Well I enjoy the topic I moderate so that's why I do it.
How does the power you have over people who are otherwise identical to you play into it?
The universal user rule should be "Don't be a dick!".

I mean, if you go to a restaurant, a movie theatre, or a supermarket, do you know how NOT to be an asshole? It's not hard. Most people can manage it on a day-to-day basis.
