I have an issue with the phrasing of this rule:
6. Disrespect of moderators decisions or forum rules will not be allowed. Disagreeing with the actions or opinions of a moderator in a moderation case is fine, but any sign of disrespect will be looked upon with grave seriousness. Ultimately we are here to keep order and keep community content appropriate, impeding these goals is unacceptable.
Respect is something to be given out of choice, not demanded, and people who demand respect, do not deserve any respect at all.

Moderators should be above and indifferent to insults and disrespectful treatment unless it disrupts the functioning of the forum.

Yay, mod bashing ftw :twisted:

Seriously, I agree there should be some kind of feedback of what the mods are doing, but we should respect them in what they do, for we need them. They're human too, you know ;)

Should respect everyone untill they prove themselves not deserving of respect, but this respect should come because it is the right thing to do, not because it is demanded from you.

This community is only for people who are here to be constructive members of this community, there is no right to post here. Frankly my position here is not to ponce around trying to satisfy a million imaginary rules for meeting the requirements for people to see me as authoritative enough to enact order here, if you don't see our authority figures as authoritative then we will remove you because you are not here to contribute to our community you are here to cause trouble. Remember, you are a guest in our house here, it doesn't matter what you think of us, if you don't treat us with the respect that any guest at another's property should then we don't want you as a guest any more.

I'm not claiming that somehow being a moderator of these forums magically makes you a stand up person who everyone else should look up to, what I am stating here is that you don't walk into another person's house and disrespect them if you don't intend to get kicked the hell out. We're not going to be indifferent because this is not a public forum, it is a private forum and we only welcome constructive members, anyone who is disrespectful of others here can go elsewhere, their destructive nature isn't welcome here.

Very well. If you don't respect me, fine. But please, at least be civil towards me.
