Can mods infract theirselves?

I was just wondering, because it would be kind of funny/stupid if a mod posted off topic or something, and then infracted his/herself :D. Also can mods/admins infract eachother?

We're not alowed to give staff members an infraction anyway, we have to report them to Seacat, 8freak8 or sierk. (Don't know if admins and smods have to do the same)

Yeah, but in the other case we wouldn't report ourselves! :p But it is very rare for a Mod to break the rules.

I have known mod's to break the rule's then for member's to tell them, they then edit it before they get punished, unfair I say.

It can still be reported, senior staff can check Mod logs :)

No, Forum Moderators may not give themselves infractions.

1) The button is not even there in the first place on your own posts because,
2) it would be silly for us to have the button there to infract ourselves, because in order to infract ourselves, we would have to understand we are breaking a rule, and therefore, as Moderators, we are supposed to set a good example and not break the rules, so put simply :

No, we cannot infract ourselves as Moderators are not supposed to break the rules.

If you see a staff member breaking a rule, please PM their manager with links to where they are breaking rules etc. For example if a News Reporter was breaking rules, report it to Adzeh, who will contact 8Freak8.

Or you can just contact 8Freak8 :lol:

Thanks, any other questions, my PM inbox is always opened,

It seems to me that mods staff etc. are NEVER wrong. Therefore making it imposible to infract themselves.

I disagree with that statement.

Staff and Moderators are human beings, (except smiddy1234, who we have concluded is indeed, a robot) just like you! And due to the fact we are only human, we all make mistakes sometimes :)

Rule breaking however is usually not a "mistake" but something done deliberately.

All staff who break the rules are dealt with accordingly by Forum Management :)

If there wasn't an l in that I'd think you was hinting at something! :P

I know moderators/staff aren't allowed to break the rules, just like everyone else is. I just thought it would be rather amusing if they infracted themselves :P Also it should be dealt with severely if mods break the rules, as they are supposed to be setting an example.

First of all, thank you for pointing out my typo in a huge font so that everybody can see what an idiot I truly am, and how tired I am after school :p

I can assure you, Mods are dealt (no h) with accordingly if they break the rules, a little more severe than normal members, to get the point across :) Repititive rule breaking from any staff will result in them, ultimately, being fired.

Then I suppose sierk would warn him and to forestall your question, if sierk broke the rules we'd in a bit of trouble.

Even if we could, why would we? We'd have to pester the Super Moderators/Administrators to get them removed :P

That's a sercurity precaution though, Barkseh and Seacat had 1 also, it's for them to use when there not at home where the computer could be compermised..

Sierk doesn't break the rules, he's Dutch, like me, we never break the rules. ;)

To leave fun messages. =P

Some people say mods never break the rules, but I've seen plenty of staff breaking the rules, even mods. Just report them to 8freak8 or sierk or who ever the (assistant) manager is at that time. ;)
