Double Standards?

Disclaimer: I may be warned/banned for this but I think it is fair to ask...

Why is there so many double standards in this game?

Some are:

You are at war so you don't want anyone to attack you... but you attack them for their naquadah. What if their strike would of beaten your defense before it was massed? Shouldn't they be allowed to take it then?

Why do some people get to hidden when they make an ass out of themselves while others have to take the beating for their actions?

Why can moderators cuss and breach the rules and get away with it and when we show when I a mod does we get yelled at for it?

Why do certain alliances say you can't farm them and when you do they mass you. But they expect you to stand there and let them farm you to bits?

Why do you guys always make Tok'ra to be out nothing but trouble when he points out the flaws in certain areas? The way he does things isn't always the best way but hey, atleast he is pointing out the flaws (which is a good thing if you think about it).

We were all waiting for you to make a "it's not fair that he's banned" post again.

Here's a question for you:

Why do you continue to nag and whine about everything?

Please point to the whining and please point to where I made a "it's not fair that he's banned" thread in the first place...

Tok'ra did indirectly attack Forum. Forum is god, simple enough. He got what he deserved...

I am just curious as to why we have these double standards and which other ones are in play still too. So stop tryin' to nit pick at posts.

I am probably Tok`ra's closest friend on these forums and this time I banned him. He didn't get in trouble for pointing out flaws, I've always encouraged him to do that.

I'm not saying that is why he is banned. I fully agree with his banning. But I must say as I was reading the thread he post stating he was back, he was made a martyr by a lot of people. That he was "defacing" the forums. *cough* Semper *cough*. So I did not directly relating to him point out the flaws to his banning :P. But I indirectly did point out a flaw... Just can you see it? ;)

hidden: He got banned because he attacked Forum. Forum = God.

Common Human Sociology.
Humans seek to maximize their rewards, therefor to do this in this game they need to operate a policy that uses a double standard. They then justify and implement it through a number of different reasons.

Arrogance, failure to empathise and money... These three answer most/all of your questions imo.
