As a .is mod had put it being a good user goes a long way.
It creates trust and respect over time which is hard won and earned leading to a user being given the benefit of the doubt more often than not in potentially rule violating situations.
Almost no one here for example would suggest or believe that a GrAY deserves as much benefit of the doubt as a long term established user and so it is the same concept here for a really good established user versus another established but still relatively unknown one.
Like it or not biases and external factors will always come into play when making these decisions.
It’s about doing what’s best for the overall community not being autistic about the letter of the law.
And the community is arguably best served by giving quality users the benefit of the doubt and lots of leeway so they can continue posting unhindered making the community better in so doing.
That doesn’t necessarily mean the unknowns will or should be treated badly or overly unfairly it just means they haven’t earned the privilege of being given the benefit of the doubt.
