I wasn't even going to bother posting in this, but…

It's your job? Do you get paid? No. It's what you think is your responsability based on your own twisted ideals.

I find it quite nice that you n00bs know your place. Don't speak out, don't have an opinion, don't think and you'll do fine at AP!
Forums where mods and normal members are treated equally? GASP! Blasphemy!!

I know, Sana-Kun will just get banned for voicing his own opinion, but I agree with most of what he is saying. You can't automatically demand respect, you have to earn it through trust, friendship, and professional attitudes.
Ever since I joined up, I always treated everyone equally. Be they Moderators, Admins, or even just the regular and new members. You can't forge this false sense of power over people just because you have a hand in running and owning the place. Everyone should treat people as individuals, and forget about this whole class argument.
Besides, how would you like it? - You are entitled to voice an opinion, and so are we as members. If I ever thought for a second that someone was abusing their power, I'd never even give them a second chance.
If this Forum were say, a real-life situation, I'm sure things would be a lot different.

**My problems aren't directly with the admins, but with some of the rules. Some of the rules here just don't make sense to me, like the minimum of 4 words a post. A lot of times I find one or two words to be better to express something than a whole paragraph.
And though he said it in a belligerent way, I think Sana-Kun has a point. I'm not going to love you just for being a moderator/admin. The moderators here are mostly alright, but if I see someone in a position of power being a prick, I'm not going to like them.
And sure, I appreciate the work that admins and moderators do, because I've done it myself a lot of times. It's not that easy.

_'Nough said, really.
Just to rectify, I'm not saying I don't appreciate people in charge picking through countless threads, sorting out arguments, spammers, and whatever else comes about, but that doesn't mean that anyone immediately has to drop down and taste some shoe, does it?
Just my personal opinion._
