it's not like we're at school and the mods are the teachers. they're just normal users who can change what people say and make sure that nothing dodgy is going on. it's not like they're gonna favour users even if they're friends with them (i know if i said something out of order then foolfarian would tell me to stfu even though i know him). they might be friendlier to them and have more banter but everyone's like that with their friends.
at any rate, even if one mod is favouring someone, why would another do the same? a bad post will get deleted regardless, surely?
