Geez. I guess my optimism was too quick, and misplaced.

We've all had the experience of Alerting and having our Alerts ignored far more often than not. We've all wondered if only alert's from straight people get answered.

Hell, I've even alerted directly on Moderator Messages to say, "Hey, this is FUCKED UP. This is a prime example of you guys doing something that shows an obvious double standard compared to what you did over here. This clearly looked biased." I have never received a response. Never! Not one email explaining what happened, justifying or explaining anything. And never once did I ever see one of those situations get fixed.

Your post not only should have stayed, it should also have resulted in some serious discussion!

Edit:

Hmmm... Having heard a bit more about what was under there, and whom... perhaps it wasn't all calling for taking a look at when/why moderators don't pay attention to alerts.

Some of it was just refusing to accept that we're moving forward. I've been one of the people screaming most bluntly, and even I'm accepting that we're moving forward. Or at least making a good try at it.

So, while I agree that sometimes you have to peal off the bandages and really see the wound before you can treat it properly and get it to fully heal, I don't think that means we should be poring gasoline on fires just to see how hot they can burn.
