User talk:ListenerX/Moderator stump speech September 2011

All well and good but just wait until someone decides they don't like the decision you have moderated and decides they don't feel they need to abide by the mods rule. Then what? Aceace 05:05, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That has happened already; I believe the Wiki has survived it. But my understanding of the moderator's role is that they short-circuit pointless discussions and act as referee in votes, which is much less controversial than making a unilateral decision. 05:15, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
