How did this one get verified?

When someone questions how a provider got "Verified" in an open thread the Implication is that something improper has occurred. Originally Posted by Spacemtn

it is my opinion that the rules are enforced differently for different members on this board.

take for example, Whispers, who can pretty much say whatever he wants whenever he wants and the mods refuse to do anything to him.

so why would anyone objectively think that any of the rules are enforced equally here?

As for the rules not being enforced equally, my mod partner Space gave me the points that resulted in a ban for me after I resigned as mod my first go around. He enforced the rules to me like any other member regardless that we worked as mods together and shared many beers, etc.

I kinda like their cavity searches.

Whispers is one of several people who receive preferential treatment on this board by mods. Other than that he has nothing to do with this discussion.

Mods obviously treat him differently. To deny it is silly, since there is so much evidence to the contrary.

I've made no implication about SL being mistreated. I made a observation that rules here are enforced differently upon different members. I would guess depending on what that person can do for that other person in real life.

And there is more than one mod, although I can surmise they are all friends.

Damn boobs! Get a cup of coffee and chill this morning! You are starting to sound like a personal attack and nobody should want to do that here. Whispers is very good at pushing the envelope without crossing the line (he may step on the line but is usually very careful not to cross it). Often times others that try to do that end up winding the line around their throats and hanging themselves with it. lol This is an information exchange board. Use the info to find whatever you are looking for, not to condemn others.......

Sorry for getting off subject.......

I may get special treatment because I'm crazy. I'm not sure. The Mods here are fair and both Whispers and I have received points. Many mods have different styles. I can honestly say when I ask a question here in Austin my question gets answered. In San Antonio Mokoa doesn't answer questions if he doesn't like you. He uses the rules to screw with people. When Whispers and I went down to pay him a visit no rules were broken. Still doesn't make it right.

I asked to get an explanation on why my thread was moved from coed to Sand Box. He just ignored my question in the thread, my PM and my RTM. That doesn't happen here in Austin. Yesterday I posted a review and got PA response in less than 5 minutes! Go SIXX!

When I started this thread I was not thinking about mods at all. As I look back I can see how it might have been interpreted that way.

Good point. It's that old, "Don't shoot the messenger!" idiom. Space & Sixx are just reminding us of the guidelines and policies on here, and the consequences for breaking them. I believe this may fall under the guideline of "quacking."
