Have the Administrators of the various internet message boards gone too far in their preferential treatment of certain members over others?
Postings on IHUB increased considerably in the last few weeks. Unfortunately, much of the increase can be attributed to members' complaints about what they perceive as being biased decisions on the part of one of its administrators.
More recently on SI, Admin (Jeff) suspended one of its members for two weeks. Despite being on the receiving end of numerous abuses and name calling, Master was suspended for a retaliatory remark. What has this member done to warrant such a suspension? Surely he must have used the "F" word. Maybe he threatened to kill someone. Or maybe he deliberately posted misleading information about a company.
wrong....Wrong.....WRONG
His only crime was to ask the following question to one of his abusers:
"BTW, does your sister really wear army boots?"

Use this board to send a clear message to the JEFFs of this world.
We demand and expect fairness. Once this concept is compromised, they should no longer have the privilege of working as an Administrator.
A board without members is simply an Admin playing alone in a room. And we all know what happened to Pee-Wee Herman.
