Taxes do nothing to affect the share of wealth, since taxes are only applied to income.
So that's not even a part of the conversation at all, so it's pointless talking about it....
"for a "best" moral to exist, there must exist the "best" moral base. If the base of morality varies from location to location, culture to culture...then there can't be an absolute moral..
there are a couple of interesting things that you have mentioned. most notably, that you state that some mods may enforce rules inconsistently. that is what i expected, and i think that is too bad. i can't speak for anyone else, but when i see a legendary member make half of a dozen inappropriate posts (calling other members stupid, mocking them for their skill level, calling even more members stupid), i see it as many clear violations of the rules, and i expect such users to be expected to follow the rules to the same degree that we all are. and, when i personally get banned or warned in some of the same threads, the different treatment from the mods stands out further in my mind. call me crazy, but when i get banned or warned when i respond to posters who break rules, yet i see the same poster call people a laundry list of rude names without being banned, the different treatment of different users seems a bit unfair.
also, since personal attacks against other users involve such flagrant rules violations, i can't wrap my head around how the mood of the mods is material, nor can i see how that poster's title or lifelong posting history seem relevant. if a poster breaks rules repeatedly, i think that it would be appropriate for that person to be warned, and if he continues to break the same rules, then i think that it would be appropriate for that person to be banned.
but, this is not my main concern. my main concern does not involve how bnet members receive punishment, but how infrequently inappropriate threads get locked. in optimatch, EVERY DAY the same kinds of duplicate threads get created and mess up the first few pages of the forum. no matter what member title the op has, it seems appropriate to me that these obvious duplicate threads get locked in a timely fashion. and, i think that this would benefit everyone. it would benefit forum readers since the dup threads will nor remain active by being posted in, it would benefit members since they will learn the rules and have an incentive not to create dup threads, and it would help the mods since the rule about dup threads being against the rules will be made abundantly clear.

tl;dr lololol
We deal with what we get. We don't always get everything. Also, each of us has a distinct moderating style. Someone might deal with older members harder because they should know better, and some deal with them with a little leniency because they have earned some respect in the forums.
It really comes down to the personal mood of the moderator at the time.
Just report and move on. That's all you can do. If a mod gets around to it, whoopey! If not, that's ok.
