I don't think you were active long enough to make that judgement fairly.
Your first post was bannable on most boards. Calling someone out for a personal issue and using their first and last name. Normally we would have stopped it on the spot, but I thought in the spirit of cross-board fun, we should let it go a bit. I guess in retrospect, that was a mistake.
Do a google search of 'Clay Wendler' ... he writes for the Chiefs (kind of), and has been the owner of Red Tribe Cinema for years. His name is out there. It's a public name. I crossed zero lines (and had no intentions of crossing lines) on that one. He knows that. I didn't use his full name maliciously.

Also, this horrible moderation as you call it is generally the will of all the members. No one here has a monetary stake in the board, we are all here for the information and entertainment value, including those of us with extra buttons.
Often, when we are unsure about a particular troll, the entire membership will decide their fate with a simple poll. In your case, there is not much doubt how that would turn out.
Maybe it is not horrible moderation, but horrible lack of moderation. The inmates run the asylum here. The mods may try to steer things, but it is mostly mob rule.
If that is horrible, so be it, but it seems to me it is nice to be a part of a community where the community in large part determines the direction.
Dude, your entire community wanted to ban me because I liked QBR. Congratulations. You have a butthurt, ban happy board. You've created a homer board where no one but ass kissers or Patriots fans get a chance.
I came here with no intent on malicious behavior. At all. I did want to rub it in Clay's face the Chiefs won a playoff game with Smith since he spent 3 years trying to ruin Chiefs talk on ChiefsPlanet because we traded for Alex Smith.
But in terms of 'trolling Patriots fans' ... no. I had no intentions of doing that. And I didn't do that. Period. I talked about how I respected QBR (I did that on CP, too), and how I thought it was funny a few of your members were already calling Manning a cheater after being up in arms about the entire public jumping on Brady right away for deflate-gate.
There is no ban worthy posts that I made. I did no trolling. I'm a football fan. I'm a Chiefs fan. I don't see things through rose colored glasses when it comes to Patriots football. That doesn't mean I'm a troll.
Your board is a homer board that doesn't allow an opposing viewpoint. Period. If it did, I wouldn't have been banned. Instead you have 4 or 5 regulars who flame the living hell out of anyone new that doesn't agree with their Patriots heavy takes, and then whines about them being banned until one of you ban happy mods actually does it.
But please, I'm still waiting for that list of posts that were ban worthy. I'm sure I'll be waiting for a while.
