| May 10, 2016 at 13:27 | comment | added | Kilisi | @enderland I think you did the right thing deleting at the end of the day, my answer while technically correct was absolute rubbish... as was the question... good judgement call :-) I'm not the sort to have sour grapes even if it wasn't. | |
| May 10, 2016 at 13:18 | comment | added | enderland Mod | (cont) This is particularly true when there is no clear best course of action - for example, I still wonder about this whole debacle and whether my aggressive cleanup was best (including deleting your answer) though everything there is now deleted, so it's kind of a moot point now. | |

moderators personal opinion overrides anything else just a clarification, everything that moderators do is by definition requiring judgment - if the things we have to do could be automated, they would be. Nearly all moderation results in some application of personal judgement - there is not a "formula" for "what to do as a moderator." Oftentimes this is way harder than it might seem and we often consult each other or moderators on other sites as it's non-trivial to know necessarily the best course of action. (cont)

| May 10, 2016 at 4:47 | comment | added | Kilisi | We're all bigots dependent on who is viewing our ideology, that's just a fact of life. But I agree, probably no malicious motive behind any of it. | |
| May 10, 2016 at 3:01 | comment | added | Lumberjack | Your opinion may be unpopular, but that doesn't make you wrong. To be clear, I am not saying I have any evidence to support your claim, but @keshlam is probably right. When it does happen it is likely not done intentionally, but rather subconsciously. | |
| May 10, 2016 at 0:35 | comment | added | keshlam | I'd rephrase the first sentence as "at times a moderator might make a mistake and edit based on personal bias --they're only human, after all." I don't think there is any evidence of people editing to suit personal biases except by mistake. You don't have to agree; just a reaction/suggestion. | |
| May 9, 2016 at 23:37 | comment | added | Kilisi | ahhh... oh well, I'd never really looked at who was moderators until now | |
| May 9, 2016 at 23:35 | comment | added | Jane S Mod | @Kilisi They are Stack Exchange employees. | |
| May 9, 2016 at 23:15 | comment | added | Kilisi | @sgroves These are the mods, apparently 2 of them only have 100 rep each, no idea how that works meta.workplace.stackexchange.com/users?tab=moderators | |
| May 9, 2016 at 23:10 | comment | added | Kilisi | I'm not a moderator, I'm just the same as you chaps | |
| May 9, 2016 at 23:06 | comment | added | user428517 | @killsi i can't delete answers. also, i'm not sure how that's relevant? you're the mod here, how about you act like one instead of taunting users? | |
| May 9, 2016 at 23:04 | comment | added | Kilisi | are you going to delete it? | |
| May 9, 2016 at 23:04 | comment | added | user428517 | that's what OP did. i am not sure how this answer contributes anything at all. it certainly doesn't answer the question. would downvote if i could. | |
