Dont wanna be banned? wanna know y youre banned? - Things will be different from now on...

I know that there are many who think I am power drunk, but let me say this.

First off, I have no doubt that all of you, as TMyApp was choosing mods, were thinking, "Oh, if I become a mod, things will be different...I'll improve this community."
Well, I'm tryin to keep that promise that I made to myself.

Second, I as Roll has said, I have banned NOONE since I became an admin.
If you like, I can issue fewer warnings and more IP bans, but I'm trying to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

Third, I have noticed that whenever I see someone break a small rule, say, minor flaming, and I decide to let you guys handle it, instead of acting mature, the topic always goes downhill until it's just another spam topic.
If you guys show youre mature enough, then I'll be more inclined to let you guys handle the minor flamings...

I've also repeated myself so many times that I dont think anyone even hears me. What else can I then do, but take action?

Da Vipa, if the power had truely gone to my head, dont you think I would have banned you for that remark, or edited your post to make it more favorable?

Maybe you guys havent noticed, but I have also improved the filter; you'll also notice that I havent blocked some kinds of ASCII--though it would make the filtering easier, it might also restrict you guys from makin ASCII pictures, or restrict you creatively.
If I truely wanted, I could make the filter foolproof, but then you guys would be restricted to plain text posts, with NO ASCII, NO tables, NO diagrams, and NO creativity allowed.

But I didn't. I'm allowing you guys more freedom, and if that freedom is abused, then less freedom will be granted.
It's as simple as that.

If anyone thinks I'm doing a bad job, please let me know, but do so in a constructive way...
I'm not gonna ban someone for speaking their mind as long as it is in a mature and polite fashion.
