I don't think it's the color bar so much as the person behind it that gets the leeway. I've seen several longstanding members post against the rules or spam, and instead of warnings or locks, the mods actually posted in the thread going along with it.
Take BB for example (no offence guy) but I remember when he posted a "This is my ___ B.Net birthday, cheers for me" here in the septagon. This would normally get locked, and probably a warning, since it went against the "specific user threads" and generally didn't belong here. However, most of the mods actually posted in the thread with congrats and many more posts. I know for a fact if I made the same thread, I'd get it locked, and while I might not get banned, I'd probably get a "This is not your blog" response.
So to sum up, some people are allowed to bump elbows with the mods and step on their toes a little since they know them so well.
