Admins, Moderators & Trolls, oh my!

The internet can be a very amusing place. People can, also will, be anyone or anything they wish. That is, until they go too far or make a really big boo boo! 
It's easy to make a big boo boo, it takes a long time for people who saw it to forget it, even more time to forgive!

If your boo boo involves an Admin to a page or similarly, a moderator?
The offending party will be kicked out, banned, blocked. It doesn't matter what the offense is. If it offends the Admin(s), you're toast!

The Admins on some pages will as well as often do, post about their family problems, their children's illnesses/ operations.
The almighty Admin can break the rules, they are the ones with the ability to do whatever until another Admin call them on the proverbial carpet. LOL.
Then?
THEY are toast.

People who are Admins on FB pages have asked me on a few occasions to act as an Admin. I politely declined.
I see the tyrannical actions of some of the Admins such as writing rude statements toward others. 
Making up clearly ridiculous rules that they, themselves don't follow, while expecting others to adhere.

OR ELSE

Many of the rules are good, sensible guidelines. Some are simply redundant, nit picking, many rules with similar meanings.

Netiquette is a must, unless, of course, you're an Admin.

As an Admin, the entity can, as well as will, do whatever they wish. This can include deleting, blocking, doing whatever they wish. Often, it's in a random pattern which few if any others understand.

In a kinder, gentler world, admins as well as moderators could be unnecessary. The ones who sometimes wielded the "power" would be more understanding. The world is an imperfect one with random flashes of kindness, PIF, human compassion.

For now?

Mind your manners or the manners of the almighty admin or face being thrown out, unfriended, blocked.

This is my story, I'm sticking to it.

  2. You're welcome. I think that some people feel this way at times, yet, if they express it online, the Admin of the page will often unleash a can of whoop ass on them for speaking up.
