While this kinda sounds assholish and egoistical at first, I know I do my job of guiding people and being a nice guy all around. If people act like shit towards me I will not hesitate to punish them, be verbal warnings and actual forum warn. I don't need to take shit from anyone, I will not act kind or be empathetic to those who don't deserve.
It kinda sounds harsh, but notice how well the community runs, and how many people support me. I'm not being an overpowered moron; I'm just doing what I'm supposed to while respecting my own rights.
I really enjoy this community and I like and admire a lot of people around here, I really can't feel sorry towards anyone.
I'd have to say that I'm more or less the same way.
In most cases, by the time anyone actually gets to the point of a ban (or in some cases just warning) it's generally after a long string of behavior in which I/we decide to ignore the person doing what they're doing so as not to seem too harsh, meaning that when the ban/warning actually comes we're pretty done by that point.
I mean, of course you don't want to come across like a dick and be too authoritarian and yeah sometimes it does feel kinda bad to discipline people in whatever way but there's a lot of discussion between us that goes on behind the scenes that regular members don't see where we make these kinds of decisions and of course sometimes the decision that needs to be made is "X needs to go."
I guess it sounds kinda harsh, but in the majority of cases the person deserved it so there's nothing to feel bad about.
At some point you have to stop allowing the person to step on your toes.
