[QUOTE="WanderingMonster, post: 1510574, member: 573"] I just want some thoughts/guidleines here. Us veterans know that the most important part of EN World is the community. Of course we're a community invited into the virtual living room of the host (Morrus in this case), but I feel that part of the responsibility of the community is to self-moderate behavior that strays from what's accepted. For example, if you talk in a movie theater the manager doesn't "shush" you, the people around you do. I guess this is a role I feel that needs general guidelines. When do the mods want the Community to enforce its mores and standards, and when do you want us to hit the "bad post" button? I see the line being informing vs. enforcing. I can't enforce squat here, but I can let new posters know what's expected (i.e. "the mods don't take kindly to personal attacks"). Is that okay? I don't pretend to wield power over anything, and I generally keep quiet about it anyway. I recently felt moved to comment on someone's post in another thread, and it just got me to thinking. Thus this new post. What do the mods think? What the Community think? And the only thing that really matters I guess—what does Morrus think? [/QUOTE]
