Forum talk:BFF Rules and Policies

Perhaps the most important thing to clarify is what it means to be a leader. If admins are going to be acting like them, then its equally important that they and everyone else know the standards they are going to be held to. That means being respectful at all times, regardless of the circumstance or how angry you are. Under any circumstances should you respond with insults. Explain your reasoning for your decisions, but dont insult the user, and dont presume that you're mature than they are. Encourage users, new and old to RP, set up RP events that people can sign up for. Help new users with their articles whenever you can, help them get their foot in the door so they can make friends here and actually start enjoying themselves. Hold mock tournaments similar to the Chuunin Exams to allow people to expand the abilities as characters. If you find that you cant do any of these things, then you probably shouldn't be an admin. Im not saying, you should ignore your own stories and not have your own fun, but I gotta agree with what was said on that Zangetsu talk page. There seems to be this sort of elitist type of group amongst the admins who honestly dont give a rats ass about anyone else's business but their own. Keep in mind that you as Admins are the measuring stick for everyone else. Your work, your characters, the powers of said characters, hell even your attitude towards other users, sets the standard for how others will act, and those that follow. That sets a precedent. Everyone, will look towards YOUR WORK to determine how they're characters measure up. Its called "Leading by example". And some of you should really ask yourselves if thats what you're doing. --- Illuminate Void 05:34, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
