(...) In my experience, mod/admin decisions should be made based on official warnings rather than peer recommendations, which may be biased or incomplete.

(...) I agree, admins that can't be trusted or don't behave for the good of their community are problematic. I belong to at least one message board (not LEGO-related) where a good deal of the above applies. I don't post there often. But if you're (...) (19 years ago, 3-Apr-06, to lugnet.admin.general)
