if the mods like you it doesn't mater what you post

I think it's more"If the mods like your style, then you are going to get more fps" - since, at the end of the day, an fp is just an "I like this!" from a mod.
I'm obviously lucky that at least one mod must like my stuff as I do very well with fp's. However, I've also posted plenty of crap which no-one has voted on and which has quitely vanished off the board.
Whilst I am aware that I am lucky that this is the case, the idea of mods who pick stuff according to the tone of a site is what gives a site it's voice. If every popular post was automatically fp'd without any moderation, then the site would quickly lose it's tone in favour of something more bland, in the same way that TV ratings do not necessarily flag up the best programmes.
