I find this an interesting discussion. However, I'll point out that a lot of the supposed complaints are incorrect. I've never abused my rights and I have very little fixation on them. Users who have been blocked, chat banned, kicked or warned have all been warned for legitimate reasons and I always asked WindStar7125 (where possible) to confirm that I had done the right thing.

Several incidents in the past are in the past: they should stay there. Some such incidents were started based on issues happening at the time and are unlikely to be repeated. Things of that nature occur. Let's not forget the issues where other users were trolling me and getting away with it...

There has been no users who have hinted they will not use chat or forums just because I'm a forum operator. Such a thing is ludicrous and if I'm really that bad of a person, then I don't know why I'm still here or why I seem to care more for this wiki and how it does. If there are users who will not use chat/forums due to me, then I'd like to hear from them and find out what I should be doing differently to get them to use chat/forums more regularly.

The funny part is that someone already indicated they have no issues with me having rights, yet I can't go overboard. Such hypocrisy: you complain when I'm not kicking/banning every person who just marginally violates chat policy, yet you don't like that I'm not kicking/banning every person who just marginally violates the policy. So what's it to be? Am I not allowed to be a chill user who uses his tools as and when they're needed?

The people suggesting I don't know what my level of rights are seem to be mistaken: I know exactly what my rights are, when I'm to use them and so on.

I'll just watch this thread to see what kind of reasoning comes up and chuckle. It is interesting how I'm the only one who is being discussed in this way: I haven't yet seen discussions like this for any other user who has behaved inappropriately.

I only got annoyed when sysops weren't doing anything before Forum Operators came into being. Since we have forum operators, there is very little need for a sysop to become involved at all.
