G'day Peter,
At risk of involving myself in this matter, I have to ask what the difference between rouge and rogue is. Is this simply the difference between an Australian and another spelling. Because I think its perfectly sensible to have a sentence that says "its great being a rogue admin", but I dont see how rouge, which is in my view a colour of makeup, relates to this sentence.
Heh! It's a long-standing Wikipedia in-joke.
Basically:
- A rouge admin is a good admin who is hated by trolls and ne'er-do-wells. Being "rouge" is a Good Thing, although there are policy wonks who tell us it's better to treat trolls and ne'er-do-wells according to process, no matter what, and that rougeness is therefore not to be encouraged.
"Rouge" is a mockery of the typical troll's inability to spell. Right up there with "teh interweb," et alia.
