If a mod ever commits an offense, how should it be handled? Should we treat the offense as we would any other? Or should we give a harder/easier punishment? I've seen mods break rules before, and nothing happens to them simply becasue they are mods. I feel taht we should be objective when it comes to enforcing the rules, and that we should treat a mod the same way we would treat any other member.

I'm not saying it's okay, but again, I don't think we need specific guidelines to judge when someone has gone too far. Hopefully, the first mod that sees the spamming going on will call it to a stop- verbally warn, delete the spam posts, close the topic. The last 2 pages of anonymous shout outs 2- yeah, that was bad. But when there are mini conversations going on- so long as they're not blatantly spam, I think that's okay, so long as they are reminded to stop. But do I think it's worth warning them for? no.

It would be ridiculous to set okay cirumstances, because then people could just claim that's what they were doing. But in general, talking in topics- especially if it just happens to evolve off something random- should be considered a pretty minor offense
