Board Thread:General Wiki Discussion/@comment-11012411-20130808063517

I was recently exploring other wikias to suffice the adventurer within me, and perusing the guidelines for their chats, users, and staff. Interestingly, I stumbled upon one wikia in which it had a set of protocols specifically for its moderators; How they should comport, emboldening teamwork amongst themselves, and certain rules regarding bans/kicks.

At first glance, one would view that this thread is otoise, mostly due to the fact that it is evident that "Every staff member is obligated to abide by the rules".

Well, apologies to those of you who retain that mindset, but that isn't always the case.

There have been cases in which moderators, regardless of their maturity levels, rapport with other users/staff, and contributions to the site, violate the rules and take it upon themselves to do as they please.

The enforcement of the rules is indeed entirely up to the discretion of the moderators and administrators, but if there's one frame of mind that should be intercepted, it's tyranny. I've seen occasions where moderators spam relentlessly and even use words that are deemed forbidden in the rules, and yet ban others for using them. That just isn't fair.

I petition for a set of rules inscribed for the staff. No user, regardless of what rights they've been imparted with, are above the rules of the establishment.
