What do you like/hate at FL?

Of course, nobody denies that when you're regularly playing with an admin/admins and you create a friendship with them you'll probably have higher chances to get promoted.

Plot twist....person only acts in a certain way to staff members but has little to no interaction with other players.
They essentially kiss ass you. And you think they are being friendly. No sir, you are the victim of extreme ass licking, and if the above statement is truly your belief then you should not be allowed to participate in any more moderator decisions or discussions as you clearly have a bias and will vote up your friends.

So the way you're putting it makes it sound as if a person only makes serious RP when there are administrators around to see and acknowledge it, it shouldn't count?
After all, good RP is good RP regardless of the situation and those who partake. 

You have to remember that the vicinity of a staff member encourages people to RP better. 
Imagine you step into a shop that Jon Doe with 21 hours of playtime built because he wants to sell some pistols. The shop contains a total of one table, two chairs and a plant in the corner. Do you actually want to interract with this guy or do you just want to get your pistol, get out of there and find something better to do? 

Now instead imagine a guy who is known to be good at RP'ing and always makes stuff interesting, sets up a shop with tons of detail, constructs adverts that inform you about his services and he even makes deliveries. Wouldn't you take a bit longer to explore the potential here? After all we all know the good cases of roleplaying don't just come to you.

EDIT: I should probably state as well that this counts for forum posts too. Having a supervisor/admin/moderator etc. around is an assurance of some level of quality regardless of what you think about that exact admin. After all there must've been a reason they got promoted in the first place. It's all about creating an atmosphere people want to be a part of.
