How to be a Great Admin and Moderator.

These will be rules on how to be an Admin. I am thoroughly mad at the current events, and I wish to improve the skills of some Admins.

First off, when you make a site, you have to choose what type of an Admin you will be.

Will you make everything organized, and well done, but whatever the Members order you to do, you will not listen?

Or will you listen to whatever the Members tell you to do?

Personally, I am an expert with the second style.

Let me explain the styles:

Style 1: You make sure your site is healthy. You make sure that Members will not experience favoritism. You make sure your site is well out of events that happen in other sites.

Style 2: You listen to what Members tell you to do. When two members are caught doing something wrong, you listen to the Members, who will tell you who to ban. When one Member asks you to do something, but the others do not, you are free to mess around with the Member. You can edit his posts, his signature, and avatar. But when the other Members see this as an act of wrong doing, you are in trouble.

Style 2 has no rules, Style 1 does, let me explain the rules of Style 1.

Rule 1: You do not hold Grudges. I had to tell 2 Moderators here that they have Grudges. You do not ban someone just because he is someone you do not like.

Rule 2: You do not bring situations from one place to another. Because of many mishaps in other Sites, Moderators decided to bring those situations to here and TWT, and thus, both sites suffer.

Rule 3: You do not hold Favoritism. I go against the VCP and Forum Veteran rank, because I feel bad to see a Mere Member look up to me for advice or something else. This is why I gave up my Forum Veteran and VCP status. I also gave up the Soul Protector status, because I am not to be considered an Elite, and I don't think anyone else should.

Rule 4: You follow the rules that you make for Members. Otherwise, you will be known as a bad Administrator who does not follow his own rules.

Rule 5: You do not flame members, even if they do something wrong. Here, I saw a Moderator flaming a member for posting Homosexual Porn all over this site. Whatever he does, all that you do is ban him, nothing else. No insults, no threats.

Rule 6: You fight back against Members who test your status. An Admin here cowers and runs when I come up to him and tell him to stop doing some things that I am not happy with.

Rule 7: If two members are fighting, you ban both of them, even the one Member that you support in the fight. An Admin is supposed to be a referee, not a fighter.

Thanks for posting these SS, hopefully people will take this as an example... but no one is perfect. I don't agree with everything stated in there, but many are correct.
