People suicide when they are depressed, is this a form of altruism so they dont waste scarce resources for other healthier happier organisms? Cells within organisms commit suicide all the time when they are defective. Sometimes the drive to off oneself is very strong and scary does it have a deep seated subconscious role? Of course it is not logical but people have impulses handed down from our ancient ancestors for better or worse.
I 99% expect the hair trigger moderators to take this down shortly any mention of suicide and they react for some reason. Obviously suicide is awful and painful if you are feeling this way there are happier days to be had and help is available but this is just a thought experiment as to why it is so prevalent.

I sent a message to the moderator of a website chatroom (other website not this one) saying that a member of their site was on a pedophile ring on another site and if they wanted information. I was then sent back a message saying "how would you know if you were not also there" I was then banned.

I sent a message saying that it I was involved in busting him after someone posted that a group were operating under secret code. I came and saw everyone talking about it. His account was being discussed by people.

A long time active Master level user who was a vocal pro-Trump conservative recently deactivated her account after complaining that the mods/admins were biased against conservatives. I've seen other conservatives here make the same complaint.

As a mod, I try to be fair in the actions I take. If a post clearly violates a rule, it gets removed. For example, one rule that is sometimes violated here by people with strong political views is the one about member posts. From the FAQ, this is one of the reasons for a post to be removed:

"Member Posts – We do not allow members to talk negatively of other GAGers in posts.
For example, "[username] is a stupid jerk!" will be removed.
- ALL *Questions and Takes* about specific members in a negative way are removed as Member Posts."

People at both ends of the political spectrum can be pretty nasty, but even though I have political views of my own, if I see a post attacking a specific user in this way, I'll remove it whether it's a Bernie supporter or a Trump supporter.

I'm curious whether users feel that moderators and admins overall are biased and, if so, against which end of the political spectrum.

If you think there is bias, please explain why and give specific examples if possible.
