis yourself.
As far as mods are concerned... With my own experience, even if you dont tell them anything they keep a close eye on the activities here. Myself being a newcomer here but in the past few days the role of @andy133@Thor@ArindamSarkar@Vibin... Is actually kaabile-taareef. I don't believe in flattery but this is the truth people.
