Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Nx

Of course they are humans that make mistakes (that's why I'm not calling for the removal of Nx and I believe I didn't with Ace either the first weeks) but if you are a mod you need to behave in such a way that it doesn't cause even more trouble. That they don't enforce the opinion of the majority is a personal problem of every mod and the problem that the userbase elects people it already knows will be partial in many situations.

I think a month or so before Blue did it I posted a proposal for voting standards and almost nobody gave a fuck about it (I think many didn't see it either), Blue starts it and thanks to being a mod trying to calm down conflicts over what votes count or don't, should be stricken or not, she puts up a vote on a voting system that is now our standard. She could do this because she was a mod or maybe because nobody gives a flying fuck about what I think, but I haven't seen many normal users care about such things either.

Why should a mod have any different standards of behavior. They are not super users. They are not morally, ethically or in any other way more important than any other user.

They should not of course, use their Mod Powers out of line or for their own goods (which happens all to often around here), but they are not obligated, requested or at any time held to different standards.

Mods are not more important than any other editor, UMH, except that they have one extra job that should not be used very often.

I'm definitely a super user.

Yes you are. but that has nothing to do with your mod status, but your Super Userness. :-)

YMMV.

Just FYI, people (including me) were talking about voting standards before we even had mods. And your recollection of how things shook out is a little myopic, but good for you. You're getting the mileage you want out of this story so run with it.
