In reply to the discussion: 24-hour poll: Does DU need judges as well as juries? [View all]Rhiannon12866
(217,550 posts)49. Well, I was a mod and I never saw that.
Sure, we'd debate things, and would sometimes disagree, but it was over our interpretation of the rules. Myself, unless it was a serial disruption, I often didn't notice who the poster was because I was too busy evaluating so many alerted posts. We all just tried to be fair and keep up... I know some members believe that we "played favorites" or let certain issues slide, but I never saw it on my side of the fence.

I would have voted for a tie-breaker option. A 3-3 ruling goes to a tie-breaker.
