I think I'm the common denominator in the 3 things you have mentioned.
1. Last season I fully moderated the Works races so every incident was moderated. That is why you were picked up for incidents that were not in the red zone and not reported by any other driver. I wasn't picking on you I fully moderated all incidents.
2. This season I'm moderating the 65 Pro series. I'm only moderating red zone and reported incidents this season.
In Round 1 moderated the start line incident you were involved in. Gave you a penalty.
In Round 1 0h2m42s. You clipped Doni on the right rear which probably contributed to his engine damage. Wasn't reported so I didn't moderate it (can't be accused of picking on you there
)
In Round 2 moderated the incident at Portier. Recognised some great driving on your part, very good line through corners - no penalty.
3. On the mods forum I gave some advice to Walter regarding collecting all the facts on an incident. It is better, although not necessary, to ask the drivers for their version of events that way there is less chance of missing something that may come to light in an appeal if there is one. So for S28 69x R2, Walter is only asking for driver input, he has not published a moderator's report. How do you know what Walter is thinking? Why do you think you are being singled out? You are keen to express your views on the public forum, so why not in incident report where you can say what you think about any other driver without causing arguments on the forum? The moderator can take everyone's views into account without the need for any unpleasant public exchanges.
By biased moderating are you referring to the fact that we do not moderate all incidents. I have to agree with you if that is what you are getting at. However it all depends on the type of league the drivers want. Personally I would like to see all incidents moderated as was the case several years ago. But this is hard work and is not sustainable. We do a lot more races now with lots of different mods so the league is run differently. If we had no moderation at all the league would risk descending into a farce, with bad driving going unpunished which would spoil the racing for everyone. So we have a compromise, we moderate red zone and reported incidents as a minimum. Inevitably that means some drivers will get away with bad driving if they are not reported. That is the price we pay for making the moderating workload tolerable.
So, if by biased moderating you mean:
Some drivers are allowed to get away with bad driving - then the answer is to report more incidents and less drivers will get away with bad driving.
I'm picking on you personally - I can assure you I'm not and the moderation of the Pro rounds this season shows that.
Inconsistency - we always try to apply the
penalty guidelines fairly. Anybody who thinks there has been a mistake can appeal to the Chief Mod. He can check the penalty guidelines have been followed and amend a report where necessary.
