When does our forum rules become friction?
In the past (and even nowadays), I've seen many forum owners rule their communities with an iron fist. They're quick to lock topics, warn members in public, and take action. Sometimes, I wonder if many of these people just love having the power to do these things and want to use the moderation features anytime they can. I also see forums add moderators who share those same traits. It's one of the reasons why I'm so unexcited to add a moderator most of the time because I'm not sure how strict they plan to be.
How do you all feel about this and where do you stand in this equation? Over you an over-moderator?
