Bias for an artist should not affect any warning.
However, warnings are indeed subjective and therefore some form of bias is going to be present. But that has more to do with what one might find offensive or not, over what artist you stan for.

If you feel like bias has affected your warning in any way, you can always send in a help request. Every moderator can see that and we will discuss it, so any bias is gone there.

You know that is a lie.

Just because we don't always change the outcome doesn't mean we don't discuss it.

OK at the mod who gave me a WP for Abrasive because I jokingly called people "uglees".

How are we supposed to see those if they aren't reported?
Because they indeed aren't reported. We don't go look around in every thread for potential warnable posts. We have better things to do with our time, that's what the report system is for.

I reported post 62 in that thread and it appears to have been cleared (back when the thread was still open). Granted, the tab dealing with that report could have still been open on the mod's browser and that's why the post wasn't showing up as "Warning Received" so maybe the system isn't as inconsistent as many would like to think.

I find that to be a flawed perspective in that subjectivity need not be based on who the moderator most likes; for example, I personally won't be at all deterred from warning a Monster or pro-Gaga comment if a warning is warranted, and I'll be much more likely to base decisions as to the harshness of the penalty (i.e. Whether to give a warning or reminder) on the previous behavior of the member in question. In my first day as a moderator, I can already tell you that it would be very hard to skirt around a deserved warning. There's not much room for bias to affect warnings anyway.

I am not approaching this as a personal issue, just in general. A Xtina/Madonna trolling thread stays open for hours, even days in Xtina's case. While a Britney/Gaga trolling thread gets closed in minutes. That is the kind of bias I am referencing.

Would be nice to acknowledge the process of election, or is it a secret?

My Madonna trolling threads get closed in minutes and Xtina gets a free pass with the nickname "Legend X." Also NO ONE makes as many trolling threads as the Xtina stans DMF and the one who's always banned (he's hilarious but I forget his username). There are more Gaga trolling threads than for any other artist (GP, fade, GP peak, over, flop, GP) and Britney gets dragged for days on end. Give me a break.

GOOD! the mods are doing a great job.

Perhaps the Gaga/Britney trolls just aren't as clever when posting their threads? I've seen plenty of trollish threads (about any artist) stay open awhile if they're done right. But when they're obvious "LOLz are Britney/Gaga OVER?" flamebait, like most are lately, of course they're going to get closed in minutes.

I really don't see the trend though, Nicole is right that they all get closed pretty quickly. The main reason a thread gets closed after a few hours/days is if it wasn't objectionable at first, but the posters got out of hand eventually

People see what they want to notice. If someone really believes that we're out to get their fave and fanbase then they should probably chill. They also seriously overestimate our team's communication with one another.

Can you explain why you feel the need to leave racist remarks in my inbox?

Because I don't want people like you in America.

Book them!
We need a more democratic report/warning system.
We need an Executive, Judicial & legislative branches to keep the mods in check.
Not liking this dictatorship system Atrl is moving towards.

Always looking after whatever I say. DMF is not even a stan, he is a troll disguised as a Xtina stan. It doesn't take a genius to notice that and it is a pretty well-known fact.

It is not as dramatic as "getting our fave or fan base". But threads (very active) have been reported and they remain open for hours while several mods are online.
