It seems that we all have power to control our own forums, should we excersize this power? :D:D

Good stuff - I was just saying it for reference anyways, the people at HLP are a fairly good bunch when it comes to this kind of thing :)

Rules of thumb for being a good admin.

1) Do unto others that you would do unto yourself.
2) If you weren't a admin, would you close the thread?
3) Inspire fear and control in the forum population, but never use that power.
4) Enjoy! :)

As the Bastard Operator From Hell always says,
"All power corrupts. Absolute power is even more fun."

Hmmm. Where'd I put that baseball bat?

These mod guidelines sound suspiciously like Spiderman guidelines:
With great power comes great responsibilty

And all that mushy, sentimental, do-gooding crap.

What do you suggest, frequent smiting of topics by the admin simply because they can? :rolleyes:

The guys who wrote Spiderman weren't morons.  They did have a point and a purpose.  It doesn't matter of Spiderman said it or the Pope, the sentence remains and its wisdom remains as well.

You just admitted that moderation powers should be abused - like hell should you ever be allowed them.

If I cared any less, an anti-caring field would begin to form around me and lower the levels of caring in anyone near me.

And yet you cared enough to bring up the whole thing in the first place.

an0n - do the world a favour and stop talking about this :)
