I dunno.. that sounds a little power trippy compared to how I like things. We have discussions and debates amongst the staff on how to handle certain situations. We have rules that we enforce uncompromisingly and I also give my staff the ability to use their best judgement on non-personal issues. We've dealt with abuse of power in the past, and I wont deny that it can't happen again, but we give you guys the ability to call us on it. If you see a moderator blatantly altering "anything they want" then you come to me.
Now, about the influence, forgive the grandure, but all these rules that I've set are designed to keep those who care about the TFP happy. You're all here for any length of time because what you see interests you. The moment you start to think that things are shaking apart, we could possibly lose you. That's why we keep things tight around here. It may be a sharp learning curve compared to the rest of the internet, but that just ensures the quality of the crowd.
I can't stress enough that I need to know what's going on around here. If you are concerned about something, send a PM my way and let me know about it. I gather vibes and I take action on them. So, you won't influence me by staging a vote, per se, but if you give me the impression that my goals aren't being met at the current pace things are going at, you can do so much with one little message.
As far as the banning goes... someone fucked up. It doesn't take a lot to fit in here, but the law of averages provides us with several dimwitted individuals that we would rather rid ourselves of.
