Good point, Florence, however, there is the issue of "You need to act like
an adult, or make a halfway decent effort, to be here, and be unmoderated."
You ignore kids sometimes when they behave badly to get attention. You can't
always do that with an adult (or with kids, either).
And then, like Sarah just said, sometimes even a decent leader gets fed up
to the point of not being able to ignore bad behavior.
Exactly. And it's tough - as the moderator, in which the negativity is
being directed, I get a little paranoid about how far I can take my "power"
(note the quotes, for sarcastic emphasis). For example, on English
Wikipedia, from what I understand, if I was an admin and someone was
un-civil towards me, another admin would have to deal with it. I wouldn't be
allowed to deal with it. So I guess, that's why I haven't said "you're
out
of here." Or perhaps I just need some validation, or the co-moderator (Sue)
or something. (And this relates to your previous question about me
moderating others who are being disrespectful towards me.) I guess I'm
failing at being bold here.
