Do some AFF posters get preferential treatment?

[Lost]

I seem to recall that on NFCF several posters got a bit more room while posting before they were considered as going overboard. Is that also true of AFF? Or is every AFF poster on equal footing regarding their posting liberties?

I think this is something that everyone on AFF would eventually like to know.

This is a sincere inquiry; I'm not trying to be disrespectful. :tiphat

[ChTatum]

It's true everywhere.

[Malvaro]

pretty convenient timing considering that a thread just recently got closed.... imo :nah

regardless, I think AFF gives everyone a pretty long leash before being considered for getting in trouble.... unless they clearly violate a rule like swearing, posting anti-Christian themes, spamming, etc.... we got a pretty good AFF staff that keeps the forum balanced, running smoothly, etc.... :friend

LOOK! Another newbie as someone said!

Maybe someone else needs to come clean. :grampa

[Malvaro]

I think this thread is alot of fluff if noone can provide a solid example of unfairness taking place....

[Rhoni]

Patterns get set and continue in the same course and get the same results. Many times the one who has judged the hardest, caused the most dissention, and the most grief somehow becomes the model poster and promotes peace while blaming everyone else for the problem they caused and everyone buys into it...I don't really think there is preferential treatment but we get used to things being a certain way and when it doesn't go that way...it is easy to identify one as the patient who is the one who is healthiest.

I said all that to say...it is a full moon and the mud is deep in the dew of the evening...

I am probably the guy she is talking about.

On the thread that got locked today, during the morning PO and I fired a few friendly rounds at one another.

Later in the afternoon, I asked for a cease fire, because I have been around a while, and could see the signs of a bloodfest getting ready to start.

The tone and spirit of the thing was totally different this afternoon than it was this morning.

Thank-you Chosenbyone. :friend I have to say though, I would like the reputation of peacemaker, and pray for it often, but I seem to bring out the antagonism more often than not.

My friends try to help me with it but I have this wheel turning in the pit of my being that wants justice, equity, and balance...and it causes me to pull out reality, look at it, and try to deal with it, rather than; deny it, cover it up, and give a false sense of peace.

Bro. Phil,

Thank-you for reminding me what I love best...to pray. I prayed for Olivia and will continue to do so. The greatest thing the devil ever did for me was push me into prayer to survive. Now I know that through prayer I can storm the gates of hell and it is the devil that needs protection from me.

By the same token, if someone appears to receive preferential treatment, it might just be because they have earned it.

Should any poster ever get to a point where they "deserve an extra advantage" in their posting? Your post proves my entire point!

If a preferential treatment exists in a forum then there has to be some kind of criteria for deserving it. Is it how long a person has been with the forum? Their political leanings as a conservative or liberal? Is it the friends they know?

How can this be fair to the common person who's normal and unspectacular in their postings? Greatness cannot be acheived by all.

I think CS was talking about earning the respect of the admin team... as in, they cut folks they feel they know more slack, because they tend to understand their posting better than some others...
