Here the vibe is more about applying the law equally to mods/non-mods? Allowing more discussion to foster? not seeming like we all toe the company line? Something else?
I think a bit of clarity is always a good thing to strive for.

As far referring as this going down the road as the other thread yes, I was referring to the thread a while back where mods being more transparent was brought up. I didn't mean to suggest these threads are the same just that they would have the same fate.
Definitely agree about the vibe in this thread. As I mentioned, I was surprised by the tone of certain posts and obviously I am not the only one. Are the mods being held to a higher standard? Not sure I would say yes. Hell, maybe nobody reported said posts but would anybody reasonably report a moderator post?
I was just pointing out how one could come to the conclusion that certain posters who happen to be mods can give off the impression that they tow a company line. Is there a benefit to it? I have no idea but one could assume that being "nice" to the Flames on here could prove to beneficial outside of the forum. Don't we all question whether or not this is happening with main stream media and the NHL? Wasn't Leah Hextall just brought up recently and the reasons why she was let go? Is it far fetched to assume there are other Flames related interests outside of CP?
I personally think the discussion is fine. People will be questioned on things that others don't understand it have access to. I thinks it just human nature. Comes down to how the mods want to handle that. Helps to be a little more anonymous but that is it the window for most. Although, I don't think I knew you were a moderator and I assume you are by the phrasing of your post.
I don't mean to disparage in anyway, just a conversation I find interesting. I got in crap years ago for picking apart the mod on Sportsnet that worked for AEG or something like that who was horribly biased and would shut down anything critical of Sportsnet. I have never been to HF but the mods here sound like they are a thousand times more level headed than them.
Sorry for being all over the place a bit here, trying to do my kids homework and this new math is brutal.
