Are the moderators more tolerant of the misbehavior of highly ranked member

So, i have recently come out of hiding. Mainly, due to boredom. I have not posted terribly much. However, a friend of mine mentioned me today that I should be banned because he thinks that all of my posts since my re-emergence border on spam. However, he thinks that the reason I have [i]not[/i] been banned is because of my Mythic status. Now, as I've not come to the forums for quite a long time(to me), I have no idea if this seems to be a plausible, prevalent phenomenon. What do you think? EDIT: argh! accursed character limit in the title bar! [Edited on 04.01.2009 9:20 PM PDT]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] borrowedchief [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] x Foman123 x [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SonicJohn Are there any Mythic Members who have not been blacklisted or warned? I have a feeling that one of the requirements to reach Mythix is to have some warning/blacklist history. If only for the sake of the persons understanding rules that much better.[/quote]Sorry John, your feeling kinda makes sense, but there are plenty of Mythic Members with no warnings or blacklistings. Including many of the site's admins, Bungie employees, and Forum Ninjas.[/quote] Were you ever banned Foman? I don't ever recall you being banned before. Edited for elaboration[/quote] Oh he was. I remember it quite well. I even remember what it was about. Regardless of Fo's questionable past (teehee) it doesn't define his contribution to the community. Nor does 1 spam post by a Mythic define what they do. I post a lot of times off-topic, to kinda throw a little humor in here and there. But at the same time I'm posting in threads about what I think Optimatch should look like or answering questions when I can. And every now and then I'll get a PM from someone asking about Marathon, and that never makes it to the forum. If a Mythic is continually breaking the rules, I have no doubt that the mods will smite them. It doesn't even have to be a Mythic member either. I've seen long term members being given more deference than some Mythics. And as Pezz said, that's because before we even had these fancy-smancy titles, certain members got leeway because they were well-known positive contributors. ~B.B.
