I think that is the case. I personally don't think there is anything wrong with that in a general sense. It happens in pretty much all facets of society, rightly or wrongly, so it's not surprising that it also happens here. I would say that if I saw any member posting something in the same vein as what the post which got Andro perma-banned then I would be instigating a discussion with the other mods to the same effect, there are lines that shouldn't be crossed.
I believe it does. There are people here, including me, who have already addressed it and got backlashed by mods and admins.
Even if there are people here who post more than others, average daily post count (and post count itself) must not be a tacit criteria to give more leeway to x poster.
Otherwise, it just means moderators and administrators who fall into that trap are useless and incompetent at their task.
Now that we are talking about the said conversation about what should be posted and what not in the Contador thread (particularly about the retirement topic), I was utterly disgusted at it and how the ones who had done it got away with it, like always. It felt like a freaking dictatorship where some posters could not say X, because Y posters would become angry at it.
In my view of the world, which is a liberal/libertarian one, we are free to state our opinion as long as we accept other people's opinion. Unfortunately, too many posters around here don't understand it that way and act as they are the rulers of Z thread.
