The fact of the matter is that you threatened dozens of innocent members of the forum with negative trust if they didnt stop advertising a company that you thought were in the wrong. Can you deny this?
Is threatening people here with default trust negative allowed here?
No, I didn't. Go cry to Blazed please.
In all seriousness i dont think 1 single manager is giving priority to their "friends". I cannot confirm that from lutpin or lauda but im sure they have no problem allowing you to look over the spreadsheets and see the list of participants. I know i personally obviously have alot of open spots so im not giving priority to anyone.
Lauda can't even pick the users they get, unless they ban everyone else, there would be no way for them to "priorize" anyone.
As for me, I try setting up a good campaign, giving advantages to bad posters based on sympathy will ultimatively damage that, hence there's little reason to do so.
