I am here today to talk about title bar favourtism. It has been a topic that has been disccused many times over the years, and basically is the idea that Moderators are more lenient on people with "older" title bars. If one is mythic or heroic, a mod might let your post slide, even if it breaks the rules.
While it is not proven, and clearly does not work all the time, there is no doubt that certain moderators do hold favouritism.
A perfect example would be in a thread that happened today, with the mod known by most as "Foman".

Probably would rather have a post in the thread.You're uglier than a baboon with jock itch.
The person Foman quoted was simply replying honestly to a thread; just following the rules and posting in ways a respectable member should. But that wasn't good enough for Foman. He needed to assert his dominance and resorted to insulting and belittling someone who was posting politely and honestly.
In fact, this insult wasn't even an isolated incident. For eight pages (at the time of this posting) Foman has belittled and degraded every one of the posters who he has troll-baited into honestly replying to his thread.
For my last point, I will quote the rules of the website.
- Respect your fellow members, or at least tolerate them publicly. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated, even if they probably deserve it.
Foman clearly was not respecting that person, or any of the other members who replied to his thread. While one might expect this from a regular user, Foman is a moderator. He broke the very rules he is supposed to enforce.
So, the Bungie.net community, what do you think of this behaviour? And to you Foman, how can you even stand to look yourself in the mirror?
