Because if staff starts to do whatever they want it will result in ruining the community. Fika waited to play a game for 15 min and you didn't pick him which means you broke a rule no matter how you look at it.
About that "staff are beyond the rules" thingy which bree is trying to say is truely pathetic, not only that this case is between 2 members in which a staff member should do the justice and follow the rules (since a staff member is not involved in this case) but also a staff member should be an example of how other should behave in this community and not the other way around to just discriminate a player and not doing whats right.
