The problem is that they dislike certain users and their bias towards those users affects their judgement big time.
Yeah, you can stop acting like you know anything about me anytime now, Vlado. This doesn't have anything to do with my opinion of LMS as a user.
I'm for a host being neutral, but I'm also for a host doing what's necessary to make this project successful and enjoyable. 15 AoDs about whether Melee is better than Brawl, OoT is better than Super Metroid, Mario World is better than Other M, etc. are not my idea of an enjoyable topic series that's (supposedly) not just about video game discussion. Throwing out bad nominations isn't a lack of neutrality. If you constantly have people de-nomming his nominations every topic, then you should be somewhat proactive about it and deal with it yourself. If LMS stops nominating the same crap over and over again and actually starts nominating other stuff, fine. This doesn't have as much to do with LMS as a user as it does with the fact that he nominates inequalities involving the same 5 Nintendo games over and over again, with slight variation. Nobody finds those enjoyable anymore but him because he's driven them into the ground.
This doesn't necessarily have to be a permanent ban either. You can ban him for a month, a couple weeks, whatever. But some action needs to be taken because you have a decent portion of this topic series' fanbase who is annoyed with it. I've done things I haven't necessarily wanted to do as a contest host because people thought it would make the contest better. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But at the very least, when this many people are complaining, you can't just do nothing.
Who are you to say what nominations are bad and what aren't? If Zach needs to do something, it's limiting the inequality nominations so that only 30% of the queue can be inequalities or something like that.
