Atikovi- You see racists where there are none.
And profit where there is none.
This board isn't making anyone any money, I assure you.
Perhaps, if you think this is a lucrative venture, you could start your own board, and ban all the people and comments that you don't like. It's got to be better than raising cats, or exotic fish...
In the meantime, the comments in this thread that caused it to be locked, were political.
The board owner (Helen) has been crystal clear in her standards, and everyone, including you, agreed to those standards when they signed up for a user account.
The moderators work with an enormous number of posts, and a large number of members. They volunteer (so much for "gots to get paid") and the site is better for their (again, unpaid) efforts.
Want to see more moderators? More involvement?
Consider donating, instead of complaining. Donations bring in more $$ than sponsors.

Because the owners don't like the NFL? Because jerks keep reminding us how they have "zero interest" in a subject they took interest in enough to tell us all they have zero interest? really? If one doesn't like the subject of discussion here you just thread-jack and get it closed?
Nick - you claim to moderate on two other boards, but you think a public complaint thread is likely to get a moderator to answer?
Really?
If you want to know why a thread was locked, a polite PM is far more likely to get a response than this tactic.
The comments that got it locked were political in nature. The rules on the forum are clear, so the lock was clear, at least, to me.
And, as I recommended above, consider donating. Help the site, and mods, achieve what you think they should.
Put your $$ where your mouth is, as the old saying goes.
