Whoa before I let the glory go to my head and the idea of being saintly

I tend to use the smilies
a) When my mood is bright , light and mature.
b) on forums I'm not a moderator in.

In the forums I moderate:
I will edit posts and nuke people with warning points... even people I like a lot, including myself (but I'm not sure if I like or dislike myself)....I've edited and then tried to warn myself for rants ...btw kids apparently moderators cannot give themselves warning points, they just get to emotionally whip themselves over ranting.

For minor offenses I might, just might PM the person to edit it. For something that is a direct attack on someone else the shears come out and the comment gets deleted.

For me I'd rather just chat and see everyone , it's when they don't get along that I have to resort to
