CF is a BIG site with a lot of moderators. They each may have their own ideas about things which may not seem consistent on the surface (or even at all). And sometimes members expect the mods to be omniscient in that they must know every thread and every post made on the entire site. I get slammed all the time on my largest site because I may ding one person for a rule infraction while someone else in another thread did the same thing and got away with it. But I never READ that other post. CF has a lot of posts taking place, and it is highly impractical for every one to be read by one of the mods.
But in any event, I personally do not believe the premise that paying sponsors can do no wrong to the detriment of the members at large. I believe that a spade SHOULD be called a spade, no matter who is doing the calling or who is being the one called out. The paying sponsors may be putting money in your pocket, but a site IS the members, first and foremost.
