I dunno what specific example you're talking about, but I completely agree with you. That being said, I've had my fair share of moderators being lenient in enforcing spam rules against me with one liners. Though I've always had it go the other way where I've been warned for reasons I thought were a little ridiculous. Depends on the moderator, honestly.

And it's pretty much why I almost never post in the FF threads. The topics get recycled so often its pretty gross. But I encourage new and creative ideas for threads there.
