AEAE was written up so that no user is regarded higher than another. So if I went in to a forum, and 5 people that were new said one thing, and another who was an admin said another, we wouldn't all agree with the admin and disregard the normal users because they're not admins. And I point you back to my previous point. We have to work with what we're given. Or are you honestly expecting one the companies to send us 9,000 copies of their next game for every single user that's ever made an edit here?

AEAE doesn't apply in this regard. It's like when we give out Sysop right, or chat mod rights. If we're giving them a piece of content, we need to be sure that user isn't just going to take it and then do a runner. It would be given to users that e trust. But those could be any users. It won't just be sysops, or b'crats. It could be Soap Shadow, it could be Verantha, it could be DBD Abyss, maybe it could even be you if we felt happy enough in letting you have it.

AEAE does not, and cannot apply, when it comes to giving out a limited amount of content. I mean, we were given only 3 copies of AW, are you going to claim that the people that got those violated AEAE because some random user wasn't given one of those copies?
