How to Respect your Admins

[Unseelie]

Xoria, I believe that number one is a fundamental feature of the admins. They not only enforce the rules, but act as beacons for new and old players alike. They decide whether or not something is OORP, and refusing to answer questions, or not being available to answer questions, cripples and twists this community. Once one says we must go back, because the question has been asked before, a situation is created where extreme debates may get out of hand, without an admin every seeing it.

Though it adds to your workload, a final admin decision, or statement, early on in a debate, can spare this comumnity from many situations that could fracture it.

By the time the last avenues of inquiry except for admins have been exhausted, an issue can have easily spiraled out of control.

This community is very large, and there are many opposing viewpoints. I would hope the administrators would step in long before it is fracturing.
